Madonna News: 'Rebel Heart' Singer has Some Advice for Rapper Kanye West
Famous pop star and veteran Madonna recently shared her thoughts on singer Kanye West's recent meltdown at yet another award show interrupting Beck as he accepted an award. Fortunately, Madonna had some advice for West.
In her interview with the Rolling Stones, Madonna gave her advice for West, who she previously worked with. "Don't go to awards shows looking for justice," Madonna told Rolling Stone for their new cover story. "That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Just go and have fun. I never got too engaged with who wins awards or not, because I don't honestly think it's that important. So that part of him I can't relate to. Like, what's the point of fighting for somebody to ... like, 'This person should have got it?'... I think sometimes he takes things too seriously," she added.
But of course, despite her comment teaching West not to do what he did at his last meltdown again, Madonna still believes in West's creative mind. "It's really hard to describe Kanye in one sentence, so I may have to use several," she said adding, "He's a brilliant madman. He can't help himself. Like, he doesn't have the same filters other people have. He has to blurt things out - he's always saying inappropriate stuff. But he also has brilliant ideas, if you can get him to pay attention long enough, working with him in the studio.
Madonna also described how she closely worked with West. "He would come and go. He would drive me bonkers, because he's got so many things going on in his life. And this seemed to be the theme of my record, working with people who can't get off their phone, can't stop tweeting, can't focus and finish a song. It drove me crazy. But when they did pay attention, it was brilliant."
Madonna also said that despite West's negative side, the music business is still in need of such a brilliant artist like West. "I was, like, running around with a butterfly net. But I feel like the music business needs him, because everyone's become so politically correct, so safe. I don't always agree with the things he says or does - I don't always like his music, even. But he's a beautiful mess. I love him," she continued.
