Montell Jordan Says He Believes Kanye is a True Christian Now

Montell Jordan says he sees Kanye West walking the walk when it comes to declaring his Christian faith — which is enough for him to believe what’s in Ye’s heart … aka, Jesus.

The former R&B singer turned minister spoke to us in NYC about Ye’s spiritual journey, and while some have questioned Kanye’s motives and sincerity in turning to God … Montell says he’s taking the guy at his word (and his actions) that he’s embraced Christ as his savior.

He’s got a pretty good reason for that too — noting that there’s no true way to know what’s in Ye’s heart. But, based on outward appearances, it sounds like Montell’s convinced.

Of course, Kanye’s been on a performance tear lately … going around the country with his choir collective and doing Sunday Services. He even brought it to Joel Osteen‘s church. He has also been fairly outspoken about declaring his love and devotion for God and JC.

Still, many have remained speculative as to whether Ye’s a true blue religious guy — considering his background … and all the ups and downs that have come with it.

MJ touches on that too, explaining that society often judges people (especially artists) on their immediate past, despite what that person may be putting out now. He definitely knows a thing or two about it — once upon a time, Montell was a walking one-man party.
