The Book of Yeezus, which is a nod to West’s sixth studio album, was initially thought by some to be a hoax when it appeared for sale online earlier this month but one of its three authors has confirmed its authenticity. The book recently sparked a firestorm of criticism and one of the authors has spoken out publicly for the first time in an exclusive interview with The Christian Post.
