Kanye doesn’t like book interviews, either

A lot of bookish types were annoyed when rapper, producer, professional spoilt brat, and now author Kanye West claimed to be a “proud non-reader” in a recent interview. We’re guessing, however, that more than a few book tour-weary authors will offer up a quiet hallelujah at the sentiment West expresses at the end of a typically tense interview with Entertainment Weekly:

You know what I don’t like about the continuous questions about elaborating, is I’m not trying to give someone else a book to write. The book is itself. I just want to use this opportunity to explain to people why they need to buy this book. That’s what happens. Why elaborate?

    It helps to be stupid if you want to get rich and famous in today’s society.
