He’s never been afraid to speak his mind, and Kanye West couldn’t shut up about Kim Kardashian during his radio interview with San Francisco’s KMEL on Monday (October 24).

Just a few hours before he rented out AT&T Park and popped the question, the “Love Lockdown” rapper told the hosts, “I have never loved any girl, other than my mother, as much as I love my girlfriend.”

Kanye added, “I’m so happy to be with her, to live this life together, and — with our relationship with God — to be able to live forever in heaven together, and also to raise a strong family that communicates truth and beauty.”

But when one of the hosts asked if he would marry Kim, West smiled and replied, “I’m not answering those questions.”
