Kanye West in Balmain Homme

Kanye West hit the stage with best friend Jay-Z at the Museum of Modern Art’s annual 2011 Party in the Garden once again in his favorite pair of Balmain Homme jeans in New York. I never would have thought I would ever be a fan of Kanye in any aspect whatsoever, let alone in his style. But his style has become a lot less extravagant and more relaxed. It sort of reminds me of my own actually, just sticking to the basics and adding other things to make them different.

Though Kanye might have gained a fan through me, he may have lost one through ex-girlfriend Amber Rose. She recently replied to the comments that many are saying she has downgraded from Kanye to her current boyfriend Wiz Kalifa in the issue of King Magazine that she graces. She says, “There’s no comparison in personalities. You know when people say how do you go from Kanye to Wiz Khalifa, that’s a downgrade. But the only question I can ask them is: have you ever dated Kanye? Because I have, and believe me, I did not downgrade at all. Not in any aspect, at all.” What are your thoughts on Ms. Rose’s statement?
