Kanye West has finally answered one of the most frequently asked
questions about himself– why doesn’t ‘Ye ever smile? Whenever
Mr. West is photographed by the paparazzi, the man is scowling. No LOL or
smiley face in sight. Even when he’s running the town with wife Kim Kardashian
or baby North West, there doesn’t seem to be any joy in his face. What’s the matter Kanye?
During the Daily
Front Row‘s inaugural Fashion Los Angeles Award show this
past week, Kanye took the stage to present an award to one of his greatest
inspirations, Milk Studios founder Mazdack Rassi. In his impassioned speech he
explains why he keeps a mean mug for the camera saying,
“Back when I was working
on Yeezus, I saw this book from the 1800s and it was velvet-covered with
brass and everything… I looked at all these people’s photos and they look so
real and their outfits were incredible and they weren’t smiling and people, you
know the paparazzi, always come up to me, ‘Why you not smiling?’ and I think,
not smiling makes me smile…When you see paintings in an old castle,
people are not smiling cause it just wouldn’t look as cool.”
Well there you have it folks. Kanye doesn’t smile because
smiling isn’t cool.
