Within the long dialogue, Yeezy talked about everything from his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album to past feud with mega sneaker retailer Nike.

“One of the most memorable things about My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was Nicki Minaj, and the fact that she kicked my ass, on my own song, on one of the best albums…the best album – I’m just saying what the critics said – of the last 25 years. The best album of the past 25 years that I spent a year and a half making, out there. I was exiled from my country, it was a personal exile, but exile. To come back and deliver my magnum opus of a work, and to be outshined…to be beat by a girl, basically.” (Oxford Tab)

Recently, “All Day” producer Velous revealed rapper French Montana originally had possession of the song.

“I made that beat while I was sitting on my boys couch watching ‘Saturday Night Live.’ I usually do everything in the studio, but I did that on a couch with a keyboard on my lap just chilling – I guess Kanye was rocking with it, so he gave it to Kanye. [Montana] doesn’t make beats but he has ideas. He always has ideas for his tracks. Him and Kanye went back and they had some ideas and added some stuff. There’s stuff that I didn’t put in the beat that they added to it. So that’s where the co-production came in. He was definitely involved.” (MTV)

Introduced by his wife Kim Kardashian, Yeezy took over last week’s BRIT Awards in London and performed “All Day.”
