Kanye West has compared himself to Will Ferrell's character Buddy from the Christmas classic, Elf. You know, the happy-go-lucky benevolent man-child who just loves Christmas and candy and well, everything. Yep, Kanye thinks he's just like him.

Speaking to Vanity Fair, the rapper - who recently debuted his fashion collection, Yeezy 2, with Adidas at New York Fashion Week - apologised to some designers who were annoyed when his last-minute show clashed with lots of others.

He said:

"I totally apologise to any of those designers and anyone that wanted that slot. I would love to send them some flowers or maybe wear a sweatshirt if that could help to make up for it. A lot of times I feel like Will Ferrell in the movie *Elf.* You know this big guy that wants to [join in] and his hands are a little bit too big...

"I could just say please forgive me if I ever step on any toes, because there's nothing that I would ever want to do or say that would take away from any designer, that would take away from anyone's work or what they're working so hard on."

Elsewhere in the interview he told the high-fashion magazine that sweatshirts are "f**king important". He also wants clothes to "almost be invisible, to be one with the personality".

He added:

"You know when you see people's dogs look like them? I want people's clothes to look like them"

Also, good news, Kanye is STILL running for president in 2020, although he doesn't like the idea of having to compete with anyone, like a traditional election. Of course he doesn't.

He explained: "When I run for president, I'd prefer not to run against someone.

"I would be like, 'I want to work with you'. As soon as I heard [Republican candidate] Ben Carson speak, I tried for three weeks to get on the phone with him. I was like, this is the most brilliant guy. And I think all the people running right now have something that each of the others need.

"But the idea of this separation and this gladiator battle takes away from the main focus that the world needs help and the world needs all the people in a position of power or influence to come together."

So kinda like a superband? A political McBusted, right?

In between his fashion collections and plans to become the most powerful man on the planet, Kanye is STILL working on that next album, called Swish.

Despite releasing single All Day back in March, Yeezy admits the next album still needs another year, and might not even be ready then. He described it as "a sonic landscape, a two-year painting".

Just make sure the paint dries before you stick it in the CD player, eh Kanye?
