Kanye West invites James Corden to witness a performance of "Jesus Walks" on the first ever Airpool Karaoke episode.

Fans are used to seeing James Corden team up with musicians from the comfort of his Range Rover, but this time around, Corden is invited onto Kanye West's Sunday Service plane.

The pair discuss his service to God, his marriage to Kim Kardashian, and the time he knew he would be famous.

Speaking about how his mental health issues have tied in with his service to God, Kanye West explains, "God’s always had a plan for me and he wanted to use me, but I think he wanted me to suffer more and people to see my suffering and see my pain and put stigmas on me and have me go through all the human experiences."

He adds, "So now, when I talk about how Jesus saved me, more people can relate to that experience. If it was just, ‘we grew up with this guy and he’s a superstar’, it’s less compelling than this guy who had a mental breakdown and this guy who was in debt."

The first Airpool Karaoke episode arrive hot on the heels of the Chicago rapper's long-awaited JESUS IS KING album, which landed last Friday (25 October).

Yesterday (28 October), it was reported that Kanye West's "Selah" track from his JESUS IS KING album has a very similar chord progression to Legend of Zelda track "Gerudo Valley".

Kanye West's JESUS IS KING album and IMAX film are both out now.
