The rapper described Kim as his ‘dream girl’ and said ‘Its incredible to have a woman like that, that you know is not using you for money, I have to word it like that. Once you become a multimillionaire there’s a type of woman who goes for that and they’ll put on the whole act.’
He described how their relationship went further than red carpets and trips to Paris, saying: ‘She’s a person that, when I was at my lowest moments I would get on the phone with her and she would make me feel like I was here for a reason and I had something to say and just support me through that…’
The rapper appeared relaxed as he talked about family life, perhaps expressing the influence of his new fiancée: ‘Her personality is so calming.’
Kanye did try and avoid giving away too much though, choosing a restrained approach to the topic. He referenced Tom Cruise’s famous Oprah interview when he said: ‘People make fun of me for how in love I actually am… I’m trying to avoid the jump up on the couch moment.’
When asked about his extravagant proposal, he admitted that people expected him to provide a show for Kim: ‘She thought I was gonna bring Lana Del Rey out. She’s already expecting these types of things… I knew I’d have to turn up more because I think people expect even more from me with every situation, whether its an album, a video, a concert or an engagement. I may have taken it to a completely other level.’
He had little to say about the wedding, only revealing that he wouldn’t hold back on the preparations: ‘It’ll be whatever I imagine. When you have a lot of creativity and a lot of love and passion you just do it and you don’t hold back.’
When the conversation turned to his newborn daughter, North, Kanye was asked if he was more conscious of his controversial song lyrics and provocative music videos now he had a family.
He said: ‘I’m not concerned by the idea of profanity or nudity its more the messaging behind it so she’s gonna be in the real world and hear things, and see things, and she’s gonna be prepared for that.’
