Following the news that Kanye West’s Yeezus cut “Bound 2” was being made into a children’s book titled “Bound 2Gether,” a new list has been created by XXL highlighting ten of the weird and wonderful items inspired by the iconic Chicago rapper.
“Kanye West has undoubtedly reached icon status and with the territory comes a number of odd creations,” the article says. “In Kanye’s case, those creations consist of everything from the formation of the Yeezianity religion to the manifestation of a digital currency called Coinye.”
Among the items listed is the 2014 phenomenon, Coinye.

“In early 2014, a digital currency company crafted gold cyber coins featuring a cartoon Kanye West image, dubbing the currency, Coinye. Despite cease and desist letters, the company attempted to launch but Kanye soon filed suit, stopping the company from using his name.”
Also listed was Yeezianity, the religion created in honor of Yeezy himself.
“Calling the religion Yeezianity and the church, The Church of Yeezus, Brian Liebman and an unidentified group of individuals established themselves in January of 2014,” the article says. “Ideally, Liebaman, who goes by the name BMAN, faced a ton of backlash and was forced to provide the public with some form of understanding. He clarified explaining that he and his followers were not in fact, directly comparing Kanye to Jesus.”
