AceShowbiz - Kanye West opened up on his porn addiction. In a recent chat with Zane Lowe for Apple Music Beats 1, the father of four revealed that he started getting addicted to porn after discovering Playboy magazine at the tender age of 5.
"For me, Playboy was my gateway into full on pornography addiction," the rapper husband of Kim Kardashian remembered. "My dad had a Playboy left out at age five and it's affected almost every choice I made for the rest of my life."
"From age five til now, having to kick the habit and it just presents itself in the open like it's OK and I stand up and say, 'No, it's not ok,' " the 42-year-old rhymer added. "With God I've been able to beat things that had a full control of me."
The hip hop star also talked about his sex addiction, claiming that it began in 2007 while he was struggling to cope with the death of his mother. "Some people drown themselves in drugs. And I drowned myself in my addiction [to sex]," so he explained.
Kanye West became a born-again Christian over the summer after almost quitting his career because he believed rap was the devil's music. He is now finishing his first Gospel album "Jesus Is King" and has traveled across the country for weekly religious gatherings in anticipation of the album release.
He also toned down his wild lifestyle, asking people not to have premarital sex while they were working on his new album. He was also uncomfortable with his wife's sexy look, claiming that her silicon form-fitting nude-colored dress at the Met Gala was much too raunchy.
