KANYE WEST HAS SOMETHING IN COMMON WITH SCIENTOLOGY

Kanye West, 44, is back in Los Angeles looking happy as a clam- and no wonder. He just returned from a hot weekend with Irina Shayk and his Sunday services have been declared tax exempt. Remember those big invitation-only musical Sunday “services” he used to promote? He even had televangelist Joel Osteen join him for some appearances. (coincidentally or not, many of the people who worked with him on these performances are suing him because they didn’t get paid.) Now Kanye has registered his Sunday services as a non-profit and they are exempt from federal, state, and property taxes, just like SCIENTOLOGY! He calls his 2.2 mil bachelor-pad home in Calabasas church “headquarters” so it’s untaxed also!

KANYE SAYS: GET CLOSER TO GOD AND YOU’LL GET RICH

Apparently the only person that could convince Kanye West to take his meds is God – or Jesus Christ himself, so he continues to spiral out of control. It might be time for Pastor Joel Osteen to start backing away from Kanye, although their working together has been mutually beneficial. It looks good for an evangelical preacher to embrace a person of color, and Kanye has learned a lot about using religion as a tax exemption. Kanye continues to insist that he is “the greatest artist that God ever created” and claims that his wealth is the result of becoming closer to God. Kanye’s latest stunts- peeing on his Grammy, ranting about record company contracts etc, can only make us (and Kim) wonder what Kanye – and God- have in store for us next.

KANYE WEST DELIVERS HIS RAP IN GOSPEL FORM

His energy level is over the moon lately as Kanye West continues to crank out operas and conduct massive church services in cities across the country. His bragging about being “the greatest artist that God ever created” does make one wonder about his mental health. Kanye continues to earn shocking amounts of money from his footwear and apparel (more than from his music) – he calls himself a billionaire. He also owns lots of property, so we can’t help wondering if his new friendship with prosperous televangelist Joel Osteen has SOMETHING to do with the fact that churches don’t pay taxes…(and they SHOULD!)
