Grammy-winning rapper Kanye West is feeling brand new. The hip-hop star has alerted fans about changing up his outlook on life – specifically – killing his own planet-sized ego.
Yeezy went to Twitter Thursday (June 14) to share his new state of mind. Mr. West also revealed his desire to always help others had compromised him.

I killed my ego

Who or what is Kanye West with no ego? Just Ye
— ye (@kanyewest) June 14, 2018
this is new for me but it’s just how I feel now. I don’t know why. I thought my ego protected me from doubters so that I wouldn’t doubt myself but there has to be a better way to do this

sometimes I have trouble saying no because I want to help everyone

Coincidentally, Kanye previously talked about no longer having an ego in 2010 in a series of since-deleted tweets.
“I was so honored and overwhelmed by all of the amazing people that came to the Runaway screening last night at the Angelika theatre,” West wrote Thursday (September 16, 2010).
“All positive energy”
“No more ego… all positive energy… new emotion… new visuals… new music…” (Kanye West’s Twitter)
The same year, rap star Nicki Minaj admitted she liked Kanye’s cocky ego.
“Usher, I always liked his, you know, [body] and he’s a great dancer,” Nicki told rap personality Funkmaster Flex. “[laughs] Robin is a very sexy appealing man, whenever I see him, he looks like a doll. [Trey Songz has] a body to die for. If I’m being honest, I’ve never been into the real sexy dude, the dude that do sexy faces and stuff, I don’t even like when girls do that. 50’s cut. [laughs] 50’s cut. 50’s also, big cut. Kanye’s cockyness makes him a ten. That’s the same with 50 too. They’re so over-the-top confident.” (“Full Throttle”)
Earlier in the week, Kanye dished on his love for the recently released Deadpool 2 movie and his low-key love for naps.
