Kanye West calls himself 'the greatest artist God has ever created'

Kanye West made a highly anticipated appearance at televangelist Joel Osteen's mega church in Texas on Sunday where he opened up about his faith and his latest album.

The 42-year-old rapper appeared at the Lakewood Church in Houston where he talked about his 'journey to his faith' for about 20 minutes before the crowd of 17,000.

'I know God's been calling me for a long time and the devil has been distracting me for a long time,' West said when he took to the stage in a smart black suit.

The rapper opened up about his spiritual awakening, saying God gave him visions which inspired his gospel album and the creation of Sunday Service.

'Now the greatest artist God ever created is now working for him,' he added with a smile.

I don't understand why some religious people are not diagnosed with schizophrenia?

I read delusions of grandeur are also associated with bipolar.

Kanye has found the CULT grift and he is going to push it to the limit!

... Kanye the next Jim Jones or David Koresh!

So many people have told me when they met/worked with Kanye that he is really ILL!

Like beyond ILL!

Mozart, Beethoven and Bach (among others) might take precedence for "greatest artist God has ever created."

with a picture of Jimi Hendrix and Kayne West

An R&B singer from the 60s chimed in saying (paraphrased): "Jimi was a great musician, my friend and a kind man. I don't know who the other guy is."
