Kanye West avoids phones

8th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Kanye West only communicates with people over email.

The American rapper has remixed Justin Biebers track Runaway Love, with the new version available on the 16-year-olds upcoming release Never Say Never - The Remixes.

Kanye received a great deal of criticism after he stormed the stage when Taylor Swift was accepting an award at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). He has been accused of being arrogant and taking himself too seriously, but Justin insists that couldnt be further from the truth.

The Canadian star enjoyed working with Kanye, even though the star was sometimes difficult to get in touch with.

[Kanye] reproduced the Runaway joint, and I'm really excited. It was amazing. He's such a cool guy, and he's just really laid back and just nice, and at the end of the day, he's just a nice person, Justin told MTV News.

It's funny, because he doesn't even use a phone; he just sends e-mail. It's so crazy. I'm like, 'How can you not use a phone?

Justin has been promoting his 3D movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never lately, which is due out later this month. He cant wait for his fans to watch it and see what hes gone though, as it is important to the young star that his admirers realise he is just like them.

So many people that have written about me and tried to tell the story of my life but havent really summed it up correctly. I wanted Jon [Chu, director] to help he show the world what Im about, how I got here and what struggles Ive gone though. I wanted the world to see Im a regular 16 year old, he explained to the BBC.

The star added people will also get to know his family, and see where his musical ability came from. His grandmother was an accomplished pianist and guitar player. She also sang, and Justins mother Pattie Mallette has a great voice too.

My dad [Jeremy Bieber] plays guitar and piano and sings a little bit but Im the only one whos heard him sing, Justin laughed. (C) Cover Media
