Jesus Is King was expected to arrive on Friday, Sept. 27, but several music publications have reported that it has been delayed. It’s unclear when he plans to release it. Last month, Kim Kardashian revealed the 12 religious-themed track titles including “God Is,” “Baptized,” “Selah,” and “Sweet Jesus.”
It’s possible that Ye will debut new music during tonight’s event. The Fox announced that phones are not allowed inside and will be locked in a pouch until after the show.
Earlier today, Kanye hosted a Sunday Service at Detroit’s Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre, where he performed gospel versions of songs like “Ultralight Beam” and “Father Stretch My Hands.” According to the Detroit Free-Press, Kim and the couple’s children were also in attendance.
