Kanye West Talks God's Mission for Him to Help People
Kanye West is speaking up about God's mission for him to help people.
West, the 37-year-old rap mogul, recently appeared on Power 106 FM where he defended comparing himself to well known figures like Steve Jobs. However, he insists that instead of calling him egotistical, people should focus on his intent for distributing his messages the way he does.
"Don't worry about how I'm saying what I'm saying," he said on the radio station. "Look at what I'm saying and how I feel and how my intent is."

The "Yeezus" rapper spoke about his belief that God has called him to a specific mission that he is currently carrying out.
"You do not want to go against the power. I'm working on one mission, and that's a mission from God," West said on the radio show. "I'm gonna make it very clear exactly what I'm here to do."
West insisted that he is not here to be egotistical, but to help others.
"I'm here to help. I'm going to apply all the blessings I've got," he said. "We're moving to the future. [And] I'm gonna be the anchor."
The cast of Oxygen's hit docu-series "Preachers of L.A." joined the Wendy Williams show recently where the outspoken talk show host asked about their opinions on West. Bishop Ron M. Gibson of Life Church of God In Christ in California insists that while West is gifted, he needs some guidance.
"I think Kanye West is a tremendous gift to the world, I just have a problem with Kanye West's philosophy," Gibson told host Williams. "I just think Kanye needs a positive role model. I would love to mentor Kanye West, he's a great guy."
Still, Gibson did not hesitate to criticize West's recent "Bound 2" video release that features sexual imagery stating, "He's not throwing Jesus of the Bible out there."
While minister and gospel singer Deitrick Haddon said that he could understand West's creativity, Pastor Jay Haizlip of The Sanctuary Church in California seemed to agree that the rap mogul may have some learning to do before claiming to carry out God's work.
"Honestly there's some interest he's expressing toward Jesus and toward God and for that I'm thankful," Haizlip told Williams last year. "Maybe he's not fully knowledgeable about the level that he may need to be to be doing what he's doing."
