Kanye West has spoken for the first time regarding his controversial Glastonbury 2015 headline slot, admitting that he “messed up” and that the performance left him “depressed”.

In an exclusive interview with Annie Mac on Radio 1, Kanye admitted “It was incredible. I started off the show and I completely messed up the music…. I’m a bit of a perfectionist so it really put me into a slightly depressed state.”

The rapper, whose appointment as the Saturday night headliner led to an ‘anti-Kanye West’ petition, then added that the performance “put me back in the position of when I was in high school and I got fired from my job, or when I played my music for R Kelly and he told me he was going to sign me, and then three months later I didn’t have any money, I couldn’t afford a haircut, I couldn’t take my girlfriend to the movies and I’m still in my momma’s bedroom, working on beats and I was that close to being signed by R Kelly.”

Quite!

Alongside Glastonbury, the interview also hears Kanye discuss his plans to run for President in the 2020 campaign, his collaboration with IKEA, and more. Grab a listen below:
