Kim Kardashian's Most Instagrammed Photo Took Four Days to Perfect

Never one to adhere to the term 'better seen than heard', Kanye West revealed the truth behind the most-liked photo on Instagram, which his wife Kim Kardashian posted sometime after their Florence wedding.

The photograph, which was the first photo released after the wedding, quickly became the most-liked photo on the app, with over 2.29 million likes and nearly 52,000 comments.

However, Kanye revealed that the image was apparently not as candid as it seemed. After renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz reportedly dropped out of photographing their wedding, it was up to Kanye West and new bride Kim Kardashian to fix their own photos.

"Let me tell you something about that kiss photo that my girl put up ... this was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon, she was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding." The 37-year-old egocentric rapper stated.

According to Kanye, the couple wanted the photo to look exactly as if Annie Leibovitz had taken it so they sat and worked on it for four days in order to get the color of the background flowers just right.

Of course, Kanye's rant didn't end there. He went on to talk about how important Kim Kardashian is to the internet saying:

"Can you imagine telling someone who wants to just Instagram a photo, who's the No. 1 person on Instagram, 'We need to work on the color of the flower wall,' or the idea that it's a Givenchy dress, and it's not about the name Givenchy, it's about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci - and how important Kim is to the Internet."

But perhaps the photo going on to become Instagram's most-liked image will show Kanye that he and his reality TV star wife's pointless dedication were not in vain.
