Kanye West took issue with a magazine cover that makes it appear as though he has grey hairs in his beard.
In a posting on his blog, the rap star ranted about his photo on the cover of Vibe magazine, comparing the effects in the picture to those used on Brad Pitt's character in the current film 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' that make the actor look extremely old.
"I DON'T HAVE GREY IN MY BEARD IN REAL LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" West wrote on his blog. "I'M ALL DOWN WITH BEINGS IN MY 30'S BUT DAAAAAAAAMN!!!! THIS IS SOME BENJAMIN BUTTON'S SHIT!"
You can view the photo and his critique of the magazine's design on Kanye West's blog now.
Meanwhile, West is set to weigh in on another type of design when he serves as judge of Wallpaper*'s Design Awards.
