Outrage as Kanye West sells 'rip-off' $55 'Brunchella' breakfast plate
By Keith Griffith For Dailymail.com

Local organizers at a church service where Kanye West appeared are coming under harsh criticism online for long lines and pathetic food offerings prior to the event, sparking comparisons to the notorious failed Fyre Festival.

West performed at the outdoor service on Friday night at Bethany Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, drawing a crowd of thousands for the program of Christian preaching and songs from his new album, Jesus Is King.

Though the church service was free, local organizers charged $55 for a 'Brunchella' breakfast plate before the service as a church fundraiser, and at least one woman demanded her money back, posting a photo of her sad-looking Styrofoam breakfast plate to Facebook.

A source close to the event says that West was not paid for his performance, and even covered his own travel expenses to attend and spread the Gospel. A spokesperson for West declined to comment to DailyMail.com.

Kimberly Kinchen demanded a refund of her $55, posting to Facebook this picture of her sad-looking $55 plate from a church fundraiser before West performed on Friday in Baton Rouge

The pathetic 'VIP area' and huge lines also added to the frustrations of paid attendees

Although West did not receive proceeds from the church fundraiser, organizers marketed the 'Brunchella' as part of a 'Kanye West Sunday Service'

Nevertheless, a social media post quickly went viral complaining about the food sold by local organizers prior to the event.

'Can y'all cover a story on this because I want my coins back,' wrote Kimberly Kinchen in a post directed at a local news station.

'This is the wonderful & COLD brunch BUFFET we are being served,' said said, adding, 'the server looked at me crazy when I asked for another pancake.'

In a statement provided to DailyMail.com, the caterers who worked the event said: 'Lauryn’s Fine Catering has been contacted about the poor service and quality of food provided during the event as a paid vendor.

'The catering company acknowledges it did not provide adequate food for ONE attendee and a social media post went viral. Any further inquiries or food complaints associated with the event can be directed to Lauryn’s Fine Catering,' the statement continued.

Others were quick to speak up online, posting photos of a pathetic looking VIP area marked by a lawn sign on a grassy knoll.

'Like they really had us hanging out on a hill away from the stage, promised we'd be ushered in later, only to hit us with 'nope',' one person wrote on Twitter.

As crowds packed the area for the event, huge lines formed, with thousands jostling to get closer to the stage.

In frustration, some attendees even climbed trees to peer over the heads of the masses.

Frustrations mounted as West was late arriving at the event, leaving the crowd of thousands waiting listlessly after sunset

Tensions boiled over as the same four-song playlist played on repeat as people waited

West was all smiles when he arrived at the event with his children. Many people who attended said they came to hear his testimony for Jesus Christ

Tensions rose at the event as West's performance was delayed by hours after the scheduled start time of 6pm.

'It's now 730 and STILL, no Kanye. Same playlist still on repeat. Slowly losing sanity,' one person wrote on Twitter.

The complaints inevitably sparked comparisons to Fyre Festival, a fraudulent 'luxury music festival' in 2017 that was the subject of multiple documentaries.

However, not everyone was disappointed in Friday's event, as those who opted out of the brunch were able to attend for free.

Many of those in attendance said they wanted to hear West's testimony for Jesus Christ. The songs on his new album chronicle West's journey through Christianity.

Kanye West believes his success is attributed to his turning to God.

I get where you’re coming from, but wouldnt the best way to make money be to take as little of a stand as possible? By making a Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist, etc., “music” you’re cutting down your demographics quite a bit. I know almost nothing about Kanye West, or what actually believes, but seems smart business would be to be as mainstream as possible?
 
I saw Kanye when he open for U2 at the Rose Garden. Both groups were fucking great!

I do understand why people have these types of responses as many, many so-called stars (and many other influential people, etc.) have stood up on soapboxes espousing their faith "in the name of God", yet couldn't be further from truly following him.

Prior to coming to Christ, I would have been the LAST person you'd ever expect to do that. That said, I still give every person the benefit of the doubt when it comes to hearing they now follow Jesus.



This bottom vid, while a bit long, is rather insightful into Kanye's personal life. He's a guest on his "mother-in law's" (Kris Kardashian's) television show. He speaks of his relationship with God beginning around the 27:30 mark.




As an aside.....

Yeah, but you also believe trump is a Christian despite so many things he does that goes totally against Christianity. Splain that one. Seems a bit hypocritical to me. :bgrin:
 
If Kanye is born again, good for him.....if he's born again for profit and marketing...fuck him

anything associated with a Kardashian is always done for money. They are all some of the least realistic people around

I don't ever recall making that statement as it's not mine to make that call.

I apologize if I misread or misinterpreted the bolded parts of your earlier post, but it appears you did "make the call" because the 2 statements seem to contradict each other.

They don't at all. Many people claim to be followers of Christ that is not then followed by the bearing of spiritual fruit. It's called walking the talk. This is different from an initial benefit of the doubt. That said, any person, at any time, can make a complete about face (repentance)...even after numerous failures to do so. At any rate, Jesus figuratively said forgive 70 times seven.

Ahh, so religion and/or the "finding of Jesus" can in some cases be more of a matter of convenience. I just don't see the difference in initially deeming someone not really sincere in their new found belief when they first declare it versus saying that they're not "real Christians" later on.

It's been my experience that often times the only reason why some claim to be "born again Christians" is because they did something horrible or regrettable and they want to get out of going to jail for example or reduced jail time or some other calamity. It's somewhat like the little boy who's not one bit sorry he stole something but is very sorry that he got caught.

And in many cases "finding Jesus" is somewhat like going to rehab... it seldom sticks or has a permanent effect.

Yes, I'm sure there are many examples of just that.

Not sure why we can't just hold off on judging how true someone is to their espoused beliefs by waiting to see what fruit comes from their life. Like this is a fun one around here, what has come from Trump? Doesn't that speak a lot about what he really believes and what he stands for? If you spout hate, and division, and dissension, usually in your wake will be hate, division, and dissension.

People have claimed a religion, secularism in China for example, amongst a multitude of things to get what they want who knows, what's going on in Kanye's head (if anything). I don't know Kanye West or anything about him.

Should we just assume that all people no matter their world view, or espoused world views are simply using it for what they get out of it? It's probably a fair assumption.

However, you can usually tell by the trail a person leaves behind how closely they hold their values, morals, world-views because they will eventually leave a trail that speaks much louder than their words ever will. It's fair to say, "I question if this dude is sincere", it's also fair to say, "We'll know when it's done how sincere he was".
