Kanye West takes a lot of flak from the press, and sometimes it's well-deserved.
Kanye's ego is a bigger than his wife's famous backside, and the man
spews some truly mind-boggling word vomit on a regular basis
.
But say what you will about him, Yeezy definitely has a sensitive side. In fact, he sometimes comes off as downright tortured.
No we're not talking about the notorious temper that leads to Kanye beating up paparazzi.
We're talking about the fretful family man and the wounded artist that
sometimes surface in between rants about how much Beck sucks.
Take, for example, West's recent comments about his departed mother.
As you may know, Donda West passed away in 2007 following complications from a plastic surgery procedure.
In an interview with the UK's Q magazine, Kanye says that he blames himself for her death.
"My mother," Kanye said when asked if he had sacrificed anything for
his fame. "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."
Clearly, the death is in no way Kanye's fault, but in the past he's
suggested that he feels responsible for bringing his college professor
mother into the limelight, which in turn (according to Kanye) made her
feel pressured to perfect her appearance.
Kanye memorably paid tribute to Donda with the song " Only One," and he credits her with bringing him the melody and lyrics in a dream.
