AceShowbiz - Kanye West continued to make headlines with his statements in a 2022 interview with Candace Owens. During the sit-down, the Yeezy designer claimed that he considered changing his name to "Christian Billionaire Ye" and that people should call him that.
"My name is Ye. I take it like you're calling Caitlyn [Jenner] 'Bruce.' My name is Ye," the emcee declared. "Also, refer to me as 'Billionaire.' Christian Billionaire Ye."
"Matter of fact, I may legally change my name to 'Christian Billionaire Ye'," the rapper, who shares four kids with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, added. "So you're forced to call me it."
Meanwhile, that wasn't the only shocking comment that Ye made on the unreleased interview. During the sit-down, the "Vultures" rapper admitted he was under the influence when he shared an anti-Semitic tweet in October 2022.
"I was drinking when I put up the DEFCON tweet," the former husband of Kim Kardashian said. "You wanna know what alcohol I had inside me? Hennessy. It turns us gray. The demons [come out]."
Candace later asked the Yeezy designer why he did not disclose that detail prior. To the question, he claimed he didn't want his words "discredited" because he still considered them to be "truth."
Ye additionally talked about Drake and Hov and what makes both rappers so special. "Drake is the best rapper ever by the numbers. Jay-Z is the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration," Ye opined.
