Kanye West faced the court
of opinion following that controversial TMZ interview where he stated that he
thought 400 years of slavery sounded like a choice, among other things to say
the least.
Not to mention his public
support of Donald Trump.
He got such negative press
from the whole ordeal that he was admittedly nervous Kim Kardashian West would
leave his ass after the public turned their backs to him!
In an extended interview
for the New York Times, the father of three opened up about his love of Trump
and how he felt about the backlash he received for expressing it.
After clarifying that he
said slavery *"sounds"* like a choice (as opposed to objectively
being a choice, we guess?), the 41-year-old artist revealed he had moments of
insecurity:
"There was a moment
where I felt like after TMZ, maybe a week after that, I felt like the energy
levels were low. And I called different family members and was asking, you
know, ‘Was Kim thinking about leaving me after TMZ?' So that was a real
conversation."
As for his support of
Trump, Kanye said he's not the only celebrity who supports the nutcase, he's
just the only one brave enough to say so:
"There were people who
said Trump would never win. I'm talking about the it-will-never-happens of the
world, people in high school told you things would never happen. I felt that I
knew people who voted for Trump that were celebrities that were scared to say
that they liked him. But they told me, and I liked him, and I'm not scared to
say what I like."
He went on to say he likes
Trump, but not all of his policies:
"I hear Trump talk and
I'm like, I like the way it sounds, knowing that there's people who like me
that don't like the way it sounds … [But] No, I don't agree with all of his
policies."
When it's the president
we're talking about, picking one is picking all of them, bb!
