American rapper, Kanye West has added another hat to his appellation and announced the premiere of his new opera production titled “Nebuchadnezzar” on November 24, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.

The ‘Jesus Is King’ artist tweeted art of the production, telling fans that music from his Sunday Service will feature the production. He has discussed ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ with Apple music while promoting his ‘Jesus Is King’ Album and Imax film.

The Opera production directed by Italian Performance artist, Vanessa Beecroft is suggested to have a link with the ancient Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar.

West has depicted that the Babylonian King has inspired him, adding that they both were diagnosed with bipolar disorder. 

“Nebuchadnezzar was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and he was still king,” 

“So not only was I diagnosed with mental illness, but mental illness was something that was used to… wash me out, to control me, West said.

Meanwhile, the 42-year-old announced that he will be collaborating with hit rapper and producer, Dr Dre for his “Jesus Is King II” project.

“I know that God has been calling me for a long time and the devil has been distracting me for a long time. When I was in my lowest points,

God was there with me, sending me visions and inspiring me. I remember sitting in the hospital at UCLA after having a mental breakdown,”

“I was drawin
g a church and writing ‘start a church in the middle of Calabasas’.Even after that I made the Life of Pablo album and said this is a gospel album. I didn’t know how to totally make a gospel album. Christians that were around were too beaten into submission by society to not profess the gospel to me because I was a superstar,The rapper said, while speaking at Evangelist Joel Osteen’s church.
