Kanye West dropped the visuals to “Fade” from his latest album, The Life of Pablo, at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. “I came here to present my new video, but before I do that, Im’ma talk”.
Kanye West wants unity and love with Taylor Swift, according to his latest tweet.
The shirt/peace offering combines Taylor Swift’s biggest appeal to the masses yet with the album that Kanye made while deep in his pariah period (after famously storming the stage to shout down Taylor Swift’s VMA win).

Over the weekend, Los Angeles gallery Blum & Poe exhibited the waxworks from Kanye West‘s “Famous”.
He also acknowledged supportive Kim in the front row, saying, “My wife is a G (gangster)”. We came over in the same boat. Maybe different boats, but uh, you know.
“People come up to me, like, ‘That’s right, tell Taylor!’ I’m like, ‘Bro, I love all y’all!”
Naturally, the Twitterverse had plenty to say about Kanye’s speech and new video – albeit not as much as Kanye had to say about Kanye – including Nick Cannon, Kylie Jenner, and Tegan and Sara.
Kanye then got onto the subject of THAT phone call between himself and Taylor that Kim Kardashian recently posted to Snapchat.
Later, Kanye spoke about art and his idols, before introducing the “Fade” music video.

I know for me, I sit down and talk to older, like rich people – a.k.a white – and they tell me, ‘Don’t compare yourself to Steve Jobs. Don’t compare yourself to Walt Disney.’ And my friend… told me, ‘There are three keys to keeping people impoverished.
