Kanye West cheers Caitlyn Jenner on in 'I Am Cait' premiere

I Am Cait, the new reality television series about Caitlyn Jenner that debuted on E! over the weekend, and during the premiere, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made an appearance, and West shared some words of empowerment:

“[Your transition is] one of the strongest things that have happened in our existence as human beings that are so controlled by perception. ‘Cause you couldn’t have been up against more. Your daughter’s a supermodel, you’re a celebrity…every type of thing, and it was still like, ‘[expletive] everybody, this is who I am.’”

Jenner spoke of West’s outpouring of support during her coming out interview with Diane Sawyer earlier this year, but this is the first time we’ve actually gotten to see it in action.

Watch West’s kind words (as well as share an explanation on why he doesn’t have to tie his sneakers) in the heartwarming video above.
