Jack Harlow talks about Kanye West’s recent public antics.
Jack Harlow who recently dropped the music video for “Luv is Dro” with Bryson Tiller & Static Major, is riding high on the success of his Lil Nas X collab “Industry Baby“, which became his first Hot 100 number 1 song. The Kentucky rapper caught with British GQ as he becomes their latest issue’s cover star. During the interview, he also speaks on Kanye West, who produced “Industry Baby”.
“I think people appreciate truth and I think when you have guys like Kanye and songs like ‘All Falls Down’ and being that vulnerable… It changed so many people’s lives. As opposed to ‘Here’s why I am the sh*t,’ it’s ‘Here’s why I am not the shit,’” he said.

Jack Harlow also gives his take on Ye’s latest public antics, in which he’s spotted with different face masks, and the new hairstyle. “I think he [Kanye West] sees himself as Mozart or Beethoven,” he explains. “I think he’s worried, not about what it looks like now but what it will look like in 100 years. Take what happened with the Taylor Swift situation: at the time it was all pitchforks, but now people treat that as iconic. I am always fascinated to see what he does next. This Donda roll-out, people are going to remember that for years.”
He continued, “I think what has worked for me is that my music has never been about the fact that I am white. I don’t try to lean into the, ‘Hey, I’m the white boy.’ I try not to make it a novelty. I rap from the heart, rather than trying to do a white version of the art form.”
Elsewhere, Harlow opened up on what it means to be a white person who raps for a living. “I have serious imposter syndrome the whole way through,” he explained. “And then you have to bounce with it and you feel like you are totally where you are supposed to be. Moments of self-doubt combined with moments of I am who I think I am.”
