He’s arrogant, he’s dating one of the most famous woman in the world and has a baby with a semi-ridiculous name Kanye West ticks all the boxes of celebrity stardom.
The reclusive star gives a rare insight into his chaotic life in a candid interview with W Magazine, talking about mother of his child Kim Kardashian, new chart-topping album Yeezus and his yet-to-be-seen sex tape.
Kanye has left the “pleasant smiles” of Los Angeles to relocate in Paris as he continues to pursue his obsession with fashion and his lavish property is a mash-up of modern interior design and architecture.
His creative side stems from his music to style choices and philosophical eloquence like a hip – yet mundane – Russell Brand.
During the interview the 36-year-old breaks into rants and poetic comparison that could only be conjured by a certain type of person.
In this case, a person who has titled their latest work of music Yeezus – a hybrid of Jesus and his nickname Yeezus – and describes it as a “one-man gangbang.”

His girlfriend Kim is often subject to debate and dispute about her lifestyle choices but Kanye hits back at the critics, telling W Magazine: “Nobody can tell my girl what to do. She just needed to be given some platforms of information to work from.”
It’s widely reported that Kanye is styling his beau - who gave birth to their daughter North last week - and he confirms: “For her to take that risk in front of the world, it just shows you how much she loves me.”
While it is no secret Kanye doesn’t want to be a part of the media frenzy surrounding Kim’s family he did make a guest appearance on reality TV show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
When he was quizzed about his cameo, Kanye explained: “Oh, that’s just all for love. It’s simply that.
“At a certain point, or always, love is more important than any branding, or any set of cool people, or attempting to impress anyone.
"Because true love is just the way you feel. Thoughts and feelings can disagree sometimes.”
Kim found fame when a home video was leaked online with her ex-boyfriend Ray-J.
Last year, a mystery person threatened to go public with a recording Kanye made of himself with an unidentified woman in a hotel room.
But not one to come second best, ahem, Kanye confesses he was on the verge of releasing his own copy just to maintain control of the situation and neutralise any threat of extortion.
“For the most part, I’d rather people have one of those home videos than some of the paparazzi photos that get published. At least I recorded the shit myself,” he says.
