unique relationship with West. "I'm not officially signed, paperwork-wise,
to G.O.O.D. Music. But I have a great rapport with 'Ye," he said.
"I've talked to 'Ye 1,000 times about trying to make this situation work
for the both of us, so it won't feel like anyone is getting used or anything.
I'm in a position in life where I like talking about things like that. I came
from a situation with DTP, being under Luda, where I got a phobia. Sometimes
when an artist signs another artist, they're so worried about themselves. And
with 'Ye, he helps everybody."
