He
is known for his outrageous and egotistical proclamations, claiming he
will run for president and that he is the greatest living artist in the
world. Kanye step father Willie
Scott, in his first ever media interview, told Daily Mail Online that
Kanye's continued refusal to do any chores or obey his simple rules led
him to ask his girlfriend to leave his home after living together for
four years.
Now Daily Mail Online can reveal that Kanye West's
self-centered behavior began at an early age and it helped wreck his
mother's relationship with the man who welcomed Dr. Donda West and her
son into his home and tried to to be a father figure to the teenager.
The
rapper, he said, would not wholly accept his mother had a new man in
her life and did not try to help reform his ways when the relationship
began to founder.
Scott,
who is 81 and still lives in the same detached house in a Chicago
suburb, said:
'Kanye didn't want me with his mother or any man for that
matter. He was wrapped up into his mother.
'We went to a counselor to see if we could get him on the right path.
'But Donda wasn't interested. She wanted ME on the right path. And that is what the dilemma was.'
He
said Donda doted on her only child and had brought him up as a single
mom before they met, having split from Kanye's father Ray when their son
was three.
Dr
West had moved to Chicago from Atlanta, where Kanye was born, in 1980
and worked at several educational establishments before meeting Scott.
Scott,
a mechanics teacher, said Dondra had helped him set up a curriculum for
the Simeon Vocational High School in Chicago where he had been working.
The
proposed curriculum failed to take off, but their relationship did and
after two years she and her teenage son moved into his home with their
dog called Genius.
But Scott said he and the music loving teenager did not hit it off.
'He [Kayne] was about 14. He was a beautiful kid, but he was aggressive and he was self assured.
'He told me in front of his mother that he didn't want to have to do anything he didn't have to.
'So
that left the discipline on me basically. And he wasn't cooperative. He
had to take the responsibility for living here and he wasn't really
willing to do that.'
Disagreements
flared between the man who wanted to act as his father and Kayne, with
his mother taking her son's side, said Scott.
'She would make excuses for him. She would describe her son as a "genius".'
Scott
believed Kanye's passion for writing rap and spending countless hours
and days alone in he bedroom was an excuse for not helping out in the
house and felt rap was 'a fad' which would pass.
He said: 'It was a sticking point…for him to take responsibility for the house. It was his house and I told him that.
'I said "Son, this is your house and you have to take care of it."
'But he was not into doing anything but his (rap) work. He did his thing which was doing his music.
'He was not interested in anything else, not maintaining anything.'
Scott
said Kanye would refuse to cut the grass on the lawn and would desist
from menial tasks like dealing with the trash or walking the dog.
'His
mother would take the garbage out and he would stuff the old garbage in
the can and put a new bag over it because he didn't want her to say
anything to him.
'He was a very creative kid, but he didn't want anything to interfere with what he was doing, and that was his music.'
