Kanye West x XXL

Kanye West is featured on the cover of the October issue of XXL Magazine. Next to an exclusive interview, he speaks about the Taylor Swift incident for the first time in public and says:

“I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally. And it definitely wasn’t about race,” Kanye explains. “Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV. The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend,” he adds. “How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

In the special collectors edition, you will find a 40 pages spread of which Kanye himself was the creative director. He also wrote the article about himself. Also featured in this issue, Cudi and the G.O.O.D. Music family.
