It does feel sad, sometimes shocking, to see where he is now.” He continued, “Then The College Dropout sold 400,000 copies in its first week, everyone wanted to know what was happening in our camp, and all those people who turned me down suddenly decided that my music sounded a lot better than it did the first time round … I didn’t see a hint of what we’re seeing now, his obsessions with antisemitism, anti-blackness, and it is sad to see his devolution.” Legend says he began to see a change in Kanye West’s behavior after his mother died back in 2007.
