Status Symbol: "Make American Great Again" hat

# data[].attributes.body
Kanye frequently wears a pro-Trump hat that's widely recognized and worn by many Americans. This is a symbol of his political beliefs and also a symbol that he doesn't care what the public thinks of him, as the public generally looks down on outspoken Trump reporters. Because the media mainly demonizes Donald Trump, and most actors and musicians are outspoken against Donald Trump, Kanye brings a sense of rebellion when wearing this hat as he does at NBA games, televised interviews and public appearances.

As mentioned earlier, Kanye designed his own line of shoes called Yeezys. These shoes are worn by Kanye, his entire family including the Jenners and their children, and those of the public who have the money and connections to get their hands on them. These shoes are a symbol of his wealth and fame. The expensive price tag on the shoes, and therefor the difficulty in attaining these shoes, shows that his designs are high fashion, high quality and are very exclusive. So when Kanye and his family wear all styles and colors of his shoes, the same impression is reflected upon Kanye.

Kanye has an achieved status as a philanthropist. Kanye and his mother founded the "Kanye West Foundation" in Chicago in 2003.

This achieved status of Kanyes has required little effort on his behalf. It's likely that he spends more energy declining acting jobs than accepting. Nevertheless, Kanye has acted in a few films including Cruel Summer and The Black Mamba. Kanye is expected to conduct himself cooperatively on set and act according to his role on camera. He is also expected to attend the releases of his movies and advertise them as well.

Kanye started his shoe and clothing line, Yeezy, in February of 2013. He is expected to create and produce fashionable clothing and shoes, as well  as release his products regularly.  Kanyes enacts a more mild and professional role performance as a fashion designer, compared to his outspokenness as a musician. This is likely in order to endorse a professional and responsible reputation in order to earn respect and appreciation for his clothing line, and probably to satisfy those he's partnered with at Adidas to produce his clothing line as well. This status is certainly an achieved one. Though it would be super cool to be born with a fashion line.

The status as a father is certainly an achieved status for this celebrity. The public knows that it was no accident that Kim Kardashian got pregnant; two of her three children were birthed by surrogates. As a father, Kanye must spend time with his children in order to raise them. Here, Kanye may experience role conflict between his roles as a musician and a father. Kanye is expected by the public to spend much time at performances, releases and events. Both the public and Kim Kardashian expect Kanye to spend lots of time caring for his children. This creates a time budgeting conflict for Kanye.

Kanyes role as a renowned musician is undoubtedly his master status because his widely popular music is usually the first thing people think of after hearing his name. Because almost nobody except Kanyes children are born into fame, and Kanye worked his whole life to achieve his musical legend, this status is ascribed. As such a widely known musician, Kanye is expected to release music on a regular basis and gain the publics approval. Kanye seldom meets these expectations; he often pushes back album release dates multiples times and shares unpopular opinions with the media, seemingly with no care of the publics backlash. Kanye clearly experiences role strain here, and he's very vocal about it. In the song No More Parties in L.A., Kanye says, "Every agent I know, know I hate agents. I'm too black, I'm too vocal, I'm too flagrant." Agents that are suppose to manage his image as a musician expect him to do the exact opposite of what he wants to. Ironically, most could agree that these behaviors, like untimely music releases and stating his absurd opinions, are an essential aspect to Kanyes exceptional status and widely known fame.
