"It's out now," Kanye told Kimmel during the interview. At the time of writing Jesus Is King still hasn't been released, with Kanye tweeting to say that he and his producers are still finishing work on the record.

Speaking to Kimmel about the album, Kanye spoke about his religion and the role his Sunday Services have played in that. "I love that my daughter wants to go to church," he said. "She has such a positive assosciation with going to church because it's outside of the traditional four walls. Now that God has called me and I have given my life to Jesus Christ I work for God."
The Kimmel interview follows Kanye's sit down with Apple Music's Zane Lowe on Thursday. In that interview the rapper revealed plans to release another album on Christmas Day.
