Kanye West recently said he never smiles because, uh, not smiling makes him smile.

But it seems his adorable daughter North also makes him flash his pearly whites, as we see in his new music video.

The 18-month-old stars in her daddy’s new video, for his latest track Only One and it’s Kanye West as you’ve never seen him before.

It looks like it was simply shot with a GoPro camera and features the dad and daughter duo on their own, walking on a rainy day.

Kanye and North are walking through a field holding hands, as Kanye singing words written from the point of view of his late mother Donda plays in the background.

One of the most touching scenes is North simply pointing to her father’s boots inquisitively.

Later, the obviously proud dad holds his baby girl in his arms and sings the lyrics to her.

Kanye insists Kim and North have mellowed him

It’s enough to remind you that Kanye isn’t one giant ego all of the time, especially when it comes to his family.

The 37-year-old premiered the video on The Ellen Show, and revealed how marriage to Kim Kardashian, 34, has mellowed him.

He said: “I have learned to shut up more. I think I’m a better human being because of [Kim] and my daughter.”

Interestingly, Kanye compared some of his famous outbursts to a toddler having a tantrum.

He said: “I think I was going through my version of my terrible twos. My daughter she wants to express herself but doesn’t have the words. For me, there’s so many things I want to do with film or with clothing, and I didn’t have the words or the resources or the backing.”

“I hate when I'm on a flight and I wake up with a water bottle next to me like oh great now I gotta be responsible for this water bottle”

In other words: responsibilities can fall upon us, whether we want them or not. And, while we may not like it, we have to face up to them and DEAL!

Would you believe in what you believed in if you were the only one who believed it?6 of 20

“Don’t ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids. Don’t try to antagonize me. Because you know what? It’s not safe for you in the zoo.”

Whether he's creating a complicated metaphor about celebrities being animals in cages for us all to stare at and be entertained by, or he's threatening us, Kanye's definitely got a way with words.

"One of the problems with being a bubbling source of creativity — it's like I'm bubbling in a laboratory, and if you don't put a cap on it, at one point it will, like, break the glass. If I can hone that… then I have, like, nuclear power, like a superhero, like Cyclops when he puts his glasses on."

With great power, comes great responsibility.

Just imagine if I woke up one day and I was whack. What would I do then?12 of 20
