“Ye,” formally known as Kanye West, has allegedly announced that he’s launching “Yeezy Porn” with Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband Mike Moz.
The adult entertainment brand is something Ye has apparently been wanting to add to the Yeezy empire for a while now, which many find strange, considering just a short time ago, the rapper was professing his newfound faith in God.
The Daily Mail also pointed out that this shocking announcement comes just “five years after revealing ‘addiction’ to lewd material.”
According to the article, Kanye admitted that porn had “destroyed his family,” and at one point, he even told the staff who was working on the “Jesus Is King” album, “I don’t want you having premarital sex, I don’t want you engaging in sexual immorality.”
But now, he’s launching a porn business? What gives?
Allie Beth Stuckey and Jason Whitlock sit down to discuss the news.
“This is the same guy who a few years ago was stunning all of us with his Gospel album [and] his conversion to Christ,” says Allie, adding that she personally felt “very excited” about Ye’s alleged spiritual awakening.
“He’s in a wrestling match with fame, which in my view is the most powerful drug on the planet,” says Jason. “And he’s losing that wrestling match.”
While Allie acknowledges that “we can’t discern his heart” or “what parts of his transformation a few years ago were sincere,” we can look at the situation and see that “this is spiritual warfare.”
“The Gospel was being proclaimed through his music [and] through some of his Sunday services. God was being worshiped, and Satan did not like that. That we know for sure,” she tells Jason.
According to Jason, Kanye is just another “story of the worship of money ... the world and being popular.”
“In order to win the battle he was trying to fight, he would have had to separate himself from the commercial music industry and all the demonic energy that’s within the music industry,” he says, adding that “Kanye hasn’t taken any of those steps.”
“We shouldn’t be all that surprised that he has fallen.”

J. Cole has committed the ultimate offense in the rap game — apologizing for releasing a dis track.
The track, titled “7 Minute Drill,” was a reply to Kendrick Lamar’s verse on the hit single “Like That.” In J. Cole’s dis, he said that Lamar had “fallen off like the Simpsons” and called his latest album “tragic.”
“It made me feel like 10 years ago, when I was moving incorrectly, and I pray that God will line me back up on my purpose,” J. Cole told an audience at his show. “I ain’t going to lie to y’all — the past two days felt terrible,” he added.
Jason Whitlock believes that this “sounds like maturity happening in the rap music industry,” and Christian Gospel rapper Dee-1 agrees.
“I heard a lot of growth and a lot of maturity from J. Cole. I heard a brother who acknowledged that he’s trying to be driven by his God-given purpose as opposed to his ego,” Dee-1 says.
However, this opinion is not reflected by the rap-loving masses.
“What you’re seeing on social media is that is not what people want to see. People want hip-hop to be a blood sport,” Dee-1 tells Whitlock, noting that this isn’t good for the black community as a whole.
“The two black mainstream artists who are considered to be conscious artists, what does that look like if they are sitting out here beefing? That looks horrible for us as a black community,” Dee-1 says.
Unfortunately, those fans who watched the beef unfold care more about being entertained than they do about doing the right thing.
“Sometimes, you’ve got to ask yourself: Is your desire to be entertained going to have to come at the expense of peace and progress inside of the hip-hop community?” Dee-1 says.
