John Legend Says It's Sad To See Where Kanye Is At Now

John Legend is just as disappointed as many folks are in Kanye West. He says it is sad to see where YE is at now.





The award winning crooner recently conducted an interview with The Times. During the Q&A John Legend detailed his early beginnings, start in the music industry, his high profile marriage and more. When discussing his life he makes it clear that the celebrity has not changed him. "I just dropped my kids off at school," he says. "It's not difficult because it's all me. I'm being my full self in the different facets of my life. I'm not playing a character, and that makes it easier."

John Legend also reflected back on his debut album Get Lifted. "I was thinking about Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Al Green, but also my collaborators in Hip-Hop, then fusing it all with my roots in gospel," he explains. "So much of that album was about my heritage." Of course the British newspaper asked him about Kanye West to which he admitted that he is just confused as everyone else when it comes to the rapper's recent bizarre antics. 

"Back then Kanye was very passionate, very gifted, and he had big dreams not only for himself but also for all the people around him," John Legend remembered. "He had so much optimism, so much creativity. It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now." While he doesn't know for sure what caused Kanye's drastic change he does think it is connected to losing one of the most important people in his life. "I don't think we're qualified to psychoanalyse him, but after his mother passed in 2007 there was definitely a difference. His descent started then and seems to have accelerated recently."
