Kanye Wants To Pose Nude

It might be surprising that Kanye West wants to remove his clothes for a nude photo shoot, considering how much he loves fashion.

West told Vibe magazine that he plans to work out for a few months prior to the shoot so he can ensure he'll look good enough.

"I definitely feel, like, in the next however many years, if I work out for two months, that I'll pose naked.

"If [Bjork] wanted to pose naked, [the public and the media would] be like, 'Oh, that's Bjork.' But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all types of things into it."

We're pretty sure the media would make a big deal of it if Bjork posed naked, but anyway...

West wouldn't be the first rapper to pose in the buff. Big Daddy Kane did it first with Madonna and supermodel Naomi Campbell, according to HipHopDX.com. Ice-T has also posed nude for an album cover.

West and Fall Out Boy played the Youth Inaugural Ball at Washington D.C.'s Hilton Washington hotel to celebrate U.S. president Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday.

"My mama would be so proud right now to see her baby boy performing the number one song in the country for our new African American president," West told the crowd, according to VH1.com.

West's mother, Donda West, passed away from complications from cosmetic surgery in 2007.
