Kanye West smiles as he checks out models in college fashion show... before giving a speech to graduating class

 

Kanye West isn’t known for smiling but he was seen smiling as he checked out sexy models on the runway at a fashion show at the Los Angeles Trade Tech College in LA on Friday May 29th. After the show, the rapper delivered a commencement speech to the graduating class.

‘Its a tough world out there, you’re gonna prepare yourself for politics, bad bosses, hating employees and usually when you’re the absolute best you get hated on the most,’ he stated.

‘Even for me as a successful musician to make a transition was really all but impossible. People always try to box you for what they know you best for.’

The 21-time Grammy winner completed his community service hours at the college, and was not ordered by court to appear for graduation.  More photos below…

Once the fashion show was over, it was time for Kanye to speak to the students

‘If it’s in your gut, if it’s in your soul, there’s no worldly possessions that should come between you and your expression,’ he continued during his uplifting oration.

‘I always had to be accepted to love, and I empathize with anyone in this era whose ever loved fashion.’
