Kanye West's new album is just around the corner, but it seems the people who worked on it weren't having the best time.
The Jesus Walks rapper, 42, has revealed that he banned his staff from having sex before marriage while they helped created his new material.
He claimed it would help his team be more focused and make the album, called Jesus Is King, a success.
Kanye said he'd been exposed to porn from a young age and was addicted to sex after his mum died in 2007.
Speaking to Zane Lowe for his Apple Music Beats 1 show, Kanye explained: "There were times where I was asking people not to have premarital sex while they were working on the album.”
"There were times where I went to people that were working on other projects and said, can you just work and focus on this? I thought if we could all focus and fast - families who pray together stay together."
His mum Donda died at the age of 58 after undergoing plastic surgery.
Kanye compared his addiction to sex to drug addicts, as he admitted it helped him cope with his grief.
He said: "Some people drown themselves in drugs, and I drown myself in my addiction: sex."
In the same interview he declared that he is "the greatest artist of all time".
Kanye said: "I am unquestionably, undoubtedly the greatest human artist of all time. It's just a fact."
Jesus Is King will be released on Friday.
It is Kanye's first album since the release of Ye in 2018.
He also announced that this Christmas he's releasing a new "Sunday Service album" called Jesus is Born.
