Kanye and silent are two words rarely used in the same sentence together when referring to the outspoken Mr West, however; it appears that he has stuck to his word (or lack there of) regarding his refusal to talk to the press. In the past, Kanye spoke about his distrust towards the media for forcing him to answer certain questions and twisting his words. Following his controversial interview on The Today Show back in November, Kanye implied on twitter that the media were attempting to set him up and consequently he will no longer do any interviews or deal with the press.
Kanye recently attended the George Condo “Mental States” exhibit to show support for the artist who designed the cover for his highly acclaimed album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”. Kanye was present for a brief interview between NY Mag’s Jamie Miles and George Condo regarding the albums art work however he refrained from muttering a single word.
Are you happy with the paintings George did of you?
[Kanye nods head yes.]
You are happy?
[Nods head.]
Would you make any changes if you were to do a self-portrait?
[Shakes head no.]
Are you mute tonight?
[Nods head.]
Do you want to do sign language?
[Nods head. Pretends to sign, then shakes our hand and walks away.]
How long do you reckon Kanye will last before interrupting his own silence…
