In the viral video, the controversial figure, who was wearing a full face-covering mask and all black, was heard discussing his s3xual preferences and repeatedly stating that he is gay.

He said; “I’m not here to be your idol, I’m the leader. I’m not here to be worshipped. And as a leader I’m saying, how am I supposed to lead y’all if I don’t get my kids with me to continue what we are doing? I ain’t got no mother****ng legacy so why the f**k you think I be s***** at n****? Twigs in charge of my mother****ng legacy, and I’m gay. Twigs in charge of my motherfucking legacy, and I’m gay n****”.
This comes days after Kanye West told those who care to listen that he wished he had kids with media personality and businesswoman Paris Hilton instead of Kim Kardashian.
Kanye West declared during his tirade on Digital Nas’ Twitch stream that he wished he had children with Hilton because he would have achieved far greater success than he did with Kim Kardashian.
