A Brief History of Kanye West Falling Asleep in Public

Suffice it to say it’s a full-time job to be Kanye Omari West, who once called himself “the greatest artist of all time.”

Between his presidential ambitions, fashion ventures, and of course, his music, being Yeezy is tiring, so it’s no wonder that Mr. West is not above casually catching a quick wink where he can get it — whether that’s at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards or as he did on Monday, snoozing on a park bench during an outing with his family.
