The chart-topping artist has not been shy about his close relationship with religion. In 2019, he went viral after hosting his iconic Sunday Service at Coachella festival in California. And in October, he dropped a Gospel album titled Jesus Is King.
On August 21, Kanye claimed he was now in communication with TikTok to bring his faith to the app. In the social media post, the 43-year-old excitedly told his followers that he would keep them updated.
“WE GOT IN CONTACT WITH TIK TOK PRAISE THE LORD…I’LL KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED,” the tweet exclaimed.

At the time of writing, TikTok has not officially made any statements as to whether they are in talks with West, or considering his “JesusTok” idea.
However, the artist has dipped his toes in many ventures before, from fashion design to filmmaking. Perhaps his next big project will be the hit app.
