London - Kanye West says his daughter "isn't America's baby".
The rapper - whose girlfriend Kim Kardashian is pregnant with the couple's first child - has revealed he will do all he can to "protect" the reality TV star and their baby.
Asked for this thoughts on parenthood, he said: "One of the things was just to be protective, that I would do anything to protect my child or my child's mother ... [But I haven't] fully developed those thoughts yet. I don't have a kid yet.
"Well, I just don't want to talk to America about my family. Like, this is my baby. This isn't America's baby."
The 36-year-old producer admitted his relationship with the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star is inspirational and helps him "focus".
He told the New York Times: "Any woman that you're in love with or that loves you is going to command a certain amount of, you know, energy. It's actually easier to focus, in some ways.
"I'm the type of rock star that likes to have a girlfriend, you know? I'm the type of soul that likes to be in love and likes to be able to focus. And that inspires me." - Bang Showbiz
