One controversial rap figure is being converted into emoticon form with this celebrity emoji app.
The Kanye West 'Yemoji App,' while not an official release from the rapper himself, uses the various facial expressions of Mr. West over time as expressive messages in a texting setting. Emojis have more recently become a vital part of the online and social texting experience. Expressing yourself as a millennial almost requires some sort of animation as accompaniment with text to fully get your message across.
'Yeezus' is portrayed in various forms, including the infamous masks used during his 2013/2014 tour, his serious expressions that have been caught at basketball games or even the rare occasion where he's caught smiling. Currently only available on the iPhone, this celebrity emoji app will have to do while fans eagerly anticipate his next album, SWISH.
