  • The alternative, “Jesus Tok,” will be a Christian-monitored version that West said would be safe for young children 
  • West’s eldest daughter, North, is a fan of TikTok and has a private account

Kanye West has unveiled his plans for a new version of TikTok called "Jesus Tok," and it wasn’t long before the memes started coming in.

On Monday, West took to Twitter to reveal his vision for a Christian alternative to the troubled Chinese-owned app. The rapper said he got the idea for Jesus Tok while browsing TikTok with his daughter.

West claimed that as a Christian father, he was "disturbed" by a lot of the content he saw on the app. However, he said he "loved the technology."

"We pray we can collaborate with TikTok to make a Christian monitored version that feels safe for young children and the world," West said in a follow-up tweet.

Netizens soon came out with a host of amusing ideas for the content that could be featured on West's Jesus Tok.

West’s eldest, North, is a fan of the short video content app and already has a private TikTok account, Kim Kardashian told Entertainment Tonight in February.

"North has a private TikTok account, so we do lots of TikToks together, and she puts them in drafts," North's mom said. "She's not allowed to post them, but we have a lot of TikToks."

West is currently running for president and said last month that he was considering Jay-Z, Jade Simmons and Michelle Tidball for his second-in-command.

During his appearance on Kris Kraylin’s radio show on July 19, West said that he hasn't spoken to Jay-Z in a while, but his fellow rapper was his "favorite candidate" for the role.

"I reached out to Jay to possibly be my vice president, my running mate," said West, adding that he was inspired to seek out Jay-Z after realizing that the initials of his real name, Sean Carter, were the same as South Carolina, where West hosted his first rally.

"I look at the codes, I look at the signs," the rapper continued. "The fact that we ain’t talked in so long, that’s how you know we real brothers."

Meanwhile, West's erratic behavior following the announcement of his presidential bid has sparked concerns about his well-being.

During his speech at a campaign rally in South Carolina last month, the rapper, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, started to cry while speaking about his mother and abortion.

The following day, West went on a Twitter rant, claiming that his wife had attempted to "lock" him up. He also said that his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner, was "not allowed around" his four children.

West later apologized to his family for his actions.
