Kanye's beef with Harper's Bazaar not going to help LV collaboration

We all know how outspoken our favourite fashion-following rapper Kanye is, but taking on HB is not going to further his artistic aspirations. Apparently, the mag was doing a feature on his recently decorated home (or should I say, mansion) and came accross what appeared to be a ceiling mural of a winged Kanye in the heavens. I'm not taking sides here, but the story isn't exactly far-fetched considering its subject. And I do love Kanye. Here's what he had to say in response:

“To put it short as Kanye-ly possible (don’t mean to speak in third person)… Harper’s Bazaar came to my home, took pics, asked a lot of questions and then assumed the painting in my dining room was of me as an angel. This isn’t true and it bothered me greatly because people think I’m so so so cocky that I would have something like that. I’m sure it was an inside joke to everyone from the magazine in my home that day. People would come over my house after that and say, ‘I heard about this pic of you as an angel!’ I would have appreciated if Harper’s Bazaar would have put in some type of blurb to clear it up. I wanted people to see my home because I spent 2 years gutting it and was proud. I’m just a regular guy with cool stuff in his crib but instead I was made out to be Ben Stiller’s character in the movie Dodgeball with the huge pic of him wrestling a bull in his office. Why didn’t they write that my house had no pics of me, no plaques or awards, just art. I guess it’s bittersweet, you spend half your life trying to become larger than life and the other half trying to just live a real life again.”

Kanye, cocky?

I am thinking if he wants to make the most of his Louis Vuitton shoe collaboration, he may want to avoid public confrontations with important fashion publications in the future.
