Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine Madonna has called Kanye West 'a brilliant madman'.
Madge said of Kanye, who co-produced several tracks on her new album, Rebel Heart: "Don't go to awards shows looking for justice.
"That's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Just go and have fun. I never got too engaged with who wins awards or not, because I don't honestly think it's that important.
"So that part of him I can't relate to. Like, what's the point of fighting for somebody to ... like, ‘This person should have got it?'… I think sometimes he takes things too seriously."
The 56-year-old continued: "It's really hard to describe Kanye in one sentence, so I may have to use several.
"He's a brilliant madman. He can't help himself. Like, he doesn't have the same filters other people have. He has to blurt things out – he's always saying inappropriate stuff. But he also has brilliant ideas, if you can get him to pay attention long enough, working with him in the studio. He would come and go. He would drive me bonkers, because he's got so many things going on in his life.
"And this seemed to be the theme of my record, working with people who can't get off their phone, can't stop tweeting, can't focus and finish a song. It drove me crazy. But when they did pay attention, it was brilliant. I was, like, running around with a butterfly net. But I feel like the music business needs him, because everyone's become so politically correct, so safe. I don't always agree with the things he says or does – I don't always like his music, even. But he's a beautiful mess. I love him."
Adding her two-pence about Kanye West, Madge also spoke of Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift in her cover story for the magazine.
Madge said: "Miley is rebelling against her past."
Talking about Swifty, she added: "She has an opinion, and she's going against the norm.
"So in that respect, she is similar to me. And also, people just want to give her a hard time all the time because they think she's a goody-two-shoes, so of course I want to embrace her."
