Kanye West Says ‘Jesus’ Is Offensive

Contributed Anonymously:

On 60 Minutes, Kanye West tells correspondent Bob Simon why he feels that using the word “Jesus” in songs are just as offensive to people as using the “N-word”. In a CBS Television Network interview, airing on Wednesday, December 8 (8-9 pm ET/PT), West recalls how his music industry friends warned him about making the single ‘Jesus Walks’. The mixture of Jesus and God in the same song with curse words might have offended some, but West didn’t care, he tells Simon “It’s speaking to the people that I think God is really trying to reach.” Read more and watch West perform ‘Jesus Walks’ at CBSNews.com.
