Kanye West Talks Caitlyn Jenner & 'KUWTK' Emmy Chances [WATCH]

Rapper, fashion mogul and pop culture figure Kanye West is known for being outspoken and always pumping up his endeavors. Everyone seems to have an opinion on him as well. With new album Swish far in the distance he talks Caitlyn Jenner's transition and the chances of Keeping Up With The Kardashians Emmy wins in a new interview with SHOWstudio reporter Lou Stoppard this past Tuesday (Oct. 6). The interview largely consisted of questions from both friends, fans and peers about the man himself.

E! reported that when he was asked about Caitlyn Jenner's gender transition he replied, "You know the first thing I did think about is I thought about black radio hosts maybe, possibly, making jokes about it because black culture is generally so homophobic," he said frankly about opinions in the black community.

He had also expressed last April that his wife Kim Kardashian was the most accepting of Jenner's male to female transition, and that he was like "F*ck what people say. F*ck what people think," in the new interview with SHOWstudio as well as saying that, "I just feel so proud to be in a family that has so many people breaking ground for the generations to come."

According to Billboard, he also asserted that "My wife and my family should've had plenty of Emmy's by now," because he believes Keeping Up With the Kardashians to be groundbreaking and informative television.

In the two hour conversation, he also expressed thoughts about being discriminated against in the fashion world for not being gay and ended with "The people that break the stereotypes make history." Trust West to always make a strong statement, in addition to comparing himself to Michelangelo and an earthquake.
