Kanye West is a newly engaged man, but it turns out he gave several interviews just hours before he popped the big question to his fiancée and baby mama Kim Kardashian. He’s currently on his world tour for his latest album “Yeezus,” and we’re assuming the series of interviews are just a method he’s using to promote his tour. He also felt the need to use the interviews as a medium to explain why he’s been bringing Jesus out on stage during his shows. Hours before he proposed to Kim, he chatted it up with San Francisco radio station 99.7 Now. He talked about numerous topics, but one of the most interesting quotes was his response to people who think he might be crazy. He says:
“My life is philanthropy. When I wake up it’s philanthropy. Everything I’m doing is ‘How can I help others?’ So if you think about the things that I’ve got the most backlash for I was actually trying to help others –maybe in the wrong way, maybe in the wrong time — but really trying to fight for … what I thought was the truth. When people say ‘Kanye’s crazy’ sometimes I’m like, ‘I feel like I’m the only one not crazy, I’m the only one not limited, I’m the only one not afraid. You get to be afraid a little bit, but bravery is not not having fear, it’s overcoming fear.”
He also claims that despite popular belief, he does not do anything to stir controversy or generate publicity:
“I don’t do anything for the sake of controversy. I don’t do anything for the sake of publicity.”
And when it comes to being a celebrity and music artist, Kanye says he’s never going to give people control over him:
“A lot of times people look at celebrities like a video game character or an avatar. And I’m gonna tell you what up with me: My joystick is all the way out the plug. You ain’t controlling this avatar in any way. There’s only one person that walks this earth, or one level of greatness that can control me, and that’s God.”
It’s like he has diarrhea of the mouth.
LOL exactly. Sometimes he talks and it’s just looks like everyone around him is confused.
Yet ANOTHER interview. Kanye has become a full fledged Kardashian now.
This man went from hating the paps to impregnating a pap queen. And wanting to be private to talking way too damn much. What the hell?
I seriously feel Kanye has lost it since his mother passed away. #sad
Bless his heart.
Oh Kanye. I just want you to take a break from giving interviews again.
Any man who not only impregnates Kim but actually proposes to her has to be crazy.
Another day another evil wicked rant!!!
If you feel like you are not crazy and its everybody else why are you trying so hard to convince people you are not. That makes him look more crazy he is an idiot. I truly believe Kanye is a lost man I think he is obsessed with the idea of nobody controlling his life and not living by anybody’s standards but I think its so extreme. I think that is why he is with Kim because everybody says don’t be with her she is no good it makes him want her more because he knows people doesn’t like it. It’s like he thrives on doing the opposite of what people want him to do. Ticking time bomb ladies and gents.
He needs some counseling and a hug. lol
I almost forgot to ask have you heard Pusha T new album? I am not a Pusha T fan so his album wasn’t on my radar but my friend let me hear some songs on his phone and they are good. I haven’t heard the entire album but I am impressed in what I heard. I can’t front Kanye actually did a good job contribution wise to Pusha T album to bad he messed up his own album lol.
No I haven’t but my cousin said it’s good. He likes him but I haven’t listened to him since he was in Clipse. LOL! But he is a very good rapper. Very underrated. I’m going to have to listen to it since you say it’s good too.
He’s such a walking contradiction. It’s so sad.
