“Donda is NOT a gospel or Christian album STOP with the BS,” one person said on Twitter in response to the article.
“The Clark Sisters are rolling over in their graves seeing this,” another said.
“Somewhere Kirk Franklin is giving the side-eye,” another said.
Others pointed out that calling ‘
Donda’ a Christian or gospel album was, in essence, disrespecting the sacrosanctity of the religion as Kanye had invited one of the biggest Satanists, Marilyn Manson, on stage while he performed and also to be a part of the album.
Others, however, celebrated the rapper’s ins as they noted that his own conversion to Christianity was “winning souls for Christ.”
