'My Wife Has Dated Broke Black Dudes' - Kanye West

Kanye West paid tribute to his wife Kim Kardashian in a speech about racism and interracial relationships at The BET Honors on Saturday evening, while accepting the Visionary Award at the event.

The rapper referenced a meeting with Louis Farrakhan Muhammad, Sr. - leader of the religious group Nation of Islam - where Kanye said it was 'groundbreaking' to see his reaction to his relationship with a woman 'not of color' reports Jezebel.

'For us to focus on the idea of love and not the idea of separation,' Kanye explained, before going into further detail about the stigma surrounding interracial relationships that he had encountered growing up.
