Kanye West "Devastated" Over Rihanna

Kanye West told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday that he is "completely devastated" and shocked over Chris Brown's alleged assault on Rihanna. "I was completely devastated by the concept of what I heard," he told Seacrest. Describing Rihanna as his "baby sis," he tells the radio show host, he would do "any everything to help her in any situation." "Rihanna is so important to our culture ... to pop music. I feel like she is the most important artist in music and has the most potential. Her taste level and her age ... she has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time." West, who saw Chris Brown and Rihanna on Saturday's Clive Davis Pre-Grammy party before the alleged assault occurred, learned of the incident shortly before he performed "American Boy" with Estelle on Sunday night's Grammys. West, who toured with Rihanna, wouldn't tell Seacrest if he had reached out to the Barbados-born singer but did say, "All I want to say is, it's so devastating. Just as a person, I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's ... [abuse] should never happen. It should never come to that place." http://www.thebeatfm.com/main.html
