John Legend is "eternally grateful" to Kanye West. The 43-year-old singer released his debut album, 'Get Lifted', on Kanye's GOOD Music record label, and he'll always appreciate what the rap star has done for him.

John reflected: "I can’t imagine my career without Kanye’s influence. He gave me a platform because of his success as an artist and producer. "I don’t know whether any of this would have happened without us meeting and helping each other.

I’m eternally grateful to him. " John and Kanye, 45, have found themselves at loggerheads over politics in recent years. And although the 'All of Me' hitmaker is keen to remain friends with Kanye, he admits their relationship is still on the rocks.

He told The Sun newspaper: "We disagree on things but I never thought it was a reason for us not to be friends. What upset Kanye was me not supporting him in running for president.
