"I told you I'm only afraid of God. I'm only afraid of my daddy, God. I done been 15 years. I'm telling you that God is showing you that you can have your own thoughts, bro. I been canceled before there was cancel culture."
On if fans will hear music from his past albums at live shows:
"They made movies about Steve Jobs so y'all could understand who I am. Now, when you go to the Apple store, I don't be seeing no iPod 4 . . . Take you to eBay and get you the old Kanye and get you a vintage iPod 4 while you're at it, a Sega 8-bit."
On woke culture:
"Everybody thinks they're so woke but they're following the rules of what woke is supposed to be. Hip-hop ain't never been about following rules. It's been about doing what you feel."
