Meanwhile, West made a bold declaration about his place in musical history during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music Beats 1.He said: “I am unquestionably, undoubtedly the greatest human artist of all time. It’s just a fact.”
West is one of the most successful and influential artists of the 21st century having won 21 Grammy Awards – one more than Bruce Springsteen, but two fewer than Beyonce.
He also claimed that he would one day become leader of the Free World, saying: “There will be a time when I will be the president of the US and I will remember – any founder that didn’t have the capacity to understand culturally what we were doing.”
West, who has previously been criticised for wearing a MAGA (Make America Great Again) cap, also defended Donald Trump – claiming they are both “energy dragons”.
Donda West, 58, died after having cosmetic surgery, with her death having a profound impact on Kanye.
He said: “Some people drown themselves in drugs, and I drown myself in my addiction: sex.”
The musician, who shares four children with his reality TV star wife Kim Kardashian West, reflected on his struggles with his mental health after he was taken to a hospital in Los Angeles in November 2016, reportedly suffering from stress and exhaustion.
He said: “We’re making this money but I’m still ending up in debt.
“My public standing is all in shambles, I’m not in good shape, I’m having ups and downs with my health, people calling me crazy, people not wanting to sit and meet with me, all this is happening and I had to give it all up to God.”
West began his music career as a producer, providing several songs for fellow rapper Jay-Z.
When asked by Lowe if he enjoyed his work more now or then, West replied: “I quite enjoy the sound of my own voice and apparently, by the streams, billions of other people do too.” – skynews.com
