Go West!

There's no doubt that Kanye West is the epitome of manliness. He literally sweats testosterone and his first words were probably 'Grrr, I'm a tiger'. It's clear though that he is in touch with his feminine side (or his 'bitch' as he probably refers to it). As if protesting too much in an interview with Sway, Kanye declared that he is "secure in his manhood", perhaps as a riposte to certain comments about his sexuality made by that naughty 50 Cent.

Fiddy has long joked about Kanye's choice of wardrobe (not a euphemism) and even seemed to be referring to Kanye in his song 'Play This On The Radio' with the line "That faggot hot" (though Fiddy did later grin and tell MTV News "I never said Kanye's name." Ooh, get him. Kanye hit back by hissing,

 

"I'm so secure with my manhood. And that's the reason why I can go to Paris, why I can have conversations with people who are blatantly gay. 'Cause I used to be scared to talk to a gay person. It's designers that's scared of people in hip-hop. And in hip hop, there's people — and let's not even say scared like homophobic — but they're scared of the way people gonna look at them. If you see a person be like, "I don't wanna stand next to Marc Jacobs 'cause I don't want that to bear on me because I'm just so cool."

 

Wise words for a change. Why shouldn't Kanye let the feminine part of himself out sometimes? Here's why - he goes on a camp rampage.

 

"I've been collecting all of the freshest stuff that's rainbows — Denver Nuggets jerseys, BAPE shoes, Nikes with rainbows on 'em — and saying, "Man I think as straight men we need to take the rainbow back because it's fresh." It looks fresh - the idea of colors, life and colors and stuff, I mean how is that a gay thing? Colors? Having a lot of colors is gay?"

 

Well, yes.
