I’m not 100% sure when Kanye West became the black James Franco–in that he’ll literally do anything he’s asked to do, even a guest skit on General Hospital–but here we are. Last night, the first ever Pornhub awards took place (I have a lot of questions about this, which I’ll get to), and guess who served as the creative director for the awards show?
Kanye. It was Kanye. You read the fucking title of this blog.
First and foremost, back in MY day (aka the 90s), they had porn awards and they were the AVN Awards and that’s when giving awards for porn made sense because there were real porn stars, you know? Like these people were professionals. Like Jenna Jameson! Now, literally anyone with a smart phone and a wild side can star in porn, so how exactly do they decide on who gets what awards when there is literally just an endless amount of content?! Do people have to campaign their porn videos, or enter them for consideration a la the Oscars? Are there standout actors and actresses anymore? Inquiring minds want to know!
Anyway, the whole thing is all very random and very Kanye. Kanye’s genius artistic direction involved awards shaped like dildos (dildos for porn awards? Groundbreaking, Kanye. And here I thought spandex shorts and rebranding the Kardashians were your greatest talents), having some awards be presented by…get this…NUDE presenters, and the rest of the presenters dressed in Yeezy. It was all golden dildos, naked chicks, and overpriced spandex shorts at the Pornhub awards, so basically a typical Thursday for the Kardashian-West family.
Kanye also premiered his new music video with Lil Pump, “I Love It”, at the awards show, and performed.
I mean…I don’t know. Kanye being the creative director of a porn awards ceremony makes more sense to me than there still being porn awards ceremonies so it’s whatever I guess?
