Kanye West has long kept a recording studio in his home. I think in the years when Kanye and Kim were living with Kris Jenner, he kept his “bachelor pad” in LA and used that place to record music, solo or with collaborators. Kanye also has a well-documented history of doing weird, inappropriate and even sexist things, and I’m saying that as a Kanye Apologist for the most part. He has moments where he treats women terribly, where he says horribly sexist and misogynistic things about women, and there are no excuses. So while this story didn’t surprise me, that doesn’t mean I found it acceptable.

In the storied history of Kanye West, many people can attest to odd interactions. He’s not exactly the most grounded individual in the music/entertainment business, so almost anyone who’s spent time with him can recite an odd happening. Ninja, from Die Antwoord, pretty much just beat everyone with this.

During what was supposed to be a recording session with Kanye at his home, Kanye apparently turned on anal sex porn in the midst of a conversation.

“I had this idea for a track and, as I’m about to say the sh*t about the track, Kanye just turns on an anal sex video. Like a random anal sex video,” said Ninja. “And then Kanye says, ‘Why is this guy putting his whole hand in her ass with his dick?’ And then he turned back to me and said, ‘Sorry, what were you saying?’”

Guys will be guys, right? But it didn’t end there. Kanye interrupted Ninja again to ask if he liked banana pudding. Based on the immediately previous interaction, it wouldn’t be too hard to assume that ‘banana pudding’ was some kind of weird euphemism, but no, Kim had just made dessert.

This reminded me of what Madonna said about working with Kanye, that his mind is always in twenty different places at once, that he was constantly watching other stuff, texting, talking on the phone and more while they were supposed to be working. Although I doubt that Kanye would have pulled this move with Madonna. It’s completely inappropriate to turn on a hardcore p0rn while in the middle of a work situation. I don’t care if you’re in a home studio, I don’t care if the “music industry” finds that kind of behavior to be the norm, and I don’t care if you’re planning on following it up with the best banana pudding ever. It’s wrong. Kanye should know better.
