Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are one of the most famous couples in the world right now, something the rapper is keenly aware of. But, after playing the Friend Zone for so long, he's not prepared to take his relationship for granted. In fact, he's gone in completely the opposite direction - he can't STOP boasting about his wife-to-be!
"No one is looking at what Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day"
In a revealing interview with Ryan Seacrest. Kanye explained that Kimmy K is "the most intriguing woman" in the world and WAY more interesting than Michelle Obama. As well as, you know, a few extra bit and pieces about how he and his girl are victims of classism.
Check it out:
"Now for me, what I want to create isn’t about black and white, but the reason why I’m not able to create what I want to create is about being black and is about classism. And that’s that wall when I took [Kim] to the Met Ball and they put it up on Vogue.com and tried to say she wasn’t there because they didn’t want a reality show girl there."
"And classism has been going on before racism ... No, we’re classist. We have our cool table. We got our house in the Hamptons. We got our boat, and we got our ticket to the Met Ball … And there’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue."
"She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like every day ... and collectively we’re the most influential with clothing."
"No one is looking at what Obama is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day. [Former French Vogue editor] Carine Roitfeld supports my girl. That's a breakthrough. There's a wall of classism that we are breaking through."
Just… yes. We actually think Michelle Obama has a lot of people looking at her outfits (she is the First Lady of America, after all), but whatever. Let's get to the cute stuff - why is Kanye so happy about life with Kim?
"People can say fame is a curse and fame is a drug, but it’s learning how to handle that drug and how to handle the high. A lot of people … crash and burn and … having someone to hold onto really helps a lot."
"I’m around her because she’s awesome and she looks amazing and she’s a sweet person"
"Having someone who you can talk to and doesn’t want you just for your money or to be famous… Kim is definitely not around me to be famous and I’m not around her to be. I’m around her because she’s awesome and she looks amazing and she’s a sweet person."
He added: "It’s an unfair level of awesomeness in one person to be that smart, to be that nice to be … blatantly fine as hell. Like, one of the most beautiful people of all time. She’s not hard to wake up to.”
That's actually pretty sweet, isn't it? If you forget all the stuff about them being the pinnacle of fashion and cooler than the Obamas, this interview is actually a really nice insight into why Kimye work so well together.
