Mobeen Azhar says his quest to learn more about the rapper made him re-evaluate his love of him.
Kanye West's had a rollercoaster year and his fans' opinions of him have shifted up and downThey say "never meet your heroes", but what happens when you make a documentary about them?The journalist has been a huge fan of Kanye West - now known as Ye - since the rapper's debut album The College Dropout which he bought on the day it came out in 2004.
The tech entrepreneur claims Kanye described his comments about Jewish people as "not even a statement that I need to take back because look at all the energy around me right now. Without that statement, I wouldn't become president".Mobeen spoke to people like music producer Malik Yusef who had worked with Kanye on dozens of tracks"Like many people, I have watched his politics shift and his views shift in recent years.
But now, Malik believes Kanye has "thrown himself on the pyre of white nationalism" - the belief that white people are superior to people from all other racial and ethnic groups. And the rapper's new collaborators, according to Mobeen's documentary, are a far cry from those he worked with when he was climbing the hip-hop ladder.
