John Legend says that he is not too close with Kanye West anymore.
G.O.O.D. Music is not what it used to be. The label was once stacked with talent but, these days, Kanye West is seemingly more interested in growing his brand in the fashion industry and improving his spiritual connection to a higher power. The born-again Christian has moved to Wyoming and he’s currently rumored to be working on a new album called God’s Country.
As his G.O.O.D. Music imprint has said goodbye to Desiigner, Kacy Hill, and others over the years, John Legend revealed that he is no longer close friends with the recording artist.
During an interview with The Times in the UK, Legend explained his current relationship with West.

“I don’t think we’re less friends because the Trump thing,” he said. “I just think we’re doing our own thing. He’s up in Wyoming. I’m here in L.A. We’ve both got growing families and I no longer have a formal business relationship with him as an artist, so I think it’s just part the natural cycle life.”
Legend previously urged West to reconsider his alliance to Donald Trump, sending him text messages that eventually got posted to Twitter. Apparently the switch to gospel music and a move to a different state was enough for Legend to move on from Yeezy.
Do you think they’ll ever work together again?
