Kim Kardashian sharing nude selfies is like Adele singing, Kanye West has said.

Reality star Kim’s revealing selfies and photo shoots have gained viral fame across the world, but her biggest fan is her husband.

The rapper told Harper’s Bazaar: “I love her nude selfies. Like, I love the ones from the side, the back ones, and the front. I just love seeing her naked; I love nudity.

“And I love beautiful shapes. I feel like it’s almost a Renaissance thing, a painting, a modern version of a painting.

“I think it’s important for Kim to have her figure. To not show it would be like Adele not singing.”

Kanye also revealed he used to take his own naked selfies.

He said: “I used to do nude selfies in my single days. You’d get a good cock shot here and there. Gotta keep it rock ‘n’ roll.”

In the aftermath of the couple’s public spat with Taylor Swift about the lyrics to Kanye’s song Famous, the two declined to name a favourite Taylor song.

“For me? I don’t have one,” Kanye said, while Kim added: “I was such a fan of hers.”

In a joint interview with the magazine, Kanye also denied being a thinker.

“Here’s something that’s contrary to popular belief: I actually don’t like thinking,” he said.

“I think people think I like to think a lot. And I don’t. I do not like to think at all.”

In a special photo shoot for the September issue captured by global fashion director Carine Roiteld and fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld, the couple are shown kissing and posing together.
