âWe never switched up on each other,â he said. âThatâs what he thanked me for, like, âYo bro, ever since I met you, you ainât never changed up. Even when people was trying to come at my neck or something crazy, it was you still by my side and was fighting for me when everybody was trying to dog me.â
âHe appreciated that and I respect that a million percent. Itâs certain people in this industry, they do a lot of fake shit. But itâs certain people in the industry that do a lot of real shit and I ainât going to lie, a lot of people hate Kanye. You know what I mean?â

He added: âBecause of the way he act or whatever the case may be, they donât get him. They donât understand him, but heâs a good dude. Heâs a respectful dude, and any time he ever came to me, itâs always been love and always been respect. Youâve got to love and respect that.â
âNot to sound crazy â I learned how ill I am,â he told SiriusXM in October. âYou heard the names that you just named. They donât get no bigger.
âAnd these is guys thatâs my friends, my family. I could call them and ask them for anything. [âŚ] So, thatâs how you have Virgil [Abloh] on the cover [of Pray for Paris and And Then You Pray for Me].

âThe âSteve & Jonyâ record thatâs on the album? That idea came from Hov [âŚ] He called me and him that. [âŚ] We was just talking about this album, and he was like, âYo, you should name one of them songs that.ââ
Kanye West and Westside Gunn have a new collaboration on the way called âWhere They Atâ which will appear on French Montanaâs Mac & Cheese 5.
