Kanye West continues to promote Kim Kardashian in another ridiculous interview, likening her to Marilyn Monroe and as a bigger deal than Kate Upton.

Or Michelle Obama, for that matter.

Sopping by Power 105’s Breakfast Club, the rapper gave yet another wide-ranging, ridiculous interview and did not hold back when it came to …

The Hollywood Gossip Logo

Being an icon in the age of celeb gossip: "I have a love-hate relationship with the paparazzi, but actually I love them because they are empowering us."

"They are empowering us over Vanity Fair that want to say that Kate Upton is Marilyn Monroe. Kate Upton ain’t Marilyn Monroe, Kim is Marilyn Monroe."

"Don’t nobody care about what Obama wearing. Do you care about Vogue? Do you read that? I don’t care what position anybody got. You are either helping me or hurting me."

"No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."

 

North West’s status among the global elite: "My daughter is in a position of a level of royalty like the prince and princess in London."

His reputation as a bad boy and its potential impact: "If [Kim Kardashian and I] were to break up, I’d be the one that’s looked at as an a–hole."

His inspiration: "There wouldn’t be no ‘N—as in Paris’ without Lenny Kravitz, because he was the first n—a in Paris. Lenny has the best taste and the dopest crib."

His limitations in fashion: "You ain’t spent $13 million of your own money trying to empower. We are all slaves, we have all experienced [being pressured]."

"This is nothing but a moment out of the movie Glory."

"I’m the Tupac of product. You’re gonna see I’m better than Ralph Lauren, you’re gonna see that I’m gonna be bigger than H&M, bigger than Louis Vuitton."

Being a cultural visionary: "People looked at that interview from 10 years ago and said, ‘I loved him back then.’ People didn’t love it back then though."

"I was speaking to the future. I’m 10 years ahead mentally."

Yeah. Just another quotable day in the life of ‘Ye.
