It’s been happening for a while now, but Kanye West seems to lose more high-profile supporters with each passing day. It’s no surprise given that he refuses to stay quiet, constantly spewing hateful nonsense on the Internet. His hurtful rants have alienated him from his children, as Kim Kardashian isn’t willing to expose them to his behavior.
While West still has fans, public figures no longer want to align themselves with him. One of those people is his former colleague, John Legend. He recently spoke about West in an interview with The Sunday Times and gave his thoughts on the situation. In the interview, Legend outlined how West helped him early in his career. Back then, there were no traces of the current Kanye.

He had so much optimism, so much creativity. It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now… I didn’t see a hint of what we’re seeing now, his obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution. I don’t think we’re qualified to psychoanalyse him, but after his mother passed in 2007 there was definitely a difference. His descent started then and seems to have accelerated recently.

Back in 2004, when West founded his record label GOOD Music, Legend became the first artist to sign with the label – along with Common. Legend knew West since 2001, and the two ended up having a long professional relationship, before he left GOOD Music in 2016. West had met Legend through record producer and songwriter Devo Harris. Legend then began co-writing and delivering hooks for West.
Legend released six albums under GOOD Music before signing with Columbia Records. West helped Legend become who he is today, but there comes a certain point where gratitude isn’t enough to excuse such erratic behavior.

Travis Kelce drops bombshell, and fans can’t believe it: they’re begging for a comeback
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, has caused a stir among fans with his latest announcement: the cancellation of his annual Kelce Jam music festival for 2025. The disappointing news, shared on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason Kelce, marks the first time the event won't take place since its inception in 2023. The festival, known for bringing big-name artists like Lil Wayne and Diplo to Kansas City, had become a fan-favorite tradition, making the decision a tough pill to swallow for many.

Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Two teams looking to put losing streaks to bed will square off in a mid-week match on Wednesday night when Austin FC hosts Atlanta United. Austin (5-6-1, 16 points) has dropped three straight entering play and has mustered just one goal over the winless stretch. Last time out, the club fell 2-1 at Cincinnati FC. Under first-year head coach Nico Estevez, Austin has struggled mightily on the offensive end, as the team has totaled only eight goals on the season and is tied with the LA Galaxy for second fewest in MLS. CF Montreal has scored six goals. "I've told everyone from the beginning, we're still in […]

While New York City (5-5-2, 17 points) became the first MLS team this year to lose to last-place CF Montreal, falling 1-0 at home, D.C. United (3-6-3, 12 points) was listless in a 2-0 loss at Toronto FC, which […]
