First, his mother-in-law defended him during her appearance on The Ellen Show:
"You know, Kanye has a lot of love for all of you, all of his fans, and everybody who’s been there to support him forever. And, I know that he will explain himself in his own way. And I think that anything he does — and I just think this is important to say is — he always does things with really good intentions. So, I’m gonna let him explain himself when the time’s ready and I just keep rolling on."
Now, she has taken to Instagram in the lead-up to the Met Gala to share a photo where she can be seen holding the rapper's hand.
"Met Gala flashback! So excited for tonight! Happy Met Gala Monday everyone 💋 #MetGala#MetGala2018 #family #love," she captioned the image.
Meanwhile, his wife Kim Kardashian is reportedly mortified over what he said in the media.
“Kim was really upset that Kanye chose to have a very serious discussion in a place like that,” a source told Us Weekly. “And because she wasn’t given a heads up about it beforehand.”
“Kanye shared a lot of his passionate words, which was important to him but had they been said in a different setting and time, they would have come across in a different way,” the insider added. “A lot of things he said were very serious. If he had said them in different, more planned out way it would be a different story, even positive.”
