Kanye West: '90% of celebrities only use their voice to make money'

Kanye West believes most celebrities are just out to make money.

The rapper told Q magazine that he believes many stars are "controlled" by cash.

He said: "I just think there's a lot of celebrities that are completely controlled by their finances.

"You could literally tap them on the wrist and say they lost five dollars and they'll fall to the floor and beg for at least four of the dollars back.

"So when people expect a celebrity to do or say anything you're talking to the wrong group of people. They won't use their voice for the people. They'll only use their voice for money.

"Print it as loud, as f**king loud, as you want to. Print it. And I don't care what parties I don't get invited to afterwards. 90% of celebrities only use their voice for the purpose of making money for themselves."

The US star added: "I'll address [politics] however it needs to be addressed, because the world is broken. Somebody's got to be crazy enough to put themselves and their wellbeing on the line for truth. Somebody's gotta do it."

West was speaking to Q ahead of his headline slot at this weekend's Glastonbury festival.
