Daily Mail Online reports that Kanye's behavior had begun at an early age, which had unfortunately, ruined his mother, Donda West's relationship with Scott, the man who had tried to be a father him.

Willie Scott, in what is said to be his first ever media interview, revealed to Daily Mail Online that Kanye's continued refusal to do any chores or obey simple rules had led him to ask his girlfriend, Donda, to leave his home after they had lived together for 4 years.

Scott went on to reveal that he had split from Donda who had been an English professor, due to her refusal to control her son, with the couple even seeking professional help in a bid to save their 6-yr long relationship.

81-yr-old Scott, who reportedly still lived in the same detached house in a Chicago suburb where Kanye and his mother had lived, said:

"Kanye didn't want me with his mother or any man for that matter. He was wrapped up into his mother. We went to a counselor to see if we could get him on the right path but Donda wasn't interested. She anted ME on the right path. And that is what the dilemma was. He [Kayne] was about 14. He was a beautiful kid, but he was aggressive and he was self assured.

"He told me in front of his mother that he didn't want to have to do anything he didn't have to. So that left the discipline on me basically. And he wasn't cooperative. He had to take the responsibility for living here and he wasn't really willing to do that.

"She would make excuses for him. She would describe her son as a "genius" but he was not into doing anything but his (rap) work. He did his thing which was doing his music. He was not interested in anything else, not maintaining anything."

Scott went on to reveal that Kanye had refused to mow the lawn, avoiding menial tasks as well."His mother would take the garbage out and he would stuff the old garbage in the can and put a new bag over it because he didn't want her to say anything to him.

"He was a very creative kid, but he didn't want anything to interfere with what he was doing, and that was his music. He said the tension between he and the rapper could have been avoided had his lover been less supportive of her son and more of him.

"We talked about the fact that she didn't discipline him. We went to a counselor to try and get things smoothed out. But her mind was on him being a millionaire."

He added that Dr West had often described her son as a 'genius,' instilling a no-nonsense confidence in him while appreciating his love for music and writing.

"He was the only child and she loved him to death. She was locked into him period.

"With Kanye in the middle between them, Scott said he realized after four years living under the same roof that the relationship could go no further.

"'Eventually I asked that he and Donda to move out. He had to take the responsibility for living here and he wasn't really willing to do that.

Dr West had died in November 2007 at 58 following her admission into a hospital in Marina del Rey, California after her health had begun to deteriorate following a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.
