Kanye West Is Definitely Not the Biggest Angel In the Mural on His Ceiling

In the new issue of GQ, Kanye West claims that Harper’s Bazaar was incorrect when they reported that a large mural the rapper had commissioned for a ceiling in his Los Angeles home featured an image representing the rapper as an enormous angel surrounded by heavenly beings in the clouds. It’s all a mix-up, you see: West admits that the artist Ernie Barnes worked an image of himself into the painting, but he insists that he is not, in fact, the most prominent angel in the mural. Obviously! It’s not like he’s some kind of egomaniac or something! —Matthew Perpetua
