I believe the answer is:

awe-struck

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stunned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'kanye maybe getting into a fight' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'fight' could be 'ruck' (I've seen this before) and 'ruck' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'west' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
