Kanye West Discusses His Demons In Candid Interview

Kanye West is busy promoting his new album “Jesus Is King.”

He has revealed that he has turned to Christ and has also revealed his demons.

The Grammy-winning artist opened up to Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio. He confessed to having an addiction to watching porn began when he found a Playboy magazine at the age of five.

“For me, Playboy was my gateway into full on pornography addiction,” the father of four said candidly. 

“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.'”

West was very close to his mother Donda who tragically died in 2007. 

He said: “I think when people have been addicted to something like, if you ask somebody that’s a drug addict it’s like you say, “Are you still addicted?” 

“You know that Playboy that I found when I was five-years-old was written all over the moment when I was at the MTV awards with the Timberlands, the Balmain jeans, before people were rocking Balmain jeans, and the Hennessy bottle.”

“It’s like that was such a script out of a rockstar’s life. My mom had passed a year before and I said some people drown themselves in drugs. And I drowned myself in my addiction [to sex].”

Kanye’s new spiritual path even led him to request that those who collaborated on his new album to avoid premarital sex.

He said: “I was asking people to… this is gonna be radical what I’m about to say.”

“There were times where I was asking people to not have premarital sex while they were working.”

The 42-year-old rapper is father to North, six, Saint, three, Chicago, 21 months, and Psalm, five months, with his wife Kim Kardashian West.
