Meyers has joked about West during his time as a Saturday Night Live cast member. “Kanye West reportedly asked Kim Kardashian for her brand in marriage,” he once said on the program, as per Saturday Night Live’stumblr page.
In 2010, West dissed the Saturday Night Live cast members on “Power.” “Fuck SNL and the whole cast,” West raps on the track. “Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass / More specifically, they can kiss my asshole / I’m an asshole? You niggas got jokes.” West changed the lyrics to the song when he performed the selection on the program. To view the variation to “Power’s” lyrics, click here.

“The mask is great,” West said. “It’s freeing. A place where you can express yourself to your audience without being judged, without having to live up to whatever you represent, whatever your name means or doesn’t mean.”
He also expanded on his passion for a variety of creative endeavors, his daughter North West and his appreciation for being interviewed.
