Kanye West's stepfather blames his 'erratic' behaviour on wife Kim Kardashian, says Kanye feels 'lonely' in the marriage
Kanye West's stepfather Ulysses Blakeley has broken his silence over West and his recent controversial behavior. Blakeley is concerned about the rapper because of the Kardashians' influence on him and believes that it has left him "isolated".
Speaking to DailyMailTV Ulysses revealed that Kanye has still not been able to overcome the death of his mother who passed away in 2007 because of a botched cosmetic surgery. "There's no question the erratic behavior and unfortunate statements he's making, to me, they are a response to her death, even now," he said.
"My essential take is that he is kind of alone, I don't know who he's hanging out with apart from the Kardashians. I don't see anyone from before that time, confidantes or friends before he was successful, they're not there. It seems like he doesn't have that connection back to a trustworthy person, no circle of trust." he added. Ulysses Blakeley lived with West and his mother Donda throughout Kanye's childhood.
