Kanye West addressed haters in Interview magazine's latest edition. For his cover story in the mag's February 2014 issue, the rapper chatted with "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen about controversy surrounding his "Bound 2" music video which featured his baby mama Kim Kardashian.

"I think people are afraid of dreams, and that video is one of the closest things to the way that dreams look and feel, or the way joy looks and feels, with the colors," he explained. "I don't think most people are comfortable with their own dreams, so it's hard for them to be comfortable with other people's dreams."

The outspoken lyricist additionally said, "People are strategically trying to do things to mute my voice in some way or make me look like I'm a lunatic or pinpoint the inaccuracies in my grammar to somehow take away from the overall message of what I'm saying."

Despite criticisms that often came his way, Kanye vowed to keep pushing the envelope. "All we have is today. You know, the past is gone, and tomorrow is not promised...," he reasoned. "The risk for me would be in not taking one - that's the only thing that's really risky for me."

He went on, "Only one of two things can happen: either I'm gonna be right or I'm gonna be wrong. But if you look at the past 10 years, I've been right."

As for Robbie's "Tarzan" casting, the rumor has been circulating on the web since late last year. She is expected to play Jane, sharing screen with Alexander Skarsgard, Christoph Waltz, and Samuel L. Jackson in this project.

The police raided his house last week and found some substance in plain view. His friend Lil Za was arrested for drug possession and was released later.

Following the raid, a report suggesting that Bieber abused drugs in alarming regularity emerged online.

Ke$ha's mother, Pebe Sebert, has been treated in the same rehab facility as her daughter. In a statement to PEOPLE, Sebert said that she checked herself into the rehab facility which is located in Chicago area after her 26-year-old daughter urged her to do so.

"I'm checking myself into Timberline Knolls today for post-traumatic stress disorder, at Ke$ha's urging," she said. Sebert, who previously said that her daughter's longtime producer contributed to the singer's struggle with body issue, added, "This whole Dr. Luke thing has almost torn our family apart and taken over my life, and Ke$ha wants me to heal along with her."

Earlier this month, Ke$ha unexpectedly announced that she sought treatment for eating disorder. "I'll be unavailable for the next 30 days, seeking treatment for my eating disorder ... to learn to love myself again. Exactly as I am," the "Timber" songstress said.

A week after the singer's admission to the rehab center, her mother claimed that Dr. Luke and Ke$ha's other advisers played role in the singer's struggle with body image. "Dr. Luke had been telling her how she had to get in shape and lose weight and all this stuff. She was exercising and dieting and ultimately doing everything she could, but not getting thin fast enough. And that's when she first became bulimic," Sebert said, alleging that Dr. Luke once called Ke$ha "refrigerator."

Dr. Luke, however, denied the claim. "These statements and allegations concerning Dr. Luke are completely false. It is unfortunate that at a time Ke$ha is suffering immensely and trying to heal at a treatment center, her mother is taking this approach with the media. I give Ke$ha my utmost support and well wishes for a quick return to health," read a statement from his representative.
