Kanye West is bigger than the Pope - and now the overconfident star can actually offer some backing to such a bold claim.
It was John Lennon who quipped that The Beatles had overtaken Jesus, but it's the Famous rapper who has literally outsold the leader of the Catholic Church.
This week, Kanye performed two shows at Madison Square Guard - where Pope Francis spoke himself last year in New York City - and the star has proven himself to be the merchandise king.
According to TMZ, Monday night's show at the venue dubbed 'the world's most famous arena' saw Yeezy pull in $780,000 in merch sales.
This beats the previous record - held by the Pope - by a staggering $240,000.
