Kanye West Responds to Jay Z, Beyonce Skipping Wedding
Kanye West is finally responding to questions about how he felt when his close friend Shawn "Jay Z" Carter skipped out on his wedding to Kim Kardashian.
Kardashian, the 33-year-old reality television star, married the father of her child and rap mogul Kanye West, 37, in Italy last May. Beyonce, the 32-year-old singer, is good friends with West's friend and longtime collaborator Jay Z, but the couple missed the highly publicized wedding that took place in Florence, Italy.
While Beyonce posted a congratulatory Instagram message in honor of the newlyweds on the day of the famed wedding ceremony, many speculated about why she and West's longtime friend missed the reception. In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, West finally addressed the issue.

"All that, I wouldn't even speak on. It doesn't even matter to me whatsoever, who would show up," West told GQ. "Because the most important person to show up there, to me, was Kim. And that's all that matters to me."
He went on to speak about all of the important people, like former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld, who were in attendance.
"But the fact that these other people showed up that are from such different worlds but have done such dynamic things— they're all, in a way, equal to what Kim has done in TV or what I had done in music," West said in the publication. "I was so moved that I just wanted people to stop and think they weren't sitting at a table full of fashion people, they weren't sitting at a table full of celebrities, they weren't sitting at a table full of movie directors. It really was a representation of the way we receive information today, post-Internet."
Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriarch, previously spoke about the famous couple's absence from the high profile event.
"There was so much commotion and excitement, I never really gave that a second thought," Jenner told Australian breakfast radio co-hosts Kyle and Jackie O previously. "If you had been there, you would have thought that was the last thing on anyone's mind."
