Kanyes reluctant smile at the Met Gala is a mood

Kanye West, we love to see you smile.

The rapper made an appearance at the Met Gala on Monday, where all eyes were on the pink carpet, thanks to the outfits worn by the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Billy Porter, which understandably, consumed most of the chatter around the event.

Despite the attention mostly being elsewhere, Kanye was spotted by cameras smiling off to the side, although he doesn’t look too impressed while doing it. Of course, it’s since become a meme.

Now, Kanye’s somewhat reluctant smile can be used to mean all sorts of things, like when you’re forced to smile for random relatives, or running into people that you’d rather not.

It’s the smile for all awkward occasions.
