When Jay Leno Made Kanye West Sad
Jay Leno asked Kanye West if his recently deceased mother would be ashamed of him for interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech at the MTV Video Music Awards. A somber Kanye was visibly shaken by that tough question, when Jay asked “I was fortunate enough to meet your mom, what do you think she would have said about this?”
Leno probably knew about Kanye’s close relationship with his mother, Donda West, and how her death impacted him mentally. Instead of apologizing and moving on, he continued to press Kanye for answers. Classy, Leno—very classy.
