Kanye West: Devastated By Rihanna’s Situation

Kanye West: Devastated By Rihanna’s Situation

During his morning KIIS FM show, Kanye West spoke to Ryan Seacret about the altercation between Rihanna and Chris Brown. Here’s what the 31-year-old singer had to say:

“I saw them at Clive’s [the night before]. I know Rihanna a bit better because I went on tour with her and we really vibed out on a lot of creative ideas. With the touring, I gave all these reference of Graces Jones and Jean Paul-Goude. Back in the 80’s when pop stars just took it to a whole ‘nother level. I really feel that Rihannais so important to our culture and pop music. I feel like she is the most important artist in music and has the most potential. Her taste level at her age and the songs she does and her style and her performance and her voice.

“She has the potential to be the biggest artist of all time. In that sense, I feel like that’s my baby sis and I would do anything and everything not help her in any situation. I don’t want to speak too much on it but I was completely devastated by the concept of what I heard to the point that I Was completely devastated during my “American Boy” performance [with Estelle during the Grammys].

“It’s so devastating. As a person, I don’t care how famous she is or if she just worked at McDonald’s, that should never happen. It should never come to that place.”

Finally, a real man has spoken. Riri should have been with Kanye instead of Chris buckteeth Brown anyway.

No man nor woman should either abuse each other…. In any business.. to the women and men out there, there’s ways of getting out of these bad situations , its been taken seriously now for yrs now..

Number 75
“…unless the rumors of her giving him herpes are true. That’s something serious, not as serious as AIDS, but dang near close! I’m not saying that gives Chris the right to hit her, but it’s understandable, because not only did she give him herpes but she cheated on him! ”

—what the heck are you saying? Try a bit of education. Do a simple search and learn about Herpes before you kiss a family member with a cold sore.
Did she give him a cold sore for the grammys? Herpes comes in lots of different varieties and often it is passed in families and not with sex. Learn your STD’s, take a look at Hep C and learn about HIV which most often does not become AiDS. Any human owes this to themselves to be educated & healthy –and use the web to do research before passing along ignorance. If you can post here–do yourself a favor and EDUCATE yourself. Herpes does not imply a cheater nor more than a child born with HIV implies they had sex in the womb. Learn, Educate, Be still and stop the spread of anger and hatred. Use the web to grow and learn and grow smarter
Please do not bite or beat anyone in the process.

He’s so articulate…

What about the delema that Usher is going through right now?
His poor wife!!!

We have not heard the update on her condition, yet.

Rihanna is probably sedated and unable to come forward
with a statement that could very well clear Chris Brown of
all of this mess.

I heard that there were atleast four people in the car, at the time
of the incident.

If their car was followed by bodyguards, and if there was
a car crash, and if there were physical hitting between the two,
wouldn’t you advise Chris not to stand around,
and be photographed being led away in handcuffs??

When their is fighting between a man and a woman,
and even one bruise or redmark,
the man is the one that is taken into custody, right???

If Chris had insisted on staying at the scene,
his own bodyguard might have advised him against it. (IMO)
He would have been seen as the aggressor,
even if he were not, IMO.

(If his keys were snatched, and they were wrestling for them,
and if Chris squeezed her hand, with the keys…that would
likely explain the so called “bite marks on her hand.) (IMO)

I hope that Rihanna clears Chris’ name.
I hope that Chris and Rihanna are both innocent.

I hope that this is a case of gossip that has gotten
out of hand.

Personally, I watched my son, and his brand new girlfriend
“playfighting” with each other. A pinch here, a little slap on the leg
there, a giggle, hair pulling, and a laugh.

I was horrified!!! I had seen that playfulness with my parents.
Oh, we are just having fun!!! (Fun, my ass!!)

I called the girlfriend to the side, and I warned her, most seriously,
that a young lady never, ever plays like that. It is an invitation to a man
to one day have to find it necessary to show you “who the man is.”

Sooner or later that man’s ego will pop up,
and that man will unfortunately show you
that there is no winning against him or his strength,
his temper, his dominance of a woman.

It is “like dancing with the devil.”
It is like getting too close to the flame,
and getting burned beyond recognition…if take to the extreme.

You do not bait men into fights.
It is like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
(IMO)

When a man gets in my face,
I flutter my eyes,
I turn away.

I patiently wait until a better time,
a better mood,
a better place….

and I usually win the battle with tenderness,
intelligent conversation, and appealing
to their better side.

Put very well kanye, thank you.

while i agree whole heartedly with kanye’s last line of this article, i cannot believe that this no-talent pompous self-important horses ass has the balls to shamelessly self-promote himself at a time like this. “She has the potential to be the biggest artist of all time. In that sense, I feel like that’s my baby sis “………… so in that sense, kuntye, you mean that she has the potential but you ARE the biggest artist of all time? what a scumbag.

”the most important artist” ???
Kanye lost all my respect for him with this one.

Thanks to Kanye, you were very thoughtful, and kind. I am very sorry that this happend. She is to blame for this, you let it slide before, so it will continue to happen all the time. Do you remember what he did to you in Barbados, and your vehicle, I hope that you are finished with him.
This type of LUV is blind, not BLOWS, the marks are there to be seen, like the ones on your face. Now you have to get plastic surgery. I think you should make him pay for the surgery, because he did that purposely. He knows that is how you make some of your money.

OMG!!! GREATEST OF ALL TIME PLEASE SHE SOUNDS HORRIBLE LIVE….WITH THAT SAID PEOPLE WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPEN IF HE DID HE SHOULD BE PUNISH BUT FOR ALL WE KNOW SHE COULD BE LYING. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU PEOPLE EVERYBODY IS TAKING THIS LADY SIDE. SHE HAS NOT COMMENT ON ANYTHING NEITHER HAS HE. SHE COULD BE A JEALOUS WOMAN AND OVER REACTED WE DO NOT KNOW….. I CAN NOT WAIT TILL THE WHOLE TRUTH COMES OUT BECAUSE THIS STORY IS GETTING ON MY LAST NERVES CAUSE PEOPLE ARE READY TO TURN ON HIM AND DO NOT EVEN KNOW THE TRUTH. EVEN HIS ENDORSEMENT DEALS. THIS IS STUPID WHAT HAPPEN TO INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY. YOU ARE INNOCENT IN MY EYES TILL THEY KNOW YOU ACTUALLY DID THE CRIME. IF U DID THEN THAT HORRIBLE AND YOU SHOULD GET PUNISHED. BUT WE ARE MANIPULATIVE, VICIOUS WOMEN WHO CAN OVER REACT AND JUST BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN WE KNOW WE CAN GET OUR WAY… SO I WISH HIM THE BEST AND HOPE IF HIS CAREER IS IN JEOPARDY ITS FOR THE TRUTH AND NOT A LIE BUT PEOPLE LETS GET SOME TRUTH B4 WE JUDGE ANYONE

man datz wat she get for being w? my man so wat !! but she gave him STD’S i would beat dat azz 2!! but i hope she fine !!! sike u ****

hes just using this big news to be sensational.
i really hate those person who makes comment without hearing both parties first.

I thought I was the only one that thought Kanye was out of line (or out of his mind) when he said that about her being the the greatest artist of all time. The situation is unfortunate and all, but I was like WTF when I heard those words come out of his simple mouth.

Chris is a big fool for doing this is not fair am not rihanna fans but as a human Chris have to know that they are all stars and he have to think on what people will say about him or her. i hope i have the chance to see him. you know what i will do? am gonna put my gun on his ******* heart.

**** you ******* Chris b
