John Legend Calls Kanye West's 'Devolution' Sad to Watch

John Legend expresses deep sadness over seeing Kanye West, who he once worked with on music, undergo a significant change. He describes how Kanye used to be enthusiastic and talented but has now become more negative, influenced by his mother's death in 2007. West has faced public criticism for his antisemitic remarks and even singing a song praising Hitler. John notes that West's shift seems to have started after their friendship was strained due to differing political views. He also comments on how Kanye's recent behavior reflects the impact of negative words on people, as evidenced by Siggy Flicker's criticism and John's belief in karma catching up with him.
