The comments came as the rapper and producer was promoting his latest album, ‘Jesus Is King’ which was released after long delays last week. Speaking to radio host Big Boy over the weekend, West claimed that Democrats “brainwashed” black Americans and made them “abort their children.”

When asked about his support for US President Donald Trump, West said: “We’re brainwashed out here, bro. Come on, man. This is a free man talking. Democrats had us voting [for the] Democrats with food stamps for years. What are you talking about? Guns in the Eighties, taking the fathers out the home, Plan B, lowering our votes, making us abort our children…Thou shall not kill.”

The comments came as the rapper and producer was promoting his latest album, ‘Jesus Is King’ which was released after long delays last week.

Reviewing Kanye’s latest album, NME said: “Like many great rock stars before him, Kanye West has cranked up God’s jukebox. ‘Jesus Is King’ lacks his trademark goofball sense of humour, but that’s partly compensated for with warmth and hope for the future.”

In a wide-reaching interview with Zane Lowe that went live last week (October 24), West revealed that a second album, ‘Jesus is Born’ will be released this Christmas. West also opened up about his recent conversation to Christianity in the interview.

West said: “Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” he said.

“I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me, and in that I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”
