(OPINION) Rapper Kanye West is facing backlash after he called himself “the new Jesus” in his new album “Vultures 1,” which includes a song called “Carnival” that is reportedly filled with obscene language and sexual violence.

West, who is now known as Ye, released the new album on Feb. 10 as a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, which was infused with much profane language.

“They served us the porn since the day we was born / Anybody pissed off, gotta make ’em drink the urine,” the 46-year-old rapper recited during his song.

“Now I’m Ye-Kelly, b—, now I’m Bill Cosby, b— / Now, I’m Puff Daddy rich, that’s Me Too me rich.”

After more verses filled with crude sexual references and a reference to pop star Taylor Swift, West states: “I’m the new Jesus, b—, I turn water to Cris.'”

The rapper mentions R&B singer R. Kelly and actor Bill Cosby, who have both suffered from degrading reputations after sexual assault allegations were brought up against them.

Cosby’s criminal conviction was later overturned, but he was found to be civilly liable for sexual assault. Puff Daddy (Sean “Diddy” Combs) is another celebrity who has formerly had sexual assault accusations brought up against him.

West calling himself the “new Jesus” prompted criticism from Christian commentators on social media and responses from others seeking to defend the rapper.

“Kanye fans getting mad at Christians for calling him out only comes from emotions,” Christian rapper Bryson Gray tweeted. “We are holding him to standards that he has publicly set for himself. You don’t care how inconsistent he is … cool That doesn’t change the facts though.”

In recent years, West has claimed to have found a Christian faith. Before controversy surrounding anti-Semitic comments plagued his reputation in the last two years, he released music with Christian themes.

He also began hosting “Sunday Services,” which drew thousands for live events at American megachurches that starred different popular Christian leaders and Christian celebrities.
