“He’s a boss. He’s an owner,” the athlete, 44, said. “I look up to him. He’s Black. Right? He owns his own s—. I f— with him. He’s a genius, as well. Probably the biggest artist that we had in my generation.”

The podcast host then asked when the last time he saw West, 46, was, to which he replied: “I haven’t been around him, probably since I woke up from the coma.” (Odom was hospitalized in 2015 after being found unconscious at Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nev.)

These days, Odom is focused on running recovery centers — something he’s super passionate about.

“I lived it,” he noted. “You know what I’m saying? So my heart is into it. A lot of people since 2005, s—, have OD’d. More deaths than World War I, World War II, and Vietnam combined. That’s a lot of people… It’s crazy. Marijuana is the way to go, I would say. Marijuana is probably the healthy high, I would call it, right? The healthy alternative?”

Additionally, the basketball star has teamed up with Caitlyn Jenner on their new podcast “Keeping Up With Sports.”

“We didn’t choose that name,” Odom said. “It’s kind of corny because it’s like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, but it’s because it’s me and Bruce.”

“Business is business,” he continued of why the Kardashian family doesn’t mind the play on words. “If our business doesn’t include them, then it doesn’t. But the show is not about them. You know what I mean? It’s about life and sports. Combination.”
