Kanye West aka Ye has a thing for British Princess Kate Middleton. It is a fact now that the American rapper is not the one who shies from speaking his mind. Thus, it should not come as a surprise that there was a time when the award-winner singer did not hold himself back from putting the Princess of Wales on a pedestal. West admired Middleton in 2012 so much that he wanted his now ex-wife Kim Kardashian to dress up like Her Royal Highness.
