John Legend gets candid about longtime collaborator Kanye West

However, because of the Chicago rapper's controversies, a chasm opened between them.But now, it appears the duo has resolved their differences; in the new interview with The Complex, Legend shared, "He's not reached out to me.

So I don't want to act like I've refused to meet up with him or talk with him.""But if we did talk, it wouldn't be a public reunion.

It would be man-to-man, like a private conversation."Then, he added, "I don't have a hard time forgiving anybody personally for any slight — and, you know, he's said a few stray comments about me.

But he hasn't done much to harm me, or with the intent to harm me at all."The All of Me hitmaker continued, "Any forgiveness that he needs to seek isn't about anything he's done to me.""I feel like what he's done to society has been really harmful.

What he said about entire communities has been really harmful.

The Black community, the Jewish community, those things have been really harmful.""But I think as a cultural figure and as a person who has impact on the world, the things he said and did were so violently wrong that it requires more than a statement in The Wall Street Journal," Legend concluded, referring to West.
