The best way to receive a blessing is to bless someone else, right?
Kanye West is a man of faith, and he’s also eccentric, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that his pastor, Rich Wilkerson Jr., is a hipster type who’ll preach in a bar if he has to.
During a recent New York Post feature, Wilkerson revealed that Kanye blessed him with a pair of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 sneakers.
Just now, Wilkerson’s walking in Kanye West’s $200 sneakers, a gift from the rapper. (“The other stuff I can’t really afford yet,” says Wilkerson, who drives an Audi. “Maybe he’ll be gracious and give me a shirt or something.”)Wilkerson Jr. may even have Ye on his new reality show, "Rich in Faith," premiering December 9 on Oxygen.
The handsome pastor and Kanye hit it off when Yeezy showed up to hear Wilkerson’s sermon a few years ago in Florida.
“We became friends,” says Wilkerson. “He’s a guy who’s taking big risks and he’s a guy who tries to follow his convictions, and there’s a lot there to admire.”
Wilkerson even asked Kanye to design the cover for his book of faith, “Sandcastle Kings.”
