Kanye West is an Angry Angel

Kanye West is upset this time with Harper’s Bazaar for saying he has a painting of himself as an angel on the ceiling of his dining room. It’s easy to see the resemblance. West says on his blog:

To put it short as Kanyely possible(don’t mean to speak in third person)…. Harper’s Bazaar came to my home, took pics, asked a lot of questions and then assumed the painting in my dining room was of me as an angel. This isn’t true and it bothered me greatly because people think I’m so so so cocky that I would have something like that. I’m sure it was an inside joke to everyone from the magazine in my home that day. People would come over my house after that and say, " I heard about this pic of you as an angel!" I would have appreciated if Harper’s Bazaar would have put in some type of blurb to clear it up. I wanted people to see my home because I spent 2 years gutting it and was proud. I’m just a regular guy with cool stuff in his crib but instead I was made out to be Ben Stiller’s character in the movie ’Dodgeball’ with the huge pic of him wrestling a bull in his office. Why didn’t they write that my house had no pics of me, no plaques or awards, just art.

I guess it’s bittersweet, you spend half your life trying to become larger than life and the other half trying to just live a real life again.

Kanye has three things that make him who he is: anger, pride, and a huge EGO. He doesn’t need a bunch of pictures of himself, or awards scattered throughout his house, just a lot of mirrors.
