He continued: "Our love story's a love story for the ages. I felt like when we first got together, it was like a Romeo and Juliet kinda thing where it's like she's a reality star and I'm a rapper, and people talking about how our brands connect and what doesn't fit and I'm just so tired of the conversation of brands.

"Why don't we start the conversation with love? Why don't we start the conversation with God? Why don't we start this conversation with family, instead? It's not about branding at a certain point."

West went on to gush: "OK, ladies and gentlemen - all barber shops, fashion designers, architects, corner stores, Wall Street, all over the world - y'all acting like this ain't the most beautiful woman of all time!"
