New Delhi, Jan 16 : US rapper Kanye West, who is well known for his dapper dress sense, has revealed that he picks up clothes tips from gay people.

The musician admitted that he takes fashion inspiration from the homosexuals he meets, but sometimes his intentions are mistaken, reports China Daily.

"Gays know how to dress but you got to peep at them really quick because if they see you looking at them they might think you''re looking at them in another way, so you have to keep looking away. If they catch you staring it''s like, ''No dog, I''m looking at the gear,''" West said.

"People always try to discredit gays altogether but they really know how to dress. They dress good. Gays know how to dress. Because you can dress good don''t make you gay," he added.

West said in a video posted online that he also takes fashion tips from Japanese people because they "know how to dress too". (ANI)
