Playgirl Offers Kanye West A Paid Magazine Spot

LATEST: KANYE WEST's demand to be paid to appear in magazine photoshoots appears to have worked - as long as he's willing to strip naked.

PLAYGIRL magazine have offered to pay the THROUGH THE WIRE rapper to pose nude.

West outraged magazine bosses by insisting he should be paid, even though his appearance in glossy magazines boosts his profile and helps publicise his material.

He said, "These magazines make money from ads and subscriptions. So if you're putting me on the cover and people are buying your magazine because of me, why shouldn't I get paid to be on that cover? You are going to have to pay me to do magazine covers now."

Most magazines scoffed at the suggestion, but Playgirl's MICHELLE ZIPP welcomes West's demands, saying, "I would certainly consider paying Kanye West. But he would need to take his clothes off."
