John Legend on Kanye West: ‘It Is Sad to See His Devolution’

John Legend opened up about his breakup with Kanye West in a recent interview, sharing insights into how the relationship that once fueled his career now stands to blame for West's decline. The veteran musician described West as once being "passionate, gifted, and ambitious," but noted that after West's support for Donald Trump, their friendship soured and they ultimately fell out in 2022. Legend also hinted that West's mother, Donda West, passed nearly a decade before Trump's presidency may have been a contributing factor to his downward trajectory.
