The new video from Kanye West comes after he did an extremely controversial interview with DJ Akademiks over the weekend. While speaking with the live streamer, he rocked a black Ku Klux Klan-style robe and hood while discussing Kim Kardashian, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake, among other topics. Of his co-parenting relationship, he noted that he never wanted to have kids with Kardashian. “That was my fault,” West admitted. “I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with her, but that wasn’t God’s plan.” He also argued that Drake is “a million times better” and “a million times more important” than Kendrick Lamar.
