Kanye West Says God Rewarded Him With $68 Million Tax Refund

Kanye’s most recent comments are (once again) getting him rightfully dragged. After the resident musty MAGA Machiavellian released his “Jesus Is King” album, he’s been making promo rounds including an appearance on James Corden’s carpool karaoke for a special “Airpool Karaoke” edition on a plane with his Sunday Service choir.

During the show Kanye excitedly shared that God was using him “to show off” and because of his born-again status, he got a whopping $68 million tax refund.

“God is using me to show off,” Kanye exclaimed. “Last year I made $115 million and still ended up $35 million in debt. This year I looked up and I just got $68 million returned to me on my tax returns.”

“People need to hear [from] someone that has been put into debt by the system, talk about these type of numbers now that they’re in service to Christ.”

SIIIIIIIGH! #1—must be nice, #2—that wasn’t God, that was your beloved Orange Piss POTUS, Kanye.

In addition to blabbering about his tax return, Kanye’s also catching heat for comments he made about black people and our “lack of culture.” According to Yeezy, black people are “orphans” and “culture-less.” He also said that “taking the knee is cultural” and said he doesn’t “do it for the culture”, he does it for Christ.

 

Hit the flip for those wonky comments.

“And this one of my main things: What is the culture? It’s like, ‘Man, this ain’t for the culture, we doing something for the culture.’ We are orphans, bro,” said Kanye on Big Boy’s Neighborhood. ”We are culture-less. We don’t have our own culture. We signed to culture vultures. We sign our life away, our contracts are culture vultures. Think about everything that’s cultural. Taking the knee is cultural; being on social media is cultural; wearing high-fashion is cultural; pushing a foreign is cultural; all these things are not owned by our culture. So who designed the culture? What does it mean to do it for the culture? That’s why I do it for Christ.”

SMH…but wait, there’s more on the flip.

Ye is still BIG mad about people calling him a coon because he “didn’t vote for Hillary” (it was actually over his “slavery was a choice” comments but WHATEVER) and he told Big Boy that middle America “loves him.” He recalled a story about being praised by a middle American in traffic.

“Me being taken to my lowest, being called a coon by my own people. The guy that said ‘George Bush doesn’t care about Black people’ is a coon because I didn’t say ‘I’m going to vote on Hillary Clinton.’ And that actually made me more relatable. You can’t imagine when I go through Middle America,” said Kanye on Big Boy’s neighborhood. “I was driving fast … and I hit a red light and a guy said, ‘Now, why you gotta go so fast, that you gotta drive and cut me – what Kanye? Oh, thank you for what you’re doing for our country. Thank you so much.’ Like, you have no idea.”

Did we mention that Donald Trump Jr. recently endorsed “Jesus Is King” and called Koonye Kanye a “pioneer”???

Are YOU listening to that album?
