Kanye West on Kim Kardashian: “I loved her from the first day I saw her”

Kanye West gave an interview with Hot 97′s Angie Martinez. During the interview, the rapper talks about how he’s always loved Kim Kardashian, the whole 10 years he’s known her, and how she’s one of the “most beautiful women” who ever lived.

“I loved her from the first day I saw her,” Kanye said on the radio show.

“I remember seeing pictures of her and Paris Hilton in Australia and I came to Don C. and I was like, ‘Man, have you ever seen Kim Kardishawn?” he added.

“Our love story’s a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing where it’s like she’s a reality star and I’m a rapper, and people talking about how our brands connect and what doesn’t fit and I’m just so tired of the conversation of brands,” he said. ”Why don’t we start the conversation with love? Why don’t we start the conversation with God? Why don’t we start this conversation with family, instead? It’s not about branding at a certain point.”

He added, ”OK, ladies and gentlemen—all barber shops, fashion designers, architects, corner stores, Wall Street, all over the world—y’all acting like this ain’t the most beautiful woman of all time! I’m talkin’ like arguably of human existence—the top 10 of human existence.”
