Kanye West has undoubtedly had a very interesting and revealing year so far. From the birth of son Saint West to the madness surrounding his new album and clothing line, the rapper, designer, and self-professed genius isn’t really in the position to add more items to his already bloated itinerary.
But Kanye is no ordinary artist – and the need to stay relevant despite his frequent tweets that have lately suggested that perhaps the pressure of Keeping Up With The Kardashians is finally taking its toll – is never far from reach.
The creatively restless former protégé of Jay-Z announced via Twitter that he has decided to take the plunge by signing up with Instagram.
But the 38-year-old hubby of the woman who currently garners a whopping 63.5 million followers – making her the third most followed celeb on the image-driven platform – isn’t wiling to subject himself to the rules of the game.
West would very much appreciate being left to his own devices without the input of meddling fans or enemies. “I was thinking about getting an Instagram but only on one condition ….no one ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram…it’s my art.”
Based on his level of popularity and the irresistible need followers tend to harbor when it comes to freely expressing their opinions based on publicized mood boards – its safe to say that Kanye’s lifespan on Instagram will be short-lived.
Unless of course he develops a different personality, which would be tragic – because we love him, just the way he is.
Insecure genius and all!
