The born again Chris performed the story of the birth of Jesus Christ last night and he was covered in the silver painting all through the production. Kanye had premiered his new opera, dubbed “Mary”, a production 

Kanye dedicated the performance to honour Jesus’s virgin mother in Art Basel in Miami.

The play portrayed the Nativity story, in which Mary miraculously became pregnant and gave birth to Jesus in Bethlehem, welcoming royal visitors from distant lands for the occasion.
