Kanye West defends his, 'art'
After facing serious backlash online, Kanye West has spoken out in defense of his Eazy music video.
It features a Claymation character that looks a lot like his ex Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
And many social media users have been calling it, 'disturbing.'
Taking to Instagram, Kanye defended his, 'art,' by claiming it's a form of, 'therapy.'
'art is protected as freedom of speech... art inspires and simplifies the world... Art is not a proxy for any ill or harm.'
'Any suggestion otherwise about my art is false and mal intended'
