He wants to be a street thug, a minister, Gianni Versace, Donald Trump, and the next Elon Musk all at once. It’s strange
What exactly is "one of the bros"? Kanye is the one that gave Kim real legitimacy, to the extent she has any; not the other way around.
NP. I strongly disagree. While he was enormously popular in hip hop world, he had little reach beyond. I think she actually expanded his reach and gave HIM legitimacy outside of the music world.
Lol at "strongly disagree." Hate for you to just be finding out how out of the cultural know you have been all these years if you think Kanye only had reach within the "hip hop world."
Honestly what legitimacy to you think Kim gave to Kanye? In the fashion world, he'd already before 2010 become the first non-athlete to have a Nike shoe, designed and released a line of shoes with Louis Vuitton that debuted at Paris Fashion Week, and become friends with Anna Wintour, among other things. Five of his 6 pre-Kim albums debuted or reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, which for a hip-hop act at the time wasn't common. He had several number one Hot 100 singles and worked with massive non-hip-hop acts like Katy Perry, John Mayer, Elton John, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys, and he was set to co-headline a tour with Lady Gaga in 2009 but it was ultimately cancelled. Not to mention all the Grammy's and other accolades, and the media stunts that also helped catapult his celebrity.
Most of his post-Kim ventures have been duds besides for the Adidas deal, which had nothing to do with her but instead his already high status and the previous success and establishment of the Yeezy brand with Nike. All she did was make him into a tabloid news story. Sorry that's what it took for you to find out who he was, grandma.
