La Roux Singer Reveals Kanye Made Her Write Apology After She Spoke About Their ‘Strange’ Encounter

*British singer Elly Jackson of La Roux has opened up about her strange encounter with Kanye West, a moment that later had her apologizing to the rapper.

While dishing with Phil Taggart’s Slacker podcast, Jackson recalled the time she and Kanye were working in the same studio, leading to an encounter she described as “strange.”

“He’s one of those people who’s not 100 percent normal,” Jackson explained, per Yahoo. “You can’t talk about anything normal. You can’t just have a normal conversation. … He’s on show 24 hours a day, it’s just him. It’s kind of amazing to be around. I’ll never be around anything like that again. It was really strange… He wants people to walk away saying, ‘That was really weird.'”

Jackson told a mutual friend that her encounter with the hip-hip star was “pretty weird,” and that person allegedly spilled to Ye about what she said. 

Kanye then initiated his “creepy” mode and demanded Elly write him an email apologizing for her comments. 

“It was quite creepy. I remember writing it. I was sat there on my sofa lol-ing to myself like, ‘Dear Kanye…’ They told on me. It was ridiculous,” she said. “I just wrote it all with a massive grin on my face—although they do actually have quite a lot of power… I was like, ‘I think I am going to genuinely apologize. It’s no skin off my nose to write this email.'” 

During an interview with the Sunday Times in 2014, Jackson claimed “nobody likes him.” 

“I didn’t say anything bad about him,” she continued to Slacker. “I just saw some behavior—and it wasn’t directed at me—that I found upsetting and unsettling.”

“(Kanye) was absolutely lovely to me, he was. It’s a hierarchical situation, I don’t know what to say. I don’t like hierarchy, and I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I do. And I’m not gonna also [partake] in this ‘conspiracy of silence’ where everyone pretends everything is f*cking normal when it’s blatantly not. I’m not that person, I can’t cover sh*t up.”

La Roux and West worked together in the past on the remix of the group’s song “In for the Kill” and on his “All of the Lights” track.
