He's having a baby with the
most photographed woman in the world, whose life is played out on the small
screen. But it seems that Kanye West cannot handle the glare of girlfriend Kim
Kardashian's spotlight, admitting that he won't be returning to her TV show
Keeping Up With The Kardashians because of the 'backlash' his last appearance
generated. Although he accepts the reality show is a big part of Kim's life,
the 36-year-old, who described himself in the New York Times as
the 'Steve Jobs of popular culture', has vowed to protect his unborn daughter
and her mother.
He told the US newspaper:
'This is my baby. This isn't America's baby.'
His emphatic statement of
protective intent came as the star faced allegations on Wednesday that he
cheated on Kim with Canadian model Leyla Ghobadi.
The
rapper spoke about
his brief appearance on the E! show, where he was seen giving Kim advice on her
wardrobe.
'You know, the amount of
backlash I got from it is when I decided to not be on the show anymore,' he
said, admitting that he didn't' like the attention. 'And it's not that I have
an issue with the show; I just have an issue with the amount of backlash that I
get. 'Because I just see like, an amazing person that I'm in love with and
want to help,' he added. When asked if he had any
thoughts on parenthood, Kanye admitted that he felt it was his duty to protect
his girls, especially as they will be under the spotlight. 'One of the things was to
be protective, that I would do anything to protect my child or my child's
mother. As simple as that,' he said.
Clearly worried that his
daughter will face just as much scrutiny as her mother, the Watch The Throne
star admitted that he didn't want his baby to become public property.'Well, I
just don't want to talk to America about my family,' he said. 'Like, this is my
baby. This isn't America's baby.' Kanye also used the New York Times interview
as an opportunity to inform his fans that he only apologised after interrupting
Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009
because of 'peer pressure'. He explained: 'I think that I have like, faltered,
you know, as a human. My message isn’t perfectly defined. I have, as a human
being, fallen to peer pressure.' Meanwhile Kanye has been accused of cheating
on his pregnant other half with glamour model Leyla.
'This is going to destroy
the Kardashian family. It’s bad. It’s really bad. It’s just embarrassing. But
if I were Kim and about to have a baby, I would want to know,' she told Star
magazine. Kanye is said to have first set his sights on curvy model Leyla when
he saw her dancing in the crowd at his show in Atlantic City in July last year.
And while Leyla admits she knew Kanye was with Kim at the time, she said the
36-year-old musician told her the relationship was 'for publicity and nothing
serious'.
Kim's representatives have
said the report is 'not true' while Kanye's spokesman has yet to respond to
MailOnline's request for comment.
