12 people Kanye West has compared himself to

10. Pablo Picasso

West made it clear that he respects the work of late artist Pablo Picasso with quotes like “no matter how they try to control you, or the mother**ker next to you tries to peer pressure you, you can do what you motherf**king want. I am Picasso.” However, that’s about all he made clear in this quote. It started out being an encouraging word for his fans, but it ended with Kanye pretty much praising…Kanye. Maybe West hasn’t yet mastered the art of complimenting and motivating someone else without making the conversation about him. With a second baby on the way, West had better start learning how to share.
