A couple of days ago, Kanye West’s longtime mentor and collaborator, Malik Yusef, disclosed some revealing information about Ye and “TLOP” during an interview with Drea O. It’s unclear if West was unhappy about the statements made about him, or if Yusef received backlash from the public, but either way, Yusef is now trying to re-word his comments.
Today, Yusef released the following statement, “I understand that some media (not all) will embellish a story in order to create sensationalism and I’m not against that. However, I am against lies, especially when they are used to intentionally hurt, demoralize, discredit character, and intentionally mislead the general public for the purpose of selling a story. I was quoted as saying that I wrote the entire Life of Pablo LP and that’s completely false. When asked about my contribution to the project, I simply stated that I contributed to every song, not that I wrote every song.”
Originally, Yusef said Ye doesn’t take the medicine he was prescribed for bipolar or schizophrenia disorder, but now he has retracted the comment stating, “For the record, Kanye West has never been medically diagnosed as being bipolar or schizophrenic. I wouldn’t change who Kanye is as a person and because people are always making disparaging comments about his behavior, I was simply stating that regardless of what anyone says (including medical professionals), is that Kanye is fine just the way he is and doesn’t need medication. He also doesn’t need to change a single thing about himself. Staying true to his character is what gives him the priceless ability to create art.”
