Kanye West has begun promotion for his new album Jesus is King with some bold claims, even going by Kanye standards.

Over a two-hour interview with ex-pat broadcaster Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 radio show West spoke about finding God, his beef with superstar rapper Drake, his presidential ambitions and made time to give a modest review of his musical talent.

West also revealed that he will release a new 'Sunday Service' project on Christmas Day, titled Jesus is Born. It will certainly need to be the second coming to knock Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas album off our stereo on Christmas morning...
