10 Misunderstood Facts About Kanye West You Didn’t Know by asapgist1: 3:05pm On Jan 06, 2016


Kanye West is arguably the most outspoken Millennial. He is a creative mastermind among the richest and most powerful of rappers such as Lil Wayne, Eminem, Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z. Millions of people idolize Kanye. However, his reputation is less than stellar.

Some people may perceive Kanye as being a total jerk. The Breakfast Club’s Charlemagne Tha God labeled him a hypocrite. President Barack Obama once referred to the Midwest MC as a jackass. Others may even question Kanye’s ego, but perhaps Kanye is misunderstood.

Beloved and often criticized, this world-famous musician/producer is known for his infamous tirades and marriage to fame extraordinaire, Kim Kardashian.

Amidst the pinnacle of 50 Cent’s bulletproof career, Kanye contributed in shifting the culture of rap’s hard-core wanksta persona to a vulnerable sound with abstract melodies and raw depth. In doing so, Kanye help pave the way for rappers such as Fetty Wap, Young Thug and Future.

Not only is Kanye a multi-talented musician, but he also is a trending fashion designer and rebel of social norms. With his latest album in production, the “Facts” rapper is far from being done. This 21-time Grammy Award winner has compared himself to the likes of Steve Jobs, Nelson Mandela and William Shakespeare.

People scoff at Kanye’s supreme confidence and explicit truths. Other people may grow curious. Nevertheless, check out the 10 most misunderstood facts about rapper Kanye West.

10. Thoughts About Becoming An Adult Film Star




Kanye West’s talent and influence are often glamorized by the masses. Subsequently, his extraordinary success might be envied and ultimately misunderstood.

During his honorary PhD speech, Dr. Kanye admitted to a group of students at The Art Institute of Chicago that dropping out of college was extremely difficult.

While perfecting his artistry, Kanye worked a tedious part-time job, sold instrumentals and crashed at his mom’s place. Overwhelmed with growing pressures and fear, Kanye thought about pursuing other aspirations.

Becoming an adult film star is an aspiration thought of by many and more times than one may think. “That career choice popped into my head once or twice,” admitted Kanye. He then asked, “Which guy doesn’t want that?

Kanye considered being an adult entertainer before his debut album dropped. It ultimately became a hip-hop classic and Kanye is now notoriously praised for being The College Dropout.


9. Thinks George W. Bush Hates Black People



“George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” stated Kanye, accusing former President George Bush of being a racist. He has never been one to be politically correct and seldom does he consider the consequences of his radical protests. This is probably why Kanye has given the world some of the realest moments aired on television.

During a live TV fundraiser for the victims of Hurricane Katrina days after the storm, Kanye disregarded the lines prepared for him. Instead, Kanye delivered a rant about his frustration regarding the racial injustices that African-American victims were faced with.

“I hate the way they portray us in the media,” Kanye said. “If you see a black family, it says they’re looting. If you see a white family, it says they’re looking for food, and you know it’s been five days,” he continued. “Just to imagine I was down there. Those are people down there… They’ve given [authorities] permission to go down and shoot us.” Kanye’s album Late Registration was released and went on to sell 3.5 million copies.


8. Blames Himself For His Mother’s Death




“If I had never moved to LA she’d be alive. I don’t want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears,” Kanye told Q magazine. The death of a mother can break anyone’s heart. Kanye rapped in Young Jeezy’s hit record “Put On”, “I lost the only girl in the world who knew me best.”

In the Jay-Z and Big Sean assisted track “Clique” Kanye raps, “ Went through deep depression when my mother passed. Suicide, what kinda talk is that?” The residue of his mother’s death gave birth to Kanye’s massively influential 808s and Heartbreak album.

Kanye also founded DONDA, a creative content agency named after his mother Donda West. When asked what he feels he’s sacrificed the most to achieve his level of success, West replied, “My mom.” She died of heart disease while suffering “multiple post-operative factors” following cosmetic surgery.

7. Kanye Is The Hopeless Romantic



Hard to believe that behind the straight-faced persona, Kanye is a hopeless romantic. This might explain his passion for mellow auto-tuned raps. He was once engaged to Alexis Phifer. Kanye later became obsessed with “How To Be A Bad B*tch” author, Amber Rose. Kanye said that he, “had to take 20 showers” before moving on from Amber and she fired back, accusing Kanye of using rapper, Travis Scott, as a ghostwriter.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye were longtime friends before dating. Kim is rumored to have helped Kanye grieve from losing a parent. Kim lost her father, former lawyer and friend of O.J. Simpson, Robert Kardashian, to illness. The two stars met when Kim was an assistant for her ex-bestie and millionaire socialite, Paris Hilton. Kanye watched Kim marry and divorce and was lovesick for 9 years before she married the rapper. The power couple has conceived two children named North and Saint West.
