Kanye West Credits God For Making His New Album, Says He Only Did 2% Of The Work
Kanye West claims he put in “two per cent” of the work on his new album and God did the rest.
Yeezy has spoken about his indecisiveness in naming his new LP (probably called ‘So Help Me God‘ at this point), also claiming that he only did 2% of the work and God did the rest. In an interview, Kanye reckons that God took over his body and finished the upcoming tracks for him.
It’s still unclear if West, who also claims he is a God, is taking all the credit or referring to a power higher than himself (sadly, both seem likely).
Kanye is due to release his highly-anticipated LP later this month, which he previously proclaimed to be the best record “of all time”, but he insists he didn’t contribute much to it.
He said:
“[The album is] a dream that can’t happen without God.
“I’m only doing two percent of the work. God is doing the rest of the work.”
And Kanye also gave credit to his late mother Donda West and wife Kim Kardashian West‘s late father Robert Kardashian – who famously helped defend O.J. Simpson when he was accused of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson – for watching over production of the record.
Speaking on Los Angeles radio station Real 92.3, he quipped of his father-in-law:
“He’s still doing deals for controversial black people from up in heaven.”
The ‘All Day’ hitmaker initially titled his record ‘Swish’ before changing it to ‘Waves’ and a poll carried out on Twitter by his wife earlier this week revealed ‘So Help Me God’ is also potentially its name.
And Kanye said he wanted to run the poll to allow his “family” some input.
He explained:
“I wanted to get people’s opinions on how they felt.
“What I’ve really come to realise about being a celebrity is … everybody is our family. It’s family. If something bad happens, you’re gonna hear about it….
“Obviously I have made a connection with people – a family-level connection that they played my music in their houses for so many years with their mothers, their friends, their kids. We love any opportunity we have to involve all of our family in the creative process.”
Don’t ever stop being you Kanye, you beautiful, twisted soul.
