Kanye West Admits That Rihanna Makes Him Cry

Kanye performed with some of his friends at a celebrity-packed private show last night, but the highlight of the evening wasn’t the performance of his new single “Mama’s Boyfriend” (although the song’s pretty freakin’ great.) No, the best thing about Kanye’s performance from last night his cover of Rihanna’s chorus “Run This Town”, which lead into a story about how when he saw Rihanna perform earlier in the evening.

In the video above, Kanye says he was so moved by watching someone who he considered to be his baby sister performing a flawless stage show with full production in Madison Square Garden that it actually made him a little weepy. And you know how hilarious it is when Kanye talks about his emotions. It’s like watching a robot that’s been trained to feel in a therapy session.
