I believe a lot of us suffer from a fundamental lack of trust. There have always been phonies in this world. Even the Bible warns against false gods and false prophets. Just seems that these days there are so many of them around. This lack of trustworthiness extends to every profession, every group, every race, creed or ethnicity. We can't trust celebrities. We certainly can't trust politicians. But even worse, we can't even trust our religious leaders.
I really don't know whether West's conversion and reformation are real or not. At this point, his sincerity or lack thereof is between him and his Maker. I'm far more concerned with my own soul than his.
