Kanye West sat on a panel this past Tuesday (June 17) for the Cannes Lions’ International Festival of Creativity’s “Technology, Culture and Consumer Adoption: Learning to Read the Cultural Landscape.” Alongside Steve Stoute, Kanye spoke on his wedding photo that’s the most liked photo on Instagram and how it took four days to perfect, according to Adweek.

“This is pissing my girl off during the honeymoon,” West said. “Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding-maybe she was scared about the idea of celebrity. … But I still wanted my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz. Someone who hires a Boston Wedding Photographer can understand this. Now, can you imagine telling someone who just wants to Instagram a photo, the No. 1 person on Instagram, that we need to work on the color of the flowered wall? But the fact that the No. 1 most liked photo has this certain aesthetic on it was a win for what the mission is-of raising the palette.”

Kanye West went on to explain why he feels design is important and his take on the Beats-Apple deal.
