Kanye West Harper’s Bazaar Magazine Angel Painting Blog - Kanye West did some angry blogging again to attack Harper’s Bazaar that insulted his angel painting on the ceiling of his home.Harper’s Bazaar wrote:
“And on the dining-room ceiling, what looks like an ode to the Sistine Chapel: a painting of West flying among angels by artist Ernie Barnes. ‘I asked for angels, and he put me in there,’ West explains a bit bashfully.”
In a blog entry posted Sunday, West responded with:
To put it short as Kanyely 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.
This is one whiny bitch.
