Kanye West believes his penchant for big boobs is a result of being breastfed for too long.

The rapper said he has been obsessed with over-sized chests since childhood and blamed his mum for failing to wean him off breast milk at the right time.

He told New York magazine: "I have liked big t*ts ever since I was a kid. I was breastfed for too long I think. It messed me up."

He revealed that he had learned to follow his heart since the sudden death of mum Donda following a routine tummy tuck last year.

He wrote on his blog: "I don't do anything I don't love anymore. I loved the 'Flashing Lights' video so it didn't matter to me if someone one else didn't. While people chase money I pursue happiness... If there's anything my mom taught me is to enjoy life."
