He's one of the most talked about men in the world. And in a new interview Kanye West offers his side of the story when it comes to his now infamous 45 minute wedding speech, why he wanted more nudity in his Bound 2 music video, and his life as a father.
The 37-year-old also gave his thoughts on why he thinks everyone in the world needs some Kim Kardashian skills to win at life.
The rapper graces the cover of the August issue for GQ magazine and provides one of his most candid interviews to date.
Striking a steely gaze on the cover, Kanye smoulders in a deep V-neck T-shirt and gold chain wrapped around his neck as he sports a brown coat.
While an inside photo sees the Yeezus artist don his now infamous leather jogging trousers, a knit jumper, and a long trench coat.
Speaking of how his 33-year-old wife has helped him in both his life and career, Kanye said: 'What I had to learn from Kim is how to take more of her advice and less of other people's advice.
'There's a lot of Kim K skills that were added. In order to win at life, you need some Kim K skills, period.'
Kanye also defended his 45 minute wedding speech, where he was claimed to have spent the entire time 'toasting himself': 'What I talked about in it was the idea of celebrity, and celebrities being treated like blacks were in the '60s, having no rights, and the fact that people can slander your name. I said that in the toast.
'And I had to say this in a position where I, from the art world, am marrying Kim. And how we're going to fight to raise the respect level for celebrities so that my daughter can live a more normal life. She didn't choose to be a celebrity. But she is. So I'm going to fight to make sure she has a better life.'
