Kanye West is known for his emotionally charged performances, not to mention the rants, and this time he sat down for a chat with Radio 1's Zane Lowe and was left in tears.
The rapper, who performed last night at the Brits 2015, got extremely emotional when talking about the "greatest fashion instructor of all time" Louise Wilson, who died in May last year.
Kanye attended the professor's memorial service along with the likes of Victoria Beckham ahead of London Fashion Week, and described his last meeting with his friend and mentor at London's Hakkasan.
