Kanye West‘s Sunday Service Choir will no longer be classified as a charity after they failed to file tax returns on time.
The Chicago rap mogul has not filed a tax return to the IRS for Sunday Service for three years, with the government now stripping the organization of its charity status.
According to the IRS’ website, Sunday Service’s religious tax exemption status was revoked on May 15.
Organizations that are classified as “religious, educational, charitable, scientific, literary, testing for public safety, fostering national or international amateur sports competition, or prevention of cruelty to children or animals organizations” do not have to pay tax on their income.
Kanyee established the Sunday Service Choir in 2019, with the group performing weekly for much of the year and releasing the album Jesus Is Born that December.
The choir was made up of hundreds of singers and instrumentalists including frequent collaborator Tony Williams, Ant Clemons and producer Ray Romulus.
The Sunday Service performances featured an array of special guests including the Clipse, DMX, Chance The Rapper and Justin Bieber, as well as controversial rock star Marilyn Manson who worked with West on 2021’s Donda.
As with most recent Kanye projects, the Sunday Service Choir also brought the Yeezy boss legal trouble as a lawsuit was filed in 2021 accusing him of breaking labor laws and not paying personnel.
