In a recent appearance on The Late Show with James Corden, Kanye West said he received a [68 Million tax refund](http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/celebrity/kanye-west-says-he-got-a-dollar68-million-tax-return/ar-AAJwsJf?ocid=ientp): > [@](#): > > “People say, ‘Oh don’t talk about these numbers,’” he continued. “No, people need to hear that someone that had been put into debt by the system talk about these kind of numbers now that they’re in service to Christ.” Seriously, the guy is mentally ill, as has been shown again and again. Is it fair to have him on just to have him continue to embarrass himself publicly? (This is not a knock on James Corden, nor am I a fan of KW. Just a general observation.) ---

He may be in service to Jesus Christ, but from over here it looks like he’s in service to Trump and the rest of the GOP, and has for a while now. ---

On the bright side at least he has one hell of an accountant working for him. ---

Really, Kanye, serve Christ and donate a chunk to \*me. I promise I’ll blow it responsibly. \*check out the Dope and drop me a PM. I’ll get back to you. ---

It’s been known for a long time (thanks to _South Park_) that Kanye West is a gay fish. ---

Yeah, he bought a big ranch near where I used to live and recently purchased a huge lot, where he’s putting up an ugly “temporary” building. Apparently he’s planning to open a shoe or clothing factory. The locals are in a tizzy. Since he’s famous AND a Trump supporter, they’re about to canonize him. The local paper said his Adidas Yeezy line is expected to hit $1.5 billion in sales by year’s end. I don’t think taxes will put him in debt anytime soon. ---

As a Christian, all I can say is ugh. You should not be a follower of Jesus to get big tax returns. That is something straight out of the playbook of television prosperity teachers. ---

I saw him on Letterman’s Netflix show. I was surprised by how even keeled he was. I guess he’s off his meds again. ---

I don’t think he has any opinion about Trump at all. He’s a pure troll. He says that he supports Trump, because that’s what will get him the most attention. Just like everything else he does. ---

My evangelical relatives think Kanye has truly found Jesus, and are thrilled that such a big celebrity is brave enough to go public about his faith. 😑 ---

I think he has found Jesus. I also think he needs his meds. Every day, and not starting and stopping, which he appears to have a history of doing. ---

> [@Mister\_Rik](#): > > I’ll just leave this here: > [Kanye West Becomes Christian, Immediately Begins Making Mediocre Music](https://babylonbee.com/news/kanye-west-becomes-christian-immediately-begins-making-mediocre-music) I don’t often find babylonbee all that funny, but that is great. One truth that seems to be universal is that modern Christian music is consistently mediocre. Oh, sure, someone comes along and makes a good or even great Christian album, but so many successful Christian artists never would have made it if they hadn’t found that specific market to reach out to. ---

There’s plenty of good Christian music. It just isn’t made by people who call themselves “Christian musicians”. If you’re a good rock singer who’s Christian, you call yourself a rock singer. If you’re a good rapper who’s Christian, you call yourself a rapper. If you’re a mediocre musician (of any sort) who’s Christian, then you call yourself a Christian musician, and sell to people who don’t care about quality as long as it’s Christian. ---

I think he’s found religion, in the same way that L Ron Hubbard and Joel Orstein did. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thats-just-sad-now-kanye-west/842663.md?page=2)
