So did the rapper actually head home after seeing the pic go viral?

"Practice ended early," he joked on the radio show.

West also explained that he considers himself an artist, and that his leading lady is the epitome of beautyl in his eyes.

He recalled the time when CR editor Carine Roitfeld told him at the engagement party that Kim is in the business of beauty.

"She's talented at being beautiful," he added.

But West doesn't let the public's opinion of Kimye rain on his parade too much.

"This is what's right, and this is what I should be doing," he said firmly.

Later on in the show, he shared a few hints about his forthcoming nuptials and couldn't stop gushing about his future wife.

"I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her," he admitted. "Kim and I are the perfect balance."
