It’s always been known that West doesn’t care about what people think about him. Recently though, his words have been focused on the ability to think freely without persecution. Kanye even posted a picture of a conversation with John Legend in which he texted the singer “You bringing up my fans or my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought”. He later tweeted that “I respect everyone’s opinion but I stand my ground”. West also announced that he no longer has a manager, and strictly runs himself. The rap legend says what he wants, and will not bow down to anyone.
