Kanye West is heading to an arena near you!

On May 2 Kanye West announced on Steve Harvey’s morning radio show that he will hit the road in the fall to promote his latest album, “The Life of Pablo.” 

“You know my tour game is strong,” he said. “My tour game is unprecedented. So we’re going to go out in September, I believe, and we’re just working on some of the ideas right now.”

The innovator looks to inspire younger generations.

“I’m trying to literally inspire these kids the way Disney inspired me when I saw the original 'Star Wars’,” he said.

West and wife, Kim Kardashian, made an appearance at last night’s Met Gala, a annual charity gala where A-listers and fashion aficionados raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. Kim Kardashian wore a futuristic silver gown by fashion brand Balmain.

The couple is unafraid to take fashion risks and now has high brands wanting to dress body figures similar to the reality star, according to West.

“She broke boundaries with fashion where designers weren’t trying to make clothes with women with shape, and now they’re all about embracing and empowering women,” he said.

He continued on: “She’s empowering women in a matriarch society where women can make money. Like when she said, ‘OK my husband might have invested everything he had into fashion, everything he had into creativity for breaking boundaries, but I put the money in the account.’ All of those statements, means that can’t nobody ever disrespect my wife, period.”

But one person West did disrespect was ex-girlfriend, Amber Rose. The two were in a Twitter war that involved Rose’s ex-husband, rapper Wiz Khalifa. Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose are the parents to 2-year-old  Sebastian “The Bash” Taylor Thomaz.

“4th you let a stripper trap you,” Kanye tweeted in a since deleted tweet. “5th I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years.” 

West appeared remorseful for his behavior during his interview with Harvey.

“I really want to stress the amount of respect that I have for parents. There is no concept of anyone beating up on someone else’s child or that type of concept,” he said. “So every day I feel more deeply, deeply, deeply apologetic about that concept, because I only want to put out positive, positive, positive concepts.”
