We previously reported, West asked his “Jesus Is King” collaborators to abstain from sex and pray together during the making of the project.
“This is gonna be radical what I’m about to say,” he said during a lengthy interview last month with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe on Apple Music, noting that in addition to “asking people to fast” there were also “times I was asking people to not have premarital sex while they were working on the album.”
“I know that’s one where The Shade Room will be like ‘what you mean not have premarital sex!?’ but seriously there’s times I went to people that were working on other projects and said could you just work and focus on this?” he continued. “I mean it’s known when people pray together, families that pray together stay together. When people pray together and fast together, the power is increased.”
West also claimed his faith helped him kick his porn addiction.
“Playboy was my gateway into full-on pornography addiction,” he said. “My dad had a Playboy left out at age 5, and it’s affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life from age 5 to now, having to kick the habit.”
