Kanye West Explains Why He Brought A Jesus Lookalike On Stage For YEEZUS Tour

Kanye West definitely stepped on toes with his recent Jesus Lookalike stunt which has sparked a lot of criticism. Speaking at Wild 94.9, Kanye explains his decision to bring Jesus on stage during his YEEZUS tour.

"I had a friend of mine that is a pastor and we were discussing how we were going to deliver it. My girl even asked afterwards “isn’t that weird if Jesus comes on stage or something like that?” No we do plays all the time where people play Jesus. What’s awesome about Christianity is that we are allowed to portray God. We'e allowed to draw an image of Him. We’re allowed to make movies about Him. Other religions you can’t do that. And that's really amazing. Michelangelo did it…It’s a painting, it’s a sculpture, it’s a moving opera, it's a play, it’s a message. I’m not even going to do any comparisons with that. God knows where my heart is at," Kanye said.
