Kanye West: `I was a spoilt brat`

In a recent interview with US Vanity Fair magazine, he opened up about the impact of his mother's death and his plans to carry on her legacy.

West told the publication: 'On one hand, I never really dealt with the loss but, in not dealing with the loss, I also didn't completely deal with the responsibilities that my mother used to take, she was such an amazing, well-rounded person, and I was a spoiled brat.'

The 33-year-old now has a different outlook on life as he keeps his mother's memory close to him.

He said: 'The best thing I can do now is carry on my mother's legacy, I need to recapture the hearts of the world just to show people how great my mum was, to show people that Donda raised a good guy.

'My responsibility is to make music that's progressive, that makes me happy, that makes everyone happy, my job in society isn't to be mad - my job is to present good music.'
