According to several reliable American media including Variety, the release of the rapper's new opus was suspended after a meeting in Wyoming with the leaders of his label Def Jam, who would have a bad look at the taste of more in addition pronounced their foal for religion.
For months, Kanye West has been much talked about for his Sunday Services, gospel masses he oversees every Sunday. It was with this amazing outdoor performance that he had performed at the Coachella Festival, surrounded by a choir, last April. A spirituality that he wanted to put in the foreground of his new project, announced by a photo of his wife Kim Kardashian where there was a copy of the Bible. The list of songs ("God Is", "Baptized", "Sweet Jesus" ...), later formalized on the official website of the rapper, confirmed this desire to address topics deeply related to Christianity.
Tweeting on Wednesday, Joe Coscarelli of The New York Times wrote that "many industry people" have told him "that Jesus Is King is not coming on Friday." West is currently in Wyoming, where he held a public edition of his Sunday Service gathering at the beginning of the week. He's still working on the album, according to Coscarelli's tweet, and "people on the ground in Wyoming are trying to make it happen."
