This is more bad news for Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and Jesus won't be able to save him.
Spotted on USA SunKanye West's Sunday Service has been stripped of its charitable status because the troubled rapper failed to file his tax returns with Uncle Sam, aka the IRS.
According to the publication, the popular choir acquired its charitable status on December 12, 2021.
West introduced the choir to the masses in January 2019 through invitation-only music events that also served as “inspirational” promotional concerts for his gospel album “Jesus Is King.”
The band, led by choir director Jason White, became a hit with fans and eventually performed at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, Coachella, as well as the Hollywood Bowl and other events.
Speaking to Nick Cannon, the often boastful West claimed he spent $50 million on the Sunday Service in its first year.
“I spent every penny I have on marketing from Yeezy to Sunday Service. Every dollar I had,” Ye claimed.
He continued, “I spent $50 million last year on the Sunday Service, if you add the operas, if you add the flights. There were 120 people going to Jamaica.”
“The Yeezys, they were selling themselves. So instead of paying for advertising, I invested it in the church. I invested in the spread [the] Gospel. I invested in saying the name of Jesus out loud.”
West's involvement with the choir would become non-existent in recent months, with the IRS sharing the bad news about the choir on its website.
Per The American Sun:
But he seems to have had little to do with the choir in recent months and a recall date IRS The website is listed as May 15, 2024, confirming that it has lost its charity status.
It was first posted on August 12th, showing that it is still relevant.
Well.
Kanye West has been in the news lately, but not for a good reason. Whether it's dressing his wife, Bianca Censori, in what he thinks are clothes or the numerous lawsuits, most recently for the unauthorized use of some photos of him and Censori.
If there is good news for Mr. West, his new album with Ty Dolla $ign is out. We don't know how long it will be available because he can pull it at any time.
