Kanye West feels hurt.

During an appearance on the Tucker Carlson Tonight Show on Fox News for his sit-down interview, Kanye West, now known as Ye, shared how he feels when people call him crazy.

Kanye West said that people keep on using the phrase "oh he is crazy," vaguely adding that it hurts his feelings when people say "hey, are you okay? During the interview, Kanye West also mentioned that he is not willing to compromise with Kim Kardashian when it comes to his children’s education, as he has made it very clear that he would like them to attend a private school, "Donda Academy," which is named after his mother.

Kanye said that all the celebrity kids are taken and thrown into the same school, Sierra Canyon, and added that right now he and Kim have come to a compromise, but he is not finished because he does not compromise, but right now they have compromised that the kids will be attending his school after their school and will be learning choir. He also shared that his kids are going to a school that teaches Black kids a complicated Kwanzaa and they do not teach even Christmas itself.

The rapper also stated that he and his youngest son, Psalm, are already at odds over him attending choir practice at Donda Academy. Ye explained that he was sitting with his youngest Pslam and asked him why he had to sing when he doesn't even go to his school, which made Ye think about Pslam's 16-year-old version of the guy or 26-year-old version of the guy, where the father has no say in what the kids watch, what they wear, what they eat, or who they hang out with.

Ye said that Kim Kardashian is like a hybrid adding she is not just Marilyn Monroe and mentioned that she is also a fashion person, mother, an activist, a lawyer and multi-billionaire. The former husband of the beauty mogul appreciated her and said that she is one of the most beautiful people of all time and addressed that when people or he reads a headline stating that Kim says that she is going to stay single forever, it is indoctrination. Ye explained that the media wants this person (here Kim) to tell all the little girls out there that they need to stay single forever. Kanye also shared with Tucker Carlson that media shamed him for getting a house next to Kim Kardashian because he wanted to stay close to the kids and also assumed that he was stalking his ex-wife and her then boyfriend Pete Davidson. 

Kanye West’s comments come just a few days after Khloe Kardashian commented on his post asking him to stop tearing down his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, on social media, adding that he is always aware of where his kids are and she would like to continue the conversation in private if Kanye wants to. Khloe also stated that her comments are motivated by love and concern rather than hatred. Khloe commented on the post after Kanye once again accused the Kardashians of keeping him away from his daughter Chicago West’s birthday party, for which the rapper had already blasted the family.

Khloe in her comment clarified that it was he who wanted separate birthday parties for his daughter, and when he decided to not do that, he was invited to the party that Kim Kardashian threw for her. Kanye West reacted by posting a screenshot of Khloe's comment and calling her a "liar" in a since-deleted post. He mentioned that he should be able to see his children 100% of the time but because of the separation he understands that it will be 50%. 

Part one of the rapper's interview with Tucker Carlson saw him double down on his White Lives Matter clothing, which Ye debuted at his recent Yeezy Season 9 show during Paris Fashion Week and pretty much sparked a controversy. Kanye West explained that he does certain things from a feeling and simply channels the energy when asked about his creative choices. The rapper stated that he just feels right and that he is doing so through gut instinct, a connection with God, and sheer brilliance.

The rapper was also asked about right-wing Candance Owens wearing his 'White Lives Matter t-shirt and sharing a photo with him, to which he replied that his father who he described as an educated ex-Black Panther, human being who sent him a text saying, 'White Lives Matter with laughing symbols'. Kanye  added that his father had responded to him saying he thought the shirt was funny and thought the idea of him wearing it was funny. And he stated that he asked his father why he thought it was funny.

Kanye responded that his father's response to him was that he was "just a black man stating the obvious," and that it was his favorite response because he explained that folks are looking for an explanation, and people say that well, as an artist, they don't have to explain, but as a leader, they do. Kanye concluded by stating that he wrote White Lives Matter on a shirt because they do. It's the logical thing to do.

"White Lives Matter" has been labeled as a "white supremacist phrase" by the Anti-Defamation League after it emerged in 2015, following the start of the Black Lives Matter movement. According to the organization's website, members of the Aryan Renaissance Society and other white supremacists, including the Ku Klux Klan, have promoted the slogan.
