During a radio interview with SaturdayNightOnline.com, the rapper compared his daring stage maneuvers to the dangers facing a cop or a soldier at war.
"I'm just giving of my body on the stage and putting my life at risk, literally," West said to host Garrett, referring to his tour performances of songs like "Can't Tell Me Nothing" and "Coldest Winter," during which he stands on top of a moving mountain.
"That mountain goes really, really high," he continued. "And if I slipped … You never know. And I think about it. I think about my family and I'm like ‘Wow, this is like being a police officer or something, in war or something.’"
He described the extreme risk factors of his show, which includes 27 songs and several stage changes.
But West wasn't just discussing putting himself in the line of danger while performing. The 36-year-old rapper was also referring to the public and media scrutiny that come along with fame .
"You're literally going out to do your job every day knowing that something could happen to you," he added. "Something could happen to you verbally from the press bashing you; something could happen to you from people not liking you anymore 'cause of your records or you could actually slip on that stage."
