Kanye West admits it 'hurts my feelings when people assume I'm crazy' amid backlash

Kanye West explained how it 'hurts' his feelings when people think he's 'crazy'.

The rapper, 45, is now known for his constant outbursts and rants on his social media page.

Kanye recently took his anger out on Vogue fashion editor Gabriella Karefa Johnson when she criticised his Paris Fashion Week show, which had him don a 'White Lives Matter' shirt.

After receiving backlash, he went on to reignite his feud with the Kardashian family.

He recently sat down with Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight and talked about how he feels about the 'crazy' comments.

"They keep on using the 'Oh he's crazy, he's crazy' thing. And it hurts my feelings when people say that," Ye said.

"It hurts my feelings that people can ask, 'Hey, are you okay?'"

During the same interview, he talked about the criticism he received for supporting Donald Trump when he was president.

The rapper said that due to receiving so much backlash he was left feeling like he wasn't able to talk about it anymore.

The dad-of-four said it 'drove him crazy' to not be able to talk about the controversial businessman turned president.

He was also surprised at the criticism he received due to his celebrity status.

Kanye told Tucker it 'drove me crazy not to be able to say I liked Trump'.

He then talked about what the point was of working so hard to become so well known and famous if he couldn't voice his own opinions.

Kanye said he respects Russell Brand and Candace Owens for speaking their minds no matter what backlash they got.

Earlier this week, Kanye was under fire for the 'White Lives Matter' top - which Candace Owens also wore - at the surprise Yeezy show.

On the back of the shirt 'White Lives Matter' was written in bold white letters, which was a response to the Black Lives Matter moment.

The Anti-Defamation League has previously called the phrase 'White Lives Matter' a hate slogan.

People were outraged by his show, with Gabriella saying: "It didn't land and it was deeply offensive, violent, and dangerous."

Fans also took to social media to call him out on the offensive T-shirts.
