In a new interview with The Times, the singer reflected on his history with the disgraced rapper, who helped launch his now-illustrious career when he signed Legend to his record label in the early aughts.
“I didn’t see a hint of what we’re seeing now, his obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution,” he said. While he doesn't feel any of us are "qualified to psychoanalyse him," he said "there was definitely a difference" after the personal tragedy. "His descent started then and seems to have accelerated recently.”
Back in the day, Legend toured with the rapper as a vocalist and keyboard player, helping spark an interest in his own music after Ye's The College Dropout sold 400,000 copies in its first week. "...all those people who turned me down suddenly decided that my music sounded a lot better than it did the first time round,” he said of the labels that denied him when he first came knocking.
Today, of course, West, who has since started going by Ye, is rarely out of the headlines for his increasingly controversial actions, from claiming "dominion" over his wife, causing concern for Bianca Censori's well-being among fans, to swiftly swapping out his Yeezy stock for shirts decorated with swastikas after airing his Super Bowl ad—and that's just a taste of what happened this year.
