Rapper praises Kanye West amid feud with Taylor Swift

French Montana opens up about Kanye West and his latest Twitter rants including his recent feud with Taylor Swift.

"I just spoke to him yesterday – it don't seem like he have problems. I just feel like Kanye West is a genius, and all the moves he do is calculated, so everything he says makes headlines. There's a method to his madness," the Moroccan rapper (and ex-boyfriend of West's sister-in-law Khloe Kardashian) said.

West made headlines in the past month for his bizarre Twitter rants and resurrecting his dead beef with Swift– causing some fans to question his mental health. "I haven't felt personally concerned about his well-being ... Every time I talk with him – which is almost every day – he's extremely good-natured, [and] in a great mood …" a longtime friend told people magazine.

Regarding West's latest bad blood with Swift, which stemmed from the rapper calling her a "bitch" and taking credit for her fame in his new song, Montana, 30, pled the fifth.

"Sometimes [calling someone a bitch] is [complimentary]; sometimes it's not. I think he means it in a good sense," Montana said, adding Swift's incensed Grammys speech proved West's place in the industry: "He's so powerful that you felt his impact in that building without him even being there."

As for his relationship with the Khloe, he remained mum on whether there could be any future romance but told King, "We was always like best friends, ya know," adding Lamar Odom – to whom Kardashian is still married – "is [a nice guy]."
