Aside from a new album and clothing collection, Kanye West recently debuted a new video game concept centered around his mother in heaven.

The 38-year-old rap mogul who premiered his Yeezy Season 3 clothing collection during New York Fashion Week at Madison Square Garden, also used the opportunity to debut his new album, The Life Of Pablo.

At the event, West also gave fans a glimpse of a new video game called "Only One," where a screen showed his mother flying on a white winged horse through the clouds of heaven.

"I worked on a video game, and I wanted to show y'all. The idea of the game is my mom traveling through the gates of heaven," West said at his Feb. 11 event, according to E! reports. "That's not easy to do. Y'all just act like (expletive) is regular, man."

He went on to explain the concept of the game along with the hardships he faced in bringing it to fruition.

"The concept is my mom traveling through the gates of heaven. No, You don't understand like I go out and meet with everybody in San Fran, and they'll diss the (expletive) out of me and' I'll be I want to make a game' and they be like (expletive ) you," West said. "Man this (expletive) was hard to do, man."

West revealed he felt misunderstood a lot of times and expressed his gratitude and love toward his supporters.

"I feel a lot of times I get misunderstood just as an artist because y'all see so many times artist being controlled by corporations or public perceptions or their current finances or whatever and if you gonna be an artist you just gotta do what's in your heart and fight for every dream that you may dream whatever discipline it may be no one can tell you what field to stay in," he said.

The artist lost his mother Donda West in 2007, due to complications with plastic surgery. Last year, he told Q magazine that he felt things would be different if he did not move to California.

"If I had never moved to L.A. she'd be alive," West told Q. "I don't want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears."

While West's creative brand is called DONDA, he recently spoke about his late mother and the late father of his wife, Kim Kardashian, helping create his new album.

"I'm only doing one percent, two percent of the work and God is doing the rest of the work. My mom… had Teddy Riley change his flight and come back to the studio," West said in an interview on Big Boy Radio. "Robert Kardashian is making sure that all the deals is getting done. He's still doing deals for controversial black people from up in heaven."
