Not to be outdone, she also gives props to Kanye West and recalls meeting him at restaurant.

“One day I met him at Nobu uptown. We saw this table full of rapper-type guys and I said, ‘That’s Kanye West.’ And everybody at my table said, ‘Nope, they’re imposters, they’re impersonators.’ And he then walks over and introduces himself and asks if he can come and see me at my office. So he came the next day, by himself, on time, and he had a tour of the office. He wants to brand himself. He’s a big-time guy and he wants to do all those fabulous things.
