Kanye West has reportedly continued his relationship with embattled rocker Marilyn Manson by inviting him to one of his Sunday Services on October 31. The 52-year-old heavy medalist who boasts the title of an honorary priest in the Church of Satan was seen in all-white snuggling up with the controversial rapper and devoutly religious Justin Bieber.
Manson made his first public outing since his s**ual assault lawsuit in late August as he stood with West at his Donda listening event at Soldier Field and is featured on the track Jail Pt. 2. Manson whose real name is Brian Warner was seen in videos and photos donned from head to toe in all white complete with a hood and face covering that showed only his beady eyes. West who legally changed his name to Ye looked casual in a white tracksuit along with Bieber who led the trio in a prayer circle while a gospel choir sang in the back.
Although, Manson had been very open about his involvement with the Church Of Satan, making his appearance alongside the two religious crooners at a Christian gathering a bit shocking. During Bieber’s prayer said in the excerpt, “We cast out any demonic negativity that would try and steal our peace today or steal our joy,” and finished within the name of Jesus.”
Inviting Manson to the religious gathering made the event more controversial. The artist has three active lawsuits against him in relation to accusations of s**ual, psychological and physical abuse from over 15 different women. Meanwhile, the fourth lawsuit filed against him in May was dismissed by a judge in mid-September as the court ruled the statute of limitations had passed on the woman’s claims.
However, this is not the first time that Kanye has faced backlash for inviting Manson to one of his events. Earlier, the rapper called Marilyn at the listening party for his new album Donda at Soldier Field in Chicago in August as well. Moreover, Manson also received co-writing credits on Kanye’s album for the songs Jail and Jail Pt. 2.
