Rapper Kanye West has told radio station Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club in an interview that he is developing a video game. He is also leading the development of the game, which has been in the works for six months.

"Right now I’m working on a video game for Only One," said West in the interview. "The idea is that it’s my mother going through the gates of heaven, and you’ve got to bring her to the highest gates of heaven by holding her to the light."

Only One is Kanye West's most recent single that features Paul McCartney.

I don't what's stranger, the fact that Kanye West is developing a video game or the fact the Paul McCartney was featured in his most recent single.

He wants to make a game dedicated to his mother who died after botched Plastic surgery which was most likely funded by Kenny West also I'm sure this has nothing to do with his partner having a mobile game that has clocked up $200m in the last year of microtranscations.
