āWe never switched up on each other,ā he said. āThatās what he thanked me for, like, āYo bro, ever since I met you, you aināt never changed up. Even when people was trying to come at my neck or something crazy, it was you still by my side and was fighting for me when everybody was trying to dog me.ā
āHe appreciated that and I respect that a million percent. Itās certain people in this industry, they do a lot of fake shit. But itās certain people in the industry that do a lot of real shit and I aināt going to lie, a lot of people hate Kanye. You know what I mean?ā

He added: āBecause of the way he act or whatever the case may be, they donāt get him. They donāt understand him, but heās a good dude. Heās a respectful dude, and any time he ever came to me, itās always been love and always been respect. Youāve got to love and respect that.ā
āNot to sound crazy ā I learned how ill I am,ā he told SiriusXM in October. āYou heard the names that you just named. They donāt get no bigger.
āAnd these is guys thatās my friends, my family. I could call them and ask them for anything. [ā¦] So, thatās how you have Virgil [Abloh] on the cover [of Pray for Paris and And Then You Pray for Me].

āThe āSteve & Jonyā record thatās on the album? That idea came from Hov [ā¦] He called me and him that. [ā¦] We was just talking about this album, and he was like, āYo, you should name one of them songs that.āā
