Kanye West Revealed He Dislikes Reading, And LeVar Burton Has An Honest Take
Kanye West has made some “interesting” declarations (one being of “civil war”) in the past, but his latest one may even be his most surprising. The music mogul and fashion designer recently revealed that he’s not the biggest fan of reading. Since then, a number of people across social media have been weighing in on his views, and one major literacy advocate is among those who’ve spoken out. "Reading Rainbow" host LeVar Burton caught wind of the West’s statements and offered an honest take.
To add some additional context for those who aren’t in the know, Kanye West dropped his head-scratching views when he appeared on "Alo Mind Full" podcast. The star asserted that he hasn’t read “any book” before providing an analogy to sum up his views. For him, “reading is like eating Brussels sprouts” while “talking is like getting the Giorgio Baldi corn ravioli.” I’m not quite sure anyone would’ve had “Kanye compares reading to eating a vegetable” on their 2022 bingo cards, but here we are.
