Grammy Award-winning rapper and producer Kanye West caused quite a stir in the publication world last week when he told New York's Daily News that he planned to charge magazines to appear on their covers in the future. West said, "These magazines make money from ads and subscriptions...So if you're putting me on the cover and people are buying your magazine because of me, why shouldn't I get paid to be on that cover? You are going to have to pay me to do magazine covers now!"

While the editors of magazines such as GQ and Ebony found West's statement humorous and ridiculous, allhiphop.com reports that Playgirl magazine is interested in getting West to pose nude for an undisclosed fee.

At press time, West's representatives had not responded to the offer. In related news, West is currently working on his new album, Late Registration, but he will be releasing one more single and video, "Spaceship," from his double-platinum debut, the College Dropout, in the coming weeks.
