Kanye West has given a brief interview, during which he made a rather bleak remark (Picture: TikTok\/@mysteryfashionist)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Known for his straight-talking and often divisive remarks, Kanye West<\/a> has made a rather bleak admission about life.<\/p>\n

The Gold Digger rapper, 48, stepped out in Japan<\/a> this week, seemingly wanting to blend in on his nighttime stroll in the city.<\/p>\n

However, an eagle-eyed TikTok<\/a> star picked the fashion designer, flanked by stony-faced security, out of the crowd.<\/p>\n

He began interviewing West for his page, Mystery Fashionist, asking him about his outfit, to which the controversial star made some self-assured remarks.<\/p>\n

Asked first of all for his name and where he came from, West replied: ‘I’m Ye, I’m from Chi.’ West legally changed his name to Ye in 2018, and ‘Chi’ is short for Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Upon being instructed to ‘rate’ and describe his look, West, who was clad in light-wash denim jeans, a matching jacket, a black puffer coat, and boots, declared: ‘Oh, it’s always a 10 out of 10.’<\/p>\n

‘I got the original Yeezy<\/a> 950 boots on. Gosha did the pop-up today, so the rest of it’s all Gosha,’ he explained, name-checking a designer for his casual attire<\/p>\n

Finally, the Monster hitmaker was asked: ‘What’s a fashion trend you regret participating in?’<\/p>\n

West’s reply? ‘Life.’<\/p>\n

The TikTok has been viewed almost five million times in just one day, with the comments all pretty surprised to see West making an appearance, since his outings are rare these days, and his interviews even rarer.<\/p>\n

‘How did you even get him on camera in the 1st place???\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02’, asked a stunned @augustthird_.<\/p>\n

‘Life\u2026 \ud83d\ude29\ud83d\ude29 He ain\u2019t lying lol. It\u2019s rough out here!!’, wrote @shacree.rose.<\/p>\n

Others noted how ‘sad’ and ‘tired’ West seemed in the video, with one even saying he resembled a ‘clone’ of himself.<\/p>\n

‘You literally never know what is going to come out of this man\u2019s mouth’, added @tinooeee, while @mbalipet quipped: ‘I’m surprised he actually introduced himself \ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d he was very nice here’.<\/p>\n

West seldom speaks on camera these days. It’s only really this month that he’s become a more active public figure again, having made another appearance in Japan when Travis Scott brought him out for a show, West dramatically unmasking himself before performing two tracks.<\/p>\n

At the start of November, he also sat down with Rabbi Yoshiayo Yosef Pinto to ‘take accountability’ for the antisemitic language he has spewed<\/a>.<\/p>\n

West – who previously called himself a ‘Nazi’ – expressed ‘profound remorse’ for his offensive behaviour and claimed his outbursts were caused by bipolar.<\/p>\n

Through a translator, the Rabbi squeezed West\u2019s hands and told him: \u2018You are a very good man.\u2019<\/p>\n
