For the first time ever, the rapper brought his Sunday Service (a weekly invite-only concert-meets-church-service typically held in secret locations) to Coachella for a grand spectacle that only Ye could pull off. If you were paying attention to social media at all on the religious holiday, you probably saw clips of the bizarre performance and famous attendees like Chance the Rapper and DMX, but did you see the wildly expensive merchandise featuring religious words such as Trust God and Jesus Walks?

Yeezus Christ, Kanye.

Countless fans lined up for the love of Yeezy to purchase sweatshirts ranging from $165-$225, T-shirts for $70, and tube socks for a whopping $50. Yes, if you dreamed of adding dirty-brown-used-looking sweats that have that walked 40 days in the desert vibe to your spring wardrobe, youre in luck (#blessed).

Dressing up in your Sunday best usually refers to breaking out the most polished pieces in your wardrobe, but in the Church of Yeezus, its over-priced athleisure wear that you can resell on eBay for triple the price to Wests cult-like followers. No shade to Kanyes religious awakening, but ranking in major dough while preaching reminds us of the Catholic Church selling indulgences in the 16th century-just saying.

If Kanye's Sunday Service merchandise sales are anything like his Life of Pablo or Wyoming merchandise sales, will Yeezy have a church built in his name? Or maybe commission a giant statue for fans to pray to? Who knows, but prayer beads would have been a great addition to his holy concert offerings.

Christ has died, Yeezus has risen, Kanye will most likely continue to shock us again.
