The musician, who has just released new album The Life of Pablo, went on to admit that he’d let his ego get the better of him.
“My number one enemy has been my ego… there is only one thrown and that’s God's,” he wrote.
West also gave a little more insight into the mystery ‘projects’ that he’d publically asked Mark Zuckerberg to invest in.
“A dream of mine would be to do a project where I work side by side with Raf Simmons, Helmut Lang, Vanessa Beecroft and Martin Margiela,” he wrote.
“All with one purpose of creating beautiful product that can be attainable by everyone…”
