Paul McCartney Said Kanye West Was Most Interested in His Knighthood When They First Met

Kanye West and Paul McCartney were a surprising team-up that created excellent music. However, their collaboration wasn’t the first time they met. While it would make sense for Kanye to want to get some music pointers from the legendary musician, the rapper appeared to be more interested in Sir Macca’s knighthood.

McCartney and Kanye first crossed paths at a Met Gala that honored his daughter, Stella. McCartney was excited to meet the American rapper, and the feeling was mutual. However, the “Heartless” rapper appeared more interested in his knighthood than his extensive discography of iconic music.

“With Kanye, I’m always so excited that he knows who I am, and he’s come up. I’m a fan of his,” McCartney told GQ in 2012. “I met him and ‘Jay Zed’, as we call him, at the Met Ball that Stella was being honored at. I never know what to say. They were just saying, ‘Hey man, you’re really a Knight!’ Their perspective on that, as Americans, as ex-Project guys – for them, a knight is like Sir Lancelot. It’s always funny as I’m just Paul, one of the guys.”
