Kanye West Will Team Up With Joel Osteen Again For An Event At Yankee Stadium
There was probably a time in his career when Kanye West could fill Yankee Stadium all on his own, but lately, he needs the help of a higher power. And Jesus just ain’t going to cut it. So Kanye’s calling on an even higher power, large-toothed televangelist Joel Osteen. According to TMZ, Kanye will be joining Joel in May for an event at Yankee Stadium called “America’s Night of Hope.” Kanye’s figured out the secret to success. If you want people to hoot and holler for you, regardless of the quality of your message, put yourself in front of a crowd of believers and name drop Jesus a bunch of times. You’ll have them eating out of the psalm of your hands.
Kanye and Joel have already performed as a duo, sadly missing the opportunity to call themselves The Most Righteous Brothers. At that time, Kanye was a guest in Joel’s house, Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas (Joel kindly rents it out to God on weekends and unlike Chick-Fil-A, is actually open on Sundays. Lakewood:1, Chick-Fil-A: – 100000). On that occasion, Kanye told 45,000 of Joel’s closest friends that he was “the greatest artist that God has ever created” without being smote in his tracks. Talk about miracles! TMZ reports:
Sources close to Kanye tell us … Ye and Joel will take center stage at baseball’s cathedral on May 2, 2020 for a mega event that certainly plays like a tour stop. The NYC event is part of Joel’s “America’s Night of Hope” … which he takes to several cities across the country.
We’re told Joel will do his sermon at Yankee Stadium, and then let Kanye and his choir do their thing with the music. Call it a double play, considering the setting, similar to what they did a few weeks ago in Houston.
I wonder if Kanye will perform Jesus Walks from the pitchers mound. Well, at least Yankee Stadium is catered, unlike that field in Baton Rouge where Kanye’s Sunday Service attendees were served pancakes that were more dried out than the Shroud of Turin. And lord knows, Jesus loves a stadium dog almost as much as he loves you.
