Kanye delivered an emotional speech at his first presidential campaign rally over the weekend, where among other things he made a strong statement regarding Kim's first pregnancy. Kanye said for the first time publicly that he and Kim had thought that when she was pregnant with their first child, daughter North, they would have an abortion.
Through tears Kanye recounted this personal story, linking it to a similar decision of his parents before he was born.
"My mother saved my life. My father wanted her to abort me ... My mother saved my life! There would be no Kanye West because my father was too busy," the rapper said.
"I remember my girlfriend calling me screaming and crying, and I was just thinking, because I was a rapper at the time, I had some girlfriends ... and she said, 'I'm pregnant.' And I said, 'Yes!' And then I said, 'Uh oh.'
She was crying ... and for a month, two months, three months, we talked about not giving birth to this baby. She had the pills in her hand. While I was in the apartment, I had my laptop in front of me and all my creative ideas, I had my shoes, the cover of my next song ... and suddenly the screen turned black and white. And the Lord said, 'If you intend to destroy my vision, I will destroy yours.'
Thirra gruan time dhe ajo më tha: ‘Ne do ta mbajmë këtë fëmijë’, dhe unë i thashë: ‘Ne do ta mbajmë këtë fëmijë’,” –tregoi Kanye.
Më vonë në fjalën e tij reperi u tha të pranishmëve, "Edhe nëse gruaja ime dëshiron të divorcohet nga unë pas kësaj fjalimi, ajo solli North-in në botë kur unë nuk doja. Ajo u ngrit në këmbë dhe ajo e mbrojti fëmijën e saj."
Në tubim Kanye u tha të pranishmëve se nënat duhet të paguhen 1 milion dollarë, si një përpjekje për të parandaluar abortet. Megjithatë ai theksoi se është pro zgjedhjes së lirë dhe kjo bie ndesh me komentet e tij në një artikull të Forbes në fillim të këtij muaji, ku ai deklaroi: "Unë jam pro- jetës, sepse po ndjek fjalën e Biblës”.
Kanye's candidacy for president has provoked mixed reactions. His wife, Kim Kardashian is said to support him, but thinks all this attention is stressful.
