Just in case you missed it, here is the April/May edition of Complex featuring ashy albino Kanye West. Shot by music video director Chris Milk, ‘Ye talks about self branding, fashion, and rolling with men in tights.

Why do you think there’s such a fixation on your sexuality?
Kanye West: I really think it’s because society tries to dictate the way a guy is supposed to dress and the way a guy is supposed to act, and I refuse to conform. A lot of these dudes would never be accused of being gay just because they all look exactly alike. If people could just realize the amount of mundaneness and followers that lack creativity… I think people’s mentality is like, Only gay people are that creative. And it’s true there are a lot of gay people who are incredible creative minds, but there are straight people who are incredible creative minds—and there’s gay people who can’t dress or create at all, too. Closed-minded gay people probably say they dress “straight.”

Uh, whatever nigga. The issue hits newsstands April 7th, but the cover story is already available to peruse online.

Woooha reports that Beyonce Mrs. Carter, will be featured in the upcoming promotional campaign for Nintendo DS’ video game, “Rhythm Heaven.” Aside from Guitar Hero and Rock Band, music based games really dont go over so well. Just as long as it’s better than this, Bey should be able to advance to the next level.
