"I adore you, I think you're brilliant", Ellen later tells Kanye, before showing viewers a rap she created for the BET Awards where Kanye was awarded the visionary award.

"That was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me," Kanye revealed to the audience after the clip.

In a rare move Kanye also opened up on his life with Kim and North, admitting that the pair have changed him for the better. "I think I'm a better human being because of Kim and because of my daughter.", he said.

He continued: "And I have always someone to think about going home to, and you know something for me to be brave for – what I want to do for humanity, but also to be more protective of myself for my family too."
