That \u201cmuch more\u201d includes interesting commentary about the fallout of his friendship with\u00a0<strong>Kanye West<\/strong>, too.<\/p>\n<p>The singer sat down with the\u00a0<em>New Yorker<\/em> for a brand-new longform interview published on Sunday. During the chat, the popular performer covers lots of ground regarding Kanye\u2019s politics and the major rift that has come about between the two stars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: John Praises Chrissy\u2019s Powerful Decision To Publicly Share Pregnancy Loss<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For one, Legend disputed the supposed claim he and Ye first stopped being friends after the\u00a0<em>Hurricane<\/em> r<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>er threw his political support behind\u00a0<strong>Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2018s presidency. The proud father said that was actually not the case. Instead, their feud grew once Legend declined to personally support the rapper\u2019s presidential aspirations.<\/p>\n<p>John told the mag:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhat it got described as was, we stopped being friends because he supported Trump, which was a mischaracterization of what I said. That was kind of the Rupert Murdoch version of the story \u2014 it was all over the <em>New York Post<\/em> and <em>Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a><\/em>. What I was saying was that he was very upset with me that I didn\u2019t support him running for President, and that was the real impetus for us having a strain in our friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And the <em>Green Light<\/em> crooner\u00a0continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what will happen in the future, but [Kanye] was very upset with me that I didn\u2019t support him and I supported Joe Biden. It\u2019s up to him whether he can get past that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Legend also speaks candidly about Kanye\u2019s ill-fated campaign for the\u00a0<strong>White House<\/strong>.\u00a0Of course, as we\u2019ve previously reported, the people behind Ye\u2019s failed run to Washington were highly suspect, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that was something Chrissy\u2019s husband picked up on extremely early in the process.\u00a0John told the mag:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe most frustrating thing about his run for the Presidency for me was how much it was an operation run by the Trump campaign. I don\u2019t know how aware he was of the fact that there was so much Trump personnel throughout his campaign, raising money for him, getting petitions signed for him, getting him on the ballot. I saw their work on his behalf as a clear scam and an operation to try to siphon Black votes away from Biden, so there was no way I was going to support it. Kanye was upset with that, and we haven\u2019t been friends since, really.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"highlight\">Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Ye could not be reached for comment for the interview, the\u00a0<em>New Yorker<\/em> noted. But Legend went on to muse more about the serious disagreements the two A-listers had with each other about it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI don\u2019t feel like politics should be everything in your relationships, and your relationships with people shouldn\u2019t only be determined by who they voted for. But I do believe that certain things you believe in are indicators of your character, and obviously that will affect your friendships. I mean, what are friendships? If they\u2019re not your blood relatives, in many ways they\u2019re defined by your impression of that person\u2019s values and whether or not there\u2019s some level of compatibility with the way you see the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While it sounds like John regrets losing Ye\u2019s friendship, the singer is also trying to be realistic about what it means.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: That One Time We Got SO Drunk Meeting John Legend!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his personal values and whether they can align with others, Legend said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re so online these days, and the fights we\u2019ve had over the past six years on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, particularly around Trump, kind of made politics everything for a lot of people. I don\u2019t want to live a life that\u2019s so consumed by politics that it\u2019s the sole determinant of who can be my friend and who can\u2019t. But values matter and character matters and moral compass matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But can people ever be convinced to change and grow?\u00a0For the\u00a0<em>Minefields<\/em> singer, that gets to the heart of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>He pondered:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMost of my political work has been about encouraging people who are already inclined to think close to where I am to go out and vote and get involved. I don\u2019t know how you persuade someone who believes differently than you do. And some of those beliefs are really strongly held. I have a lot of religious people in my life, for instance, and it\u2019s hard to know how to convince someone when it feels like you\u2019re speaking in an entirely different language.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Damn. Very thoughtful, as always from him.
