Speaking about his relationship with Kanye and his family, Lewis said, “I like to think I’m relatively close to Kanye and his family. Whenever I go to L.A., I can go around and hang.”
He added, “They actually are a beautiful family. It’s pretty similar to my own family. It was kinda cool. Because people who are in the spotlight, we are genuinely very protective of who we let in. So, it’s not that often that someone just lets you come around, especially when a family is well known as that.”
