Singer-songwriter John Legend says Kanye West is a genuine person and people judge him wrong.

Legend, 35, who has worked with West several times, said that that they do argue for bringing out the best for their album and he sometimes goes against West's wish, reported Contactmusic.

"We always have differences of opinion. We try to get to a place where we agree on a song, but occasionally I put something on that I love and Kanye isn't too fond of," Legend said.

Legend feels that people judge West wrong and is often criticised for his public rants.

"He is so honest that people think there must be something else behind it, but it's just him telling the truth as he sees it. We place a premium on being polite, but it's not the most necessary thing. If you look at what Kanye says and does, it might upset our sense of politeness, but has he ever actually hurt anybody? No," he added.
