Kayne West sat down with Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday night for an exceptionally candid, 21-minute-long interview in which ‘Ye made a puzzling case for his support of President Donald Trump that ultimately proved to be futile when pressed on actual issues. One of the funnier moments of the interview, however, came about when the late-night host grilled West on whether his attitude toward women has changed since having daughters.
It’s a question that could have gone either way, but Kayne was hilariously forthright with his response.
“Nah, I still look at Pornhub,” he said, to the immediate delight of both Kimmel and the audience. When asked what kind of stuff he’s into, West admitted that “Blacked” was his favorite category.
At that point Kimmel let him know that he didn’t really have to divulge this information, but ‘Ye not unfairly reasoned, “I mean, whats the point of being Kanye West if you can’t?” Mirroring his “own reality,” he admitted to “a lot of black on white, obviously.”
As it turns out, Pornhub was listening loud and clear.
Never to pass up on a good PR opportunity, the adult entertainment site relayed its appreciation to Kanye for his loyalty over the years. “A gift in the form of a free lifetime premium membership,” tweeted Pornhub ARIA, the company’s social media gal Friday. “Here’s to you, Ye.
We want to extend our appreciation to a Mr. @kanyewest for his loyalty to us over the years. A gift in the form of a free lifetime premium membership. Here's to you, Ye. https://t.co/1uarAl53xp cc: @jimmykimmel

Greg Lansky, the CEO of the film and photography studio Blacked, also expressed his gratitude for the shout out with a similar offer:

For his part, Kanye just seems to be enjoying the positive attention.

What’s unclear is whether Kim Kardashian is quite as thrilled with her husband’s candor, but we all know that’s never stopped him before. But then again, given the circumstances, Kanye’s response could have shaken out much, much worse for the reality TV queen.
