John Legend expressed his disappointment and concern about the disturbing behavior of his former friend and trading partner, Kanye West.

Legend, who noted that West was so “passionate” by his profession, criticized the controversial rapper for pushing “anti-Semitism” and “anti-nozzle”.

John Legend also suggested that things apparently went south for Kanye West since he lost his mother in 2007.

Legend recently shared his reflections on the disturbing puffing of West. In an interview The Times of LondonThe singer described by looking at West’s descent into what he characterized as “anti-Semitism” and “anti-black” as “shocking” and “sad”, before lamenting their past friendship.

“At the time, Kanye was very passionate, very gifted, and he had great dreams not only for himself but also for everyone around him,” recalls Legend. “He had so much optimism, so much creativity. It seems sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now.”

The Hitmaker “All of Me” had a working relationship with West after the rapper signed him to his label of good music in 2004.

Having worked in close collaboration with the father of four, the legend saw the rise and the fall of West. In his new interview, he explained how the rapper helped put his career on the right track.

“Kanye exploded after producing Jay-Z” The Blueprint “in 2001,” said Legend. “Then, he knew a buzz as a solo artist, and all the time I went with him, making shows with him, obtaining an exhibition not only as a singer and keyboardist but also as an artist myself.”

He continued: “I had been refused by labels everywhere. Then,” The College Dropout “sold 400,000 copies during his first week, everyone wanted to know what was going on in our camp, and all these people who refused me suddenly decided that my music sounded much better than the first time.”

They apparently broke the ties after West made his support for Donald Trump in 2022, but the legend said he did not expect things to tank with West as much as they do.

“I have not seen a suspicion of what we see now, his obsessions with anti-Semitism, the anti-black, and it’s sad to see his devolution.” Said the legend.

He added: “I don’t think we are qualified to psychoanalyst him, but after the death of his mother in 2007, there was certainly a difference. His descent started at that time and seems to have accelerated recently.”

West notably launched several anti-Semitic remarks on his social media platform, writing things like “I am Nazi” and saying that Hitler was “so fresh”.

He recently released a new single entitled “Heil Hitler”, with art that looks like a swastika, and also presented the panel on his Yeezy merchant.

During a recent interview With Piers Morgan, West storm halfway through the sit-down just as the broadcaster wanted to ask him why he became “vile” online.

“Update: I interviewed Kanye West again today. As I expected, given what I said about it recently, it did not last long or went well,” Morgan legend a West screenshot from the moment.

“It was him just before trampling like a big baby before he could ask him why he became a vile, who loves Hitler, Nazi and anti-Semitic Pr-“, he added before sharing the images on “Piers Morgan not censored”.
