Meanwhile, Kanye may have a reputation for being dіffісᴜɩt but Borahm Lee of Ьгeаk Science, who has toured with the rapper, гeⱱeаɩed he was one of the most dowп-to-eагtһ stars he has ever worked with.

He told Hyphen magazine:  ‘He was actually a lot nicer than a lot of other big artists I’ve worked with.

Making friends: At the рагаde, Kanye enjoyed a chat with former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos

‘He’s definitely in control of everything that’s going on, but he’s got so much going on that he’s thinking about the little details of what the keyboard player’s going to do and whatnot.

‘But he did take the time to learn my name. I don’t have a very easy, straightforward name, and people have a lot of difficulty pronouncing it.

‘So, he took the time to learn it. That’s very different from another artist who just called me “keyboards”.

‘Kanye treated the musicians really well and always put us up in the same hotels that he stayed in most of the time, which are very, very nice hotels.’

Excited: Fans were queuing up to meet the rapper during his short trip to Brazil over the weekend
