Joel Osteen and Kanye West

In an interview with Allison Kugel, Osteen was asked about his relationship with Kanye West and how it started. Osteen said”It started with a text from a friend of mine saying, “Kanye West wants to talk with you.” I then got a text one day from (Kanye)that said, “Can we talk?” I called and we talked for an hour or two that first day.

It started from his journey of faith, this new twist that he’s taken. During that first conversation, he told me his background and what he was all about. My next question to him was, “What do you need from us?” He said, “I don’t need anything. I was just looking for friendship.” And so, it started off as a friendship, and I was very impressed with him.

He didn’t call to come to the church, and he didn’t really need anything from me. I found him to be very genuine and very respectful over the last six or eight months. He’s just a very genuine, respectful, kind, quiet person. Not the Kanye that you see out there.

Joel Osteen Car
