“I’m a black guy a red [MAGA] hat, can you imagine?” …It reminded me of how I felt as a black guy before i was famous, when i would walk in a restaurant and people would look at you like you were going to steal something.” “This is your place, Ye, you’re black, so you’re a Democrat.”
“Everything is about putting people in their place. Classism, protectionism-not just racism. Classism is like living on a bookshelf. The more money you have, the higer you go. And you get to the top and look over and what do you see? Fear.”
Kanye West later went on to speak on his best friend Virgil Abloh and his position at Louis Vuitton while also expressing how devasted he when the bottom dropped out unexpectedly on his move to partner up with Louis Vuitton.
The most surprising portion of the interview may not be about Kanye’s affiliation with the President of The United States, but his disdain for the word ambition.
Here’s what Kanye West had to say about the word ambitious as it applies to him:
I do not like the word ambitious. I’m Kanye West. The word ambitious is beneath my abilities. I’m just a doer. You can see in my eyes there’s not one bit of fear.
It’s clear to see that regardless of the criticism and jokes, there is no shortage of confidence for Kanye West who continues to hold steadfast in his support of Donald Trump, as well as compare himself to behemoth legacy brands like Apple and McDonald’s.
