John Legend has clarified the reason why he is no longer close friends with Kanye West.During an interview last month, Legend – who has collaborated with West on numerous occasions in the past – explained that the pair’s political divisions proved to be too much to maintain their friendship.He told The Axe Files podcast: “[Kanye and I] aren’t friends as much as we used to be. I honestly think because we publicly disagreed on his running for office, his supporting Trump, I think it became too much for us to sustain our friendship, honestly.”Speaking to the New Yorker, Legend has now talked about how many media outlets had “mischaracterised” his comments by focussing on former POTUS Trump as the main reason for their fallout.“Yeah, what it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported Trump, which was a mischaracterisation of what I said,” he told the NY.

Kanye West has claimed that he is not the author behind one of his recent social media posts about his estranged wife Kim Kardashian. Having returned back to Instagram during the last few weeks, Kanye has taken shots and a number of people including Kim’s ex Pete Davidson.

Kanye West has returned to Instagram to make a handful of accusations aimed at clothing company Gap, who the rapper has a collaborative deal with via his own Yeezy brand.On Tuesday (August 30), West posted a photo of what appear to be some fluorescent Yeezy Gap sunglasses, alongside a caption that read: “Gap held a meeting about me without me?” Later that day, he posted a screenshot of a text message exchange in which he shares a photo of a model in a Gap t-shirt and accuses the company of stealing one of his designs.“This is Gap copying YGEBB,” West wrote, referencing the Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga collaboration. He captioned the post, “But they canceled the photo shoot with my kids in Japan without me knowing.”Shortly after that, West shared a video in which he addresses a group of people, possibly members of the Gap company.

Daniel Johns has spoken about his reverence for Kanye West, saying he connected with the controversial rap icon during a particularly turbulent period of his adult life.In a 2008 interview with Quincy Harris (aka Qdeezy), West cited Silverchair – the band Johns fronted from 1992 to 2011, and rose to fame with in his teens – as a notable influence on that year’s ‘808s & Heartbreak’ album.Noting the importance of creative evolution, West said during that interview: “It’s good to challenge yourself, put yourself in a situation where you’re not the king of your castle – go to a completely different arena and say, ‘Man, I want to go up against Silverchair!’”The interview was mentioned in the second episode of Johns’ new docuseries, Inside The Mind Of Daniel Johns, when host Megan Holiday brought up Silverchair’s performance at the West-headlined Lollapalooza 2008. On his reaction to seeing West cite Silverchair as an influence, Johns expressed a feeling of shock: “I still don’t believe it, even though people have shown me,” he said with an emphatic smile.

The pair spoke about how Dean is often recruited to recording sessions so he can “Mike Dean it up”, with Beyoncé being a key example of an artist who seeks the producer out for his idiosyncratic style.Dean explained that he’s not concerned with how much of that style an artist will opt of keep on a record’s final mix, saying: “They can take all that, or 50 per cent of it, or 80 per cent of it… I’ve got real thick skin, so it doesn’t bother me – it’s like, you know, whatever they like of what I did, they can use.”Agreeing with Rodgers’ notion that you can’t be “passionate about your part” as a producer, Dean continued: “Exactly – or you’d get your feelings hurt, like, every day.
