Kanye West: 'I Want To Pose Naked'

US rapper Kanye West has said he plans to pose naked at some point in his career.

West said he wanted the act to challenge people’s perceptions of black and American culture.

“It's like Björk. If she wanted to pose naked, you'd be like, 'Oh, that's Björk.' But if I wanted to pose naked, people would draw all type of things into it,” West told Vibe Magazine.

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

“I break every rule and mentality of hip-hop, of black culture, of American culture."

West's revelation formed part of his response to a question about whether he was comfortable with fame.

The rapper, who released his fourth album '808s and Heartbreak' last November', said he wanted to continue making popular music, but would like a smaller following.

"I want the freedom of having less fans. It's like the freedom of having less money. If you have less money, you have less responsibility," West said.

He explained that by “less fans” he meant a core fan base of 20,000, as opposed to 100,000 "fly-by-night" followers.
