In 2009 Kanye West drunkenly interrupted Taylor Swift's MTV Video Music Award acceptance speech by arguing that Beyoncé, not Swift, was the most deserving Best Female Video recipient. In a recent interview he said it was "God, sex, and alcohol that got him through the public backlash.

The rapper opened up to 12 Years A Slave director Steve McQueen for Interview magazine scheduled to hit shelves Feb. 2014. He candidly spoke about how he got over the public scrutiny following his notorious interruption of Swift's acceptance speech.

"God, sex, and alcohol... A lot of sex," he told McQueen were his therapeutic methods from the incident.

West's fiance, Kim Kardashian, has addressed the topic before, and told Interview that he went on a downward spiral in the rouse of the scandal. Even President Barack Obama criticized the occurrence.

West being talked about now more than ever, compared fame to being launched into outer space.

"Well, I've got my astronaut family. You know, becoming famous is like being catapulted into space - sometimes without a space suit," said the "Bound 2" rapper. "We've seen so many people combust, suffocate, get lost in all these different things. But to have an anchor of other astronauts and to make a little space family."

He continued,"As a celebrity, I have an opportunity to make a living at being the spokesperson for the third or fourth rendition of a thought - promoting something that has already been proven. The problem is that I like to be the inventor - I'm the person who works on the concept, who invents new thoughts, who brings new ideas into the universe."

Reenforcing the rapper's self-creativity, an entire religion has been founded and dedicated to West online.

The Church of Yeezianity proudly proclaims itself 'THE BEST CHURCH OF ALL TIME!!!!!' West has inspired some people to start this religion, in which followers believe "that the one who calls himself Yeezus is a divine being who has been sent by God to usher in a New Age of humanity,"
