Rapper Kanye West blames his late mother for his love of big-bosomed women - because she spent "too long" breastfeeding him as a baby.

The Stronger hitmaker admits to harbouring a penchant for ladies with larger busts and insists his fetish must stem from childhood.

He tells New York magazine, "I have liked big tits ever since I was a kid. I was breastfed for too long I think. It messed me up."

West's mother, Dr. Donda West, 58, died in November last year, following complications from a cosmetic breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction operation.
