On his controversial decision to use the confederate flag in his Yeezus tour merch:
“React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. You know the confederate flag represented slavery in a way — that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”
I just think people look cool in it. They look nice. And it’s colorless also, It’s super hood and super white boy approved at the same time. That’s really what my style has always been.”
