I have seen just some snippets of his Sunday services. They did stop to speak about some things. Next time will watch with a careful eye. Kanye put out the message that he would be criticized for not being a real Christian, and that either was true, or was meant to disarm. I am not sure yet. Tbh, I don't care much about it because I'm not "in it", but, it's good to know the perspectives and I'll be mindful of what we hear from anyone. We are suposed to judge what we hear by the Word before taking it in. I'm not sure I yet understand what the point of having a worship service without a sermon would be, it's not a rule that they must always accompany each other, I assumed these people would also be going to chuch in addition to this. That would be sensible and line up with what I have experienced, but maybe the point would be to make this the only thing they do? I don't know. Can you praise the name of Jesus and have it be evil? That is an interesting question. I suppose it's a matter of the heart - but boy, would they be inviting their own destruction by doing this deceitfully - so to that I say that God wil surely deal with them. His first album after conversion seemed very genuine. The second one did not seem focussed on Christianity much, had cursing, etc. I'm not trying to judge Kanye's salvation, just the message he is putting forth. And, he has been selling his whole life - it could either be that he is just doing what he does still and didn't see anything wrong with it (there might not be anything wrong with it), or it could be as you said - also unsure about this part. Time will tell. I would have to look at the plans of the gnostics to do this, to see what you see perhaps.
