Kanye West has been known to have far-fetched ideas and views, and depending on your music taste, you may or may not agree with his latest one. In Young Thug's cover story for Rolling Out magazine, the eclectic Atlanta rapper talked about his relationship with Yeezy and claims that not only is the music icon like a brother to him, but he's moreso a fan.
Thugger began by detailing how him and 'Ye kept in contact with one another. "[Kanye] didn't have a phone for like three or four years," Young Thug says. "When I first met him, I went to his house and he was like, 'We gotta keep in touch; here's my email.' But he came on tour with Travis Scott and me. [Kanye] said he has a phone now because he has a wife," he recalled.
Thug then made a startling claim that Kanye has compared him to an international superstar and wanted to collab with him for an entire collective. "We [were] backstage at one of the tour dates at the Staples Center in L.A. and Kanye was backstage. He had a Beats Pill and was like, 'I wanna hear all of your music in the world that's not out.' So I was letting him hear all the music. Then he said I was like Bob Marley and he wanted to do an album with me. I was like, 'Let's roll!'" Young Thug exclaimed. "He's a fan."
