John Legend Discusses Why He Broke Up With Kanye West

John Legend and Kanye West are Long-time friends. They once worked together, most notably on the song “Blame Game” from Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Their relationship has soured as a result of recent disagreements. In a recent interview, Legend added additional detail to his previous remarks regarding his former friendship with Kanye, who he has been quite open about in private.

According to legend, their deteriorating relationship was a result of more than simply their opposing political views. The soul singer claimed that his conflicts with Kanye went beyond politics in an interview with the New Yorker published this past weekend.

Kanye backed Trump and then his own ticket in 2020, whereas John Legend was a staunch backer of Joe Biden. The “All of Me” singer admitted that while this didn’t improve their friendship, the political disagreements itself were the icing on the cake.

“I don’t feel like politics should be everything in your relationships, and your relationships with people shouldn’t only be determined by who they voted for,” Legend told the New Yorker. “But I do believe that certain things you believe in are indicators of your character, and obviously that will affect your friendships.”

He continued, “I don’t want to live a life where politics is the only factor that determines who can be my friend and who can’t. “”But values matter and character matters and moral compass matters.”

Legend continued by claiming that West viewed his decision not to back his own presidential candidacy as a betrayal. He added that if Ye wanted, he would be ready to keep their friendship intact.
