Like so many wannabe actors before him, it being widely reported that Kanye West was willing to make a move into adult entertainment to launch his acting career:
“I know people will find that as another thing to hate me on, but f*#& it. I’m open to doing porn. Hell, I’ll even do bisexual scenes – myself, another man and a woman, or just me and two women.”
“I know people will find that as some weird shit, but I am who I am.”
This probably follows the statement Kanye made about wanting to have less fans in order to be able to pose nude. He didn’t explain the logic, just expressed the desire. I can’t explain it for you, I have no insight into Kanye’s mind. It turns out that Kanye isn’t publicly expressing an interest in adult entertainment at this stage, it was just the result of an elaborate internet game of telephone:
Yesterday, an anonymous poster on the website AllHipHop.com launched a thread containing what he claimed were quotes from an interview West did with “writer David Watts”. Several adult websites picked up the rumor yesterday, including AVN; Hush Hush Entertainment, the producers of the popular “Blackzilla” line, even issued a press release to offer West a starring role in their flagship line.
The AllHipHop.com hater tripped up when he attributed the West quotes to a magazine which has never run any such interview with West and never employed a writer by the name of “David Watts”. The West camp today confirmed the rumors are fake, and the AllHipHop thread was yanked from the site.
AVN ran the West story following its appearance on other adult sites, and regrets the error. Hush Hush has issued a retraction regarding the phony magazine source, but says its offer to West still stands.
Kanye doesn’t seem too bothered by the offer, and isn’t going to take it up.
He’d also like you to remind you that he’s not arrogant, okay?
If there’s one quality that has been ascribed to ‘Brand Kanye,’ it is arrogance, with many taking offense at what they see as West’s outspoken over-confidence. West, on the other hand, does not believe that the pride he takes in his work should be taken as arrogant.
“Like all these people are like he’s so arrogant, blah, blah, blah,” he explains. “I’m not arrogant, I’m just truthful. When I talk about myself, there are millions of people that love me, and I just agree with them.”
You know Kanye, that still sounds pretty arrogant to me. Here’s a secret – just because we bought your album doesn’t mean we ‘love’ you, okay? I know that women’s magazines the world over tell us confidence is sexy, and it is, but there’s a fine line between ‘sexy confident’ and ‘ranting douchebag’.
