Video After The JumpKanye West was a guest on the Ellen Degeneres Show today.
Ye' talked about the aftermath that followed the Taylor SwiftVMA incident.
"Just for your whole world to completely crash, off of a moment of sincerity, alcohol or whatever it is." That comment made both Kanye and the audience laugh.
Ellen joked, "those don't really go together, usually the alcohol rules out the sincerity part."
He told Ellen he stopped recording music after the incident, moved to Japan to escape the paparazzi, before moving to Rome to clear his head. He explained that he hadn't had time to grieve his mom's passing and hadn't taken a break since he became successful.
After Rome, he moved to Hawaii and started recording his new album.
As far as crashing an award show's stage again, Ye said that will never happen.
"I feel in some ways like I'm a soldier of culture," Kanye said. "And I realize no one wants thatto be my job, and I'll never go on stage again. I'll never sit in an awards show again. But will I feel convicted about things that really meant stuff to culture, that constantly get ignored for years? I'm sorry I will. I cannot lie about it in order to sell records"
Before leaving, Ellen wanted to know what was up with Kanye's new diamond teeth.
"You took out your whole [bottom] row of teeth and put in that?" she asked.
"I just thought the diamonds were cooler," he told her.
