Kanye West's personal blog has become a daily destination for many, for the rapper's taste in furniture, architecture, music, and even women.
He's long denied using a ghost blogger, as he's been accused of in the past. But, with his constant busy schedule and hectic traveling itinerary, how does a celebrity update a blog several times a day?
Well, it's simple, he has employees. Despite denying it in the past, the rapper recently admitted to NYMag.com that he, in deed, employees bloggers to do his online updates.
"It might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day. I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want -- it's just like how a designer would work," he explains. "I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip -- go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information. And then they send it to me, and I get like 80 e-mails, and I have to check and go through them.
"And sometimes I'll have my own stuff where I'll just be in a cool place, like if I had my camera right now, I'd like photograph this stuff and go home and be really excited to blog it. You know, cause I'm in cool places all the time. So it's a great outlet, and I'm glad so many people are reacting to it. And it's another opportunity to present design and my opinion of the world and what I think is cool," West continued.
So, there you go, Kanye's keys to running a successful blog are: have a camera with you at all times, email access, and two staffers.
Come on, did you really think Kanye updated KanyeUniverseCity.com all on his own?
