Speaking to Rolling Stone recently, Flowers was reminded of stating that the rapper "makes him ill" in 2006, now responding: "Everyone’s afraid to say anything contrary to him being a genius. It’s crazy, man! And it’s frustrating. I’m not going to tear him down, but I will say I find that to be frustrating... That’s my stance on it."

Flowers added: "A lot of people might agree with me now. I may have been a little bit ahead of my time. But I think he wants to be good. I think he wants to be great, and that’s something that we all want to strive for. We’ve just got different roads of getting there, I guess."

In 2006, Flowers said of West, "He makes me ill. I wanted to love him so much when he first came out. He has this sweet voice, and there’s a cuteness to it. And then you see him in interviews and he’s like a lion. It just ruined the whole package for me."
I just wish I could like him on a personal level.
