5'11james said on 14/Nov/25He needs an upgrade to 5’8.25 @Editor Rob. I think Ye would be identical in height with you and peak giant Jenny. Daniel Oh said on 10/Nov/25I saw him recently twice in Korea for his concert, and him and myself were close enough.I am 175~6cm like 5.9~10, so I give him about 5.8~9. Christopher Yoo said on 5/Oct/25Good example of a real 5’8. Guys that are only 5’6 that claim 5’8 may it look shorter than it really is. He isn’t short, just low average. Pretzels said on 18/Sep/25@Schizo Vision why not? Are you one of those woke cancellers? Kanye west hasnt even done anything wrong. And diddy is another story but so many other celebrities do bad things too behind the closed doors. Joe and hunter biden for example. Schizo Vision said on 29/Jun/25I don’t think he deserves to have a page on this site Rob - same with Diddy Com said on 9/May/25Rob, if he saw your site and saw you named him Kanye West, he’d be pissed😅 5ft 8 seems good though. Peter175 said on 4/May/25he has never looked under 5'8. he is closer to 174cm imo 5'11james said on 1/May/255’8.25Editor RobHe could be a good example of strong 5ft 8 range. viper said on 29/Apr/25Could be exactly 5-8 1/4 Heightologist 10 said on 27/Apr/25Looking at Kanye with guys like these political commentators and streamers he does look a solid 5’8. I would say Nick Fuentes - 5’8 maybe 5’8 1/4 Destiny (streamer) - 5’8 Sneako - 6’1 1/4 N3on - 5’10 looking at him next to Vitaly who’s 5’10.5, maybe 5’9 3/4 Click Here Abdul-177 said on 24/Sep/24Discord said on 9/Mar/23 Disliking someone doesn't mean you have to make him shorter than what he really is, lol. - Well, the average guess for his height is 172 cm anyway, and if I think he’s 171 , then it’s my opinion. Arch Stanton said on 15/May/23Ye has a type doesn't he, she could pass for Kim if she had long black hair! Short enough to make him feel tall! He sure remarried quickly, like Katie Price, almost like they're afraid of being alone! 57zain said on 14/May/23Hey Rob, Kanye recently got married to an Australian woman named Bianca Censori. Below is a picture of her with Kanye, wearing what looks to be 2" heels. How tall do you think she is? My personal guess would maybe be 5'2.5" - 5'3" Picture here: Click Here Editor RobBetween 5ft 2 and 3 seems a fair estimate, though maybe when they are posing together at an event it would become clearer which figure she's closer to. brien said on 24/Mar/23Kanye looks 5'10 in images but I think he might be 5'8.5 Jx2023 said on 14/Mar/23Hey Rob hope all is well!! I have a question. I just seen this short clip on YouTube of Kanye west and Jared leto and they look to be similar in height, Kanye edging him out a little presumably he is wearing I thicker shoe or boot. You have jared at 5'9 or and Kanye at 5'8. Would it be possible that jared is a closer to 5'8? And if so, would that then make christoph waltz around 5'5.5in and not 5'7 1/4 since he's in Jared's height picture. Video: Click Here Editor RobIf that was the only footage I'd seen of them both, yeah I can see why Leto was struggling to look even 5ft 8 there. I'm not sure if footwear or the street is the reason, but I can't see Jared as short as 5ft 8. Jtm said on 11/Mar/23i never liked him but he looks like a solid 5'8 guy to me. Discord said on 9/Mar/23Disliking someone doesn't mean you have to make him shorter than what he really is, lol. Abdulrahman said on 18/Feb/23I dislike him for his controversies. He even made a new clothing brand with a similar looking logo like the naz* logo. I think he is just 171 cm. Sandy Cowell said on 28/Dec/22Didn’t South Park do an episode called Fishsticks, regarding Kanye West? I think so, and it was ever so funny! Arch Stanton said on 14/Dec/22The average guess is only 0.35 of an inch low that Rob's guess Ben! If it was 5'6.5 I would see what you mean! I reckon the Big H would have edged him out ;-) Ben - 186cm said on 14/Dec/22The average guess on here is disgusting. So many Ye haters on this site. Editor RobThere are probably a fair few votes in the past which were listening to that Estelle song and going with Five-Seven as a guess. I doubt Kanye is under 5ft 8. Ben - 186cm said on 14/Dec/22@Eric I believe Trump is 6’0. Johnny 181-182 cm said on 8/Dec/22@Rob are you censoring a lot of comments here? 😂 Editor RobNot really on this page...though if some comments about Celebrities veer too much from height, it's not needed. Eric W Tam said on 7/Dec/22@Ben - 186cm. While I believe Kanye can be close to 5'9 (174) first thing in the morning, may I ask how tall you think Trump is? Ben - 186cm said on 6/Dec/22He’s 5’9 for me. Only a few inches shorter than Trump. Click Here gary69 said on 6/Dec/22I should have mentioned that the rubber boots Kanye was wearing in that photo added 3 inches, according to Gavin. gary69 said on 6/Dec/22@Rob, I'm not sure about the footwear, but how tall does Gavin McInnes look in comparison to Kanye? I believe Kanye is wearing boots that elevate his height somewhat. Click Here Editor RobLooks at least 3cm taller, I did see a clip in which the rubber boots were shown and I'm not sure just how thick they are. Malcolm Oliver said on 4/Dec/22Rob, how does Kanye stack up to Musk here? Is it just me or does he look taller (maybe partly because of the angle)? Click Here Editor RobThat camera is under their chins and Kanye a good few inches in front. He's gaining advantage, how much is another matter. Sandy Cowell said on 16/Nov/22I thought Kanye was taller than that, probably because Kim looks that much shorter than he does. 5ft8. IceCold2 said on 11/Oct/22Solid 173 Jia Pia said on 14/Sep/22I was listening to American Boy by Estelle featuring Kanye West, and she sings "I just met this 5 foot 7 guy that's just my type", and it got me wondering. Aside from foot measurement (and we all know Kanye is not 6 ft 7 lol) seven is the only two syllable number that would work with the song, and I was wondering if Kanye West really was 5'7". That's it. Close enough, I guess. Robbie Murphy Lee said on 8/Sep/22Hey Rob who looks taller Kanye west or lil durk Click Here Click Here I would say durk just because of Kanye’s foot wear. I have durk at 5’7 1/2 Editor RobThose boots Kanye wore are rather thick. Tricky to tell if he's truly taller than Dirk. Robbie Murphy Lee said on 1/Aug/22Hey Rob, Kanye preformed at rolling loud with Lil durk Kanye wore boots and looked a little taller Click Here Lil durk looks 5’7 range 5'10 Dude said on 8/May/22There's a photo out there where Kanye looks a little bit taller than Jeff Bezos who you also have listed at 5'8. Kanye was wearing boots and Bezos was wearing regular dress shoes. I'd say there's no chance of Bezos being over 5'8 then. IceCold said on 30/Mar/22@Rob, maybe a page for Pusha T? He is been listed 5'11, but i think more 5'8. He doesn't seem taller than Kanye Click Here Editor RobI am not sure he's quite as short as Kanye IceCold said on 29/Mar/22For some reason, Kanye never looks short Ian Omom said on 17/Feb/22ALEXIZ/180cm said on 14/Apr/21 171 cm i don't think so, if he measured that mark, then Trump would be 5'11 and Kimmel 5'10 Toby Barrett said on 13/Feb/22why did google used to list him at 5'6 Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 6/Feb/22Kanye must be over 5'8, isn't he, Rob? or is he a lift wearer too? Click Here Click Here Editor RobKanye sometimes pulls off looking 5ft 8.5 ChaosControl1 said on 23/Jan/22I always thought he was around 5’7. I guess I had the impression of him as an eccentric little guy nz said on 18/Jan/22How tall is Julia fox? 5'6-5'7? Editor RobWouldn't have guessed over 5ft 5 Wehrmacht180 said on 6/Jan/22170 cm James Pe said on 25/Dec/21Avid lift wearer. Kanye is 5’7 barefoot. That’s a fact. I know ppl who know ppl lol Treasure said on 2/Oct/21In the song "american boy" which he wrote the lyrics for he called himself 5ft7 I mean he is probably 5ft8 but why did he call himself 5ft7 5'10 Dude said on 3/Sep/21A solid 5'8 seems right. I feel that he can look surprisingly tall in photos. He wears thick shoes fairly often so he probably stands at 5'9-5'9½ at times, but not barefoot of course. Stinky 186 cm said on 29/Aug/21Solid 5’ 8” Thy67 said on 17/Aug/21Rob, here are my listings for a few New York rappers that you can consider making a page for: A boogie 5’10 Lil Tjay 5’10 Pop Smoke 5’10.5 Fivio Foreign 6’0 Bobby Shmurda 5’9.5 Rowdy Rebel 5’9.25 Sheff G 5’10 Sleepy Hallow 5’11.5 Benjamin's Jam said on 12/Aug/21Definitely Looks Around 5'8 MikeyIrish said on 28/Jun/21@Alex Joe Rogan is a manlet. He's 5'6 tops. Not that every 5'6er is a manlet, but his short arms and legs combined with his workout routine have given him a stubby appearance. But yes Kanye is between 5'7 to 5'8. 177cm said on 17/Jun/21I think Kanye would measure similarly to you Rob Editor Rob5ft 8 and change is very possible Chaos 6'2 1/2 said on 12/Jun/21I expected him to be like 6’3 what the hell? ALEXIZ/180cm said on 14/Apr/21171 cm Alex 6'0 said on 31/Mar/21Joe rogan is 5'7. Kanye looks 5'8 there Kylo said on 15/Feb/21Has Kanye ever made a claim about his height? I’d be curious to see what he claims. Strong 5’8 though Shamarr said on 18/Nov/20Theirs a pic online with Kanye west barefoot with actor that played the Ninja on antwood . Kanye looks 5 foot 6 barefoot Slim 6'1" said on 11/Nov/20nothing above 172cm. top of short but not a dwarf or midget. Kevoz said on 23/Oct/20Kanye west and Joe rogan 3cm difference in height 170cm and 173cm Click Here S. lampkreigh said on 15/Oct/20i wonder if kanye west is that actual height, i know a guy who claims to have met kanye and said he was taller. The friend in question is 5'6. Strange, to say the least. George200 said on 20/Sep/20Rob, who is taller Kanye or are You? Editor RobI think it is hard to tell, a toss of a coin really. vastlybetter566 said on 8/Sep/20Now that Kanye is running for president, will he be a part of the "Politician" category, Rob? Editor RobI'm not sure about that, I remember comedian Al Murray ran for a seat once, but it was like a joke to him. Peter175 said on 8/Aug/2050 might actually be a clean six 6ftooter with Chris Brown at around 184.5 Kanye looks a strong 5'8 most of the time Slim 6'1" said on 6/Aug/20172 top of short but not a midget or dwarf JakestJake said on 23/Jul/20Wow, used to think he was at least 5’9”, but from looking at pics, can definitely now see he’s shorter than that. 6james94 said on 22/Jul/20Is he the kind of guy who would wear bigger shoes like shoes that would make him appear taller then his actual height. Oyeah in the comments below Joel Osteen, I don’t go to his church or support his ministry though one time a few years ago I was curious about his height because he looked like a average height guy it said six foot. Though today I saw a image or video of him and Kanye. Kanye looked the same height maybe a little taller then Joel Olsteen though there was a YouTube video of him giving a sermon talking about height he actually claimed five nine. Though seeing pics of him and Kanye they’re both wearing bigger shoes like olsteen was wearing cowboy boots though Kanye West looked like he was wearing monster boots compared to his. I will look again. Editor RobI doubt he'd be a lift-wearer or anything, but he's not a guy who wears thin sneakers. James S said on 10/Jul/20I think 5’8 is definitely his height looking at him with 50 cent who is 6’0 what do you think rob? Click Here Editor RobSee him pulling a Tip toe when squaring up to 50. I think Kanye generally seems a solid 5ft 8 guy Miss Sandy Cowell said on 8/Jun/20🎁🎊🎶🎂 Happy Birthday Kanye! 🎂🎶🎊🎁 A Very Happy 43rd Birthday to Kanye West! I'm most impressed to have read that Kanye has joined the protesters against the senseless George Floyd killing and has donated to his young daughter's fund. What a great thing to do. No one can recognize him as he joins the protest because he is wearing a mask. Have a terrific family day, Kanye! 5ft8 😄👍 🎁🎊🎶🎂🎁🎊🎶🎂🎁🎊🎶🎂🎁🎊🎶🎂 Shan said on 5/May/205'7 barefoot, maybe 5'6 3/4. Kim is between 5'1 and 5'2 1/2 barefoot. British singer Estelle referred to Kanye West as a 5-foot-seven-guy in their duet "American Boy". Canson said on 11/Feb/20Maybe my wife’s height 5’7.75 Oh said on 10/Feb/20Starting to guess if he’s actually 5’8. Recent Oscar picture with Kim seems to be just an inch shorter. If Kim is 5’2 and let’s suppose she’s wearing 5 inch heels that takes her to 5’7 Kanye still should be taller than her barefoot but even with the shoes he’s wearing in that pic he hardly looks an inch taller Click Here Nik Ashton said on 27/Jan/20This dude kan pull it off! Bryant said on 14/Jan/20Dude is 5'7 in shoes. If he ever appears taller it's because he's wearing his own shoes and is wearing some sort of lifts. Kim kardashian is 5'3.. No matter what footwear she's wearing an averaged height man would always tower over her. He rarely does. Wraith talk said on 10/Jan/20I saw his "Heartless" Performance In 2008. And he looked 6'2 x1234 said on 19/Nov/19Click Here look at 1:30 Osteen is listed as 6ft but him and kanye are the same height here... church attire so footwear is probably similar Miss Sandy Cowell said on 17/Nov/19The episode of South Park which introduced me to Kanye West is entitled 'Fishsticks' and is a bit of a rude play on words! 😆=🐟🍌s! 5ft8. I did think he looked taller.... ...in SOUTH PARK! 😂😂😂 Fort Lytton said on 7/Nov/19He is almost exactly 5 feet 7 and a half. And that's definitive. Z. said on 31/Oct/19@bff James Corden isn't 5'6.5 Two Words said on 29/Oct/19Rob, do you think out of all the shorter people on this site, Kanye is the one people "look up to" the most? Editor RobHe's got a lot of influence for sure, he has a lot of fans...but probably a fair share of haters too. bff said on 28/Oct/19Definitely a short dude (and overrated), but I guess he's taller than I expected after a recent photo with James Corden who's about 5' 6.5". I'd pegged Kanye at 5' 5" or less. dio21 said on 27/Oct/19I love how many people saw Kanye West everyday here (just like with every celebrities). I just don't understand why dont you take pictures?:D I can say anything like that. Once I saw kanye west from 8 meters and I'm sure he was 6'2. truthteller25 said on 26/Oct/19I think Kanye is a full inch over what the average guess for him is. I am not a super fan but it's hard for me to see him at 5'7.77 this would make Cudi like 5'6.5-5'7 and I think Cudi is 5'7.5-5'8 because Kanye is obviously taller. Peter17 said on 17/Sep/19Rob, here are very recent images and a video of Kanye and DJ Khaled together (both wearing thick sole sneakers) Click Here Click Here Kanye seemed same height and even shorter than the 5’6”(169cm) listed DJ Khaled, what do you think is more likely between Kanye being eligible for a downgrade to 5’7” flat or Khaled for an upgrade to 5’8” Rob? Editor RobIn the clip Kayne looked taller, but I could see how it might not seem more than an inch James E said on 5/Jun/19He’s 5’7 might even be 5’6. I know A LOT of people who have met him in person and stated either of the two heights. He’s probably 5’8 in his 2inch heel boots he likes to wear... William_O'Jell said on 14/Apr/19Much smaller than I anticipated. No wonder he doesn't like Drake who is basically a 6 footer. Kem said on 7/Apr/19Rob, if we use 69 as a reference. 69 and Floyd mayweather Click Here 69 and Kanye Click Here Kanye and Floyd mayweather weigh up to be more similar in height than as listed. Do think Kanye is nearer to 5’7” Floyd than the 5’8”. What would Kanye and Floyds height in cm be? Bradley said on 18/Mar/19As listed. Sergio10 said on 26/Jan/19Rob, what would your guess be on Kanye and Floyd mayweather’s height with these pictures of them next trump (assuming trump is wearing the same shoes). Click Here Click Here Editor RobKanye seemed around 5ft 8 when he met with Trump and Mayweather held up solid 5ft 7 range. Sharie Zuluaga said on 25/Dec/18Kanye would look taller so I think 5’10 KanteEast said on 12/Oct/18Didn’t Estelle sing about him being 5ft 7.. and just her type though 🤔 Robby Harris said on 7/Oct/18Kanye does often look 174 cm range. Hard to imagine him at just 5'8" flat when we see him next to guys like Mike Tyson, Usher or Mike Myers. Big T said on 29/Sep/18Just saw a promo for an upcoming SNL with Kanye, Kenan Thompson and Adam Driver. Kanye is taller than Kenan and certainly less than 6” shorter than Driver. Tod Charming said on 30/Aug/18His confidence makes him appear much taller than he really is. I would have guessed 6 feet. But in reality, he's actually 5'8! Peter175 said on 22/Aug/18Well Robby Harris, there are exacts of everything. Kanye has never looked below 5'8 so I think you can say he's 5'8-5'8.25 or 1/8th. Either way its rob's site and he can choose to use smaller decimals even if its not detectable to most people. He gets 5'8.25 from me Ethan-5'7.25 said on 14/Jul/18Legit 5’8 man good listing Rob. Christian-6'5 3/8" said on 26/May/18@Robby Harris You made a fantastic point, I couldn't agree more. Robby Harris said on 24/May/18@Peter175: Lol, it wouldn't be remotely detectable to spot whether he's exactly 5'8" on the mark or 1/8" above it. Plus it wouldn't matter. Not everyone lands exactly on a rounded height - in fact, most people don't. 5'8 1/8" is still pretty much 5'8", just like 5'7.9" is! For Rob, such a listing works because he's the owner of the site and goes to conventions for the very purpose of it. Plus he's also shown us his measured height countless times through photos and videos - so we all know his height down to the millimetre. Unlike the celebs on here where we get at worst a reasonable rough estimate, or at best a measured figure (time of measurement would come into question) that correlates with how tall they generally look - unless undeniably measured by Rob himself (sans Glenn, who played sneaky height tricks on Rob!) Peter175 said on 21/May/18Rob, is Kanye eligible for a 1/8 upgrade? He's definitely close to your height I'd say. one of the stronger 5ft8 guys Editor RobHe could be one of those guys like myself just a little over 5ft 8. Sandy Cowell said on 9/May/18That his wife, Kim K, is 5ft2.5 is much to his advantage! I always felt he was taller, ever since I was first enlightened of his existence via an episode of 'South Park'! Kanye gets 5ft8! bledham said on 12/Mar/18172.7 is actually 5.7 9/10 take off the 9/10 and you get 5'7 I've seen the guy the next to celebrities I have seen or know in person and I'm actually certain he's a little bit under 5'7 maybe 5'6 7/8 but that's being extremely technical. Estelle knew what she was talking about. Jake94 (5'9 said on 24/Jan/18Good example of a weak 5'8" IMO. bruh said on 6/Jan/18kanye is not an overrated musician you degenerate anna said on 15/Nov/17there seems to be a height difference of 13 cm on that photo with Kim - 10cm of high heels will make Kim not 157cm but more like 150 if we add 5 cm to kanye's footwear ? and thats generous! Slim 184 said on 3/Nov/17171 area, such an overrated musician. Tallish89 said on 6/Oct/17Lift wearer Slim said on 20/Sep/175'7.5" is closer to the truth. Warren said on 13/Sep/17He truly has 172-173cm range, and has nice proportion Tom Colton said on 28/Aug/17In a picture with conor mcgregors dad is exactly the same height. Then conor with his dad, noticeable height difference. So logically 1 to 2 inches shorter than conor mcgregor, kanye is 5ft 7 to 5ft 7.5 legit. Jani said on 12/Aug/17Kanye looks like somewhere 172-173cm. Phil said on 10/Aug/17He could be wearing lifts with those boots he wears and he could be at least 4 inches taller than his real height. I'd say 5'8 barefoot is accurate. Peter175 said on 8/Aug/17I can believe anywhere from 173-174. Definitely not 5'7" range KH said on 7/Aug/17Not sure there is much noticeable between West and Cruise in those photos and in some Tom looks about the same height and we can't see the footwear. Flat 5'8 is good for him. Wouldn't go taller myself. Brad said on 19/Jul/17As listed. Lollllll said on 1/Jul/17Estelle calls him 5" 7 in American Boy lol said on 29/Jun/17i guess you have a point. I'd say he's 5'7 1/2 to 5'8. Just a few inches short of average. just funny how his height is immortalized as 5'7 Tallish89 said on 15/May/17I have noticed he appears taller last couple of years Reasons why lol Click Here Click Here 172 my guess Editor Rob it's a solid heel, maybe 1.75. Ggg said on 20/Apr/17How tall does Montana of 300 look next to kanye, Rob? Google and all other website has him listed as 6'1 but next to kanye he dosent look more than 5'9?? Click Here Editor Rob silly websites and Google never even checked what the guy himself said? you can also see him with Chris Rock and Terrence, around 5ft 9 might be fair...he actually claimed 5ft 10, so it goes to show you should never blindly copy info from other sites ;) I think he is a little further from kanye, so he could be between 5ft 9-10, certainly isn't over 5ft 10, because that's what he claims... Cameron said on 9/Apr/17Yeah I think he is just under 5'8". Although he does have a somewhat stocky build which might make him look shorter so idk. I'm 5'8.5" short said on 23/Mar/17He's 5'7.5" (171 cm). Kim being so short makes him look in the 5'9 range at times Harris said on 22/Mar/17Nope. Not convinced at all. If Kanye let her describe him as 5'7" in that song, then that's the tallest he is. We all know that Kanye is the type of guy that would upgrade his height, rather than downgrade! Heyja said on 13/Mar/17Kanye has been photographed on a thousand red carpets in dozens of kinds of footwear. If there's any male celeb Rob can nail from a distance, it's gonna be him. Estelle probably used seven because it's two syllables, and Kanye probably didn't care because the whole song is about him being a boss. Mathew Robinson said on 12/Mar/17ArthurJohn said on 14/Nov/16 I've seen his wax figure at Tussaud's a few years ago, and I remember him looking a weak 5'8". I think 172 cm is a better fit for him. Why did Estelle refer to him as 5'7" in 'American Boy'? That would be a considerable downgrade if you ask me. Would someone with as big of an ego as Kanye West allow someone to declare him shorter than he actually is...on his own record? Its doubtful to say the least. --- I've wondered the same thing. If he was really 5'8" would he have himself described as 5'7" in his own song? Given what they say about his ego, it sounds like even he thinks he's really 5'7". Dr JJ said on 20/Feb/17Interestingly saw a picture of him walking in the street with Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble. There was not a great deal of height difference between West and Gamble. However, the previous week, Gamble was pictured strolling with Bieber, and the Biebs was dwarved by Gamble. Just an observation. Nova176 said on 17/Feb/17If Kanye is sub5'8 rob would literally have to change nearly every height on this site. Kanye is a staple and constant 5'8. A bit below average but not really short Nova176 said on 12/Feb/17Doing 5'8 justice. Looks a decent bit taller than 171-172 Tom cruise John Connor said on 6/Feb/17Solid 5"8 guy but can appear shorter at times. Rob how tall do you think Prince EA is bearfoot judging by this video clip Click Here Editor Rob proportionally he could pull off 5ft 10-11, but I don't really know the guy, that's the first time I heard him actually! A 171cm male said on 2/Jan/17Looks about right 5'8" Bou said on 1/Jan/17Definitely upper 5'8". He never looks short even next to 6 footers. Ssn said on 26/Dec/16Hey rob i think he is 5"9 as i just saw kylie Jenner's story on snapchat about christmas gifts where kendal jenner run past him and they both(kanye and kendal) looks exactly of same height though she was barefeet and kanye was wearing sneakers. What is your thought upon this. Can u find that video and check it just to get his correct heigt. Thanks Shredder said on 14/Dec/16Not 5'10 , but easily upper 5'8 range , like 5'8.5 houla said on 14/Dec/16are you sure he is 173cm? he never looks short on tv beside other people and a lot taller than KK even with platforms. 5'10? ArthurJohn said on 14/Nov/16I've seen his wax figure at Tussaud's a few years ago, and I remember him looking a weak 5'8". I think 172 cm is a better fit for him. Why did Estelle refer to him as 5'7" in 'American Boy'? That would be a considerable downgrade if you ask me. Would someone with as big of an ego as Kanye West allow someone to declare him shorter than he actually is...on his own record? Its doubtful to say the least. truth said on 18/Oct/16Yes I am about 177-178 cm at my lowest. Anyway it is nothing personal, Kanye is about 172-173 cm and there is nothing wrong about it. truth said on 4/Oct/16@Leo 5'8 Why? 5'8 is on the shorter side in the western world with a majority of the white population since the average is about 5'9-5'10. I am just stating the obvious measured and easily observable facts. There is nothing wrong with being below average height or any height for that matter. Also it's "man" not "men". Adamz said on 19/Sep/16173cm looks ok for Kanye. mike said on 29/Aug/16Kanye doesn't look a full 5'8, 172cm i think is a more solid listing Leo 5'8 said on 16/Jul/16@truth Men you has several problems Mathew Robinson (190 cm) said on 12/Jul/16Allie said on 13/Sep/15 Just gonna point this out, in Estelle's song "American Boy", she and Kanye play lovers in the song and Estelle describes him as 5'7 :). --- Yes, and it's tough to imagine that Kanye would let her use that line if he was really 5'8". truth said on 22/May/16He is just about 5ft8/173cm or slightly shorter than that (probably 5ft7.75/172cm). Always struck me as a below average but not really that short. Alxr37 said on 5/May/16He's probably not shorter than 5'8 jerald Weing said on 5/May/16He's about a 5'6"-5'7" guy. Celebheights 6'1.75 said on 13/Apr/16I've met him a few years ago, and I originally thought that he was like 5'2" from very far away due to his short legs. Up close he was somewhere in the 5'8"-5'8 1/2" range. TJE said on 14/Mar/16Rob, would 8.25 be possible? FM said on 27/Feb/16As others have said, I doubts he's over 5'7" by much,if at all - as the Estelle, "American Boy" states. Check out this pic with Paul McCartney, listed at 5'9.5". Paul may have a little extra help in his shoe, but Kanye definitely does. Paul looks close to 2inches taller if he stands straight, at least with both in their foot ware. Click Here Pitch_Fork said on 24/Feb/16About 5'8'' for sure djane said on 17/Feb/16His attitude speaks short man. S.J.H said on 13/Feb/16No way Kenya was 5'9 but 5'8 is way accurate to believe joe said on 12/Feb/16By all accounts, he is 5'7" which is about 4 inches below average for young men today. Since everyone shrinks as they get older, he will probably settle down to about 5'4" eventually. will said on 31/Jan/16I've met Kanye once at a album release party, years ago. I'm 5'9 1/2 stood next too him we were the same height, as far as shoes we both had on boots. I will admit his were a little bulkier. Still he's a 5'8 too 5'9 guy for sure. John said on 18/Dec/15My estimation of rapper heights Kanye 173cm Jay Z 187cm 50 Cent 183cm Dr Dre 183cm Eminem 172cm P Diddy 179cm Snoop Dogg 193cm Wiz Khalifa 191cm The Game 192cm 2 Chainz 194cm Drake 181cm J Cole 191cm Kedrick Lamar 165cm Lil Wayne 164cm Nicki Minaj 157cm Chris Brown 182cm Meek Mill 188cm Gucci Mane 187cm Waka Flocka Flame 192cm Trump said on 10/Dec/15All you have to do is go to that restaurant where he hit his head on that sign. Where he was holding his head is the point of impact. Bring a tape measure. mrtguy said on 26/Nov/15Rob, you would edge kanye in person Editor Rob I would think we would be very close James Edward Crowley Maximus Meridius said on 4/Nov/15Rob Kanye West looks about 5ft 9.75in 5ft 10in in that picture was he wearing Elevator shoes. Editor Rob I don't think they look suspicious or bulky. But then it's the sneaky half or 3/4 inch lifts that are hard to spot. Michael said on 17/Sep/155'8" give or take 0.5 inches. Allie said on 13/Sep/15Just gonna point this out, in Estelle's song "American Boy", she and Kanye play lovers in the song and Estelle describes him as 5'7 :). MD said on 3/Sep/15@Jacko, There is no way you "dwarfed" him at 5'10". There are plenty of pictures on him standing on the stage with John Legend and Big Sean at the VMA's for an award they won collectively. With no footwear advantage, he was visibly taller than Sean and looked at least as tall as Legend (who is probably listed too tall, here, BTW). I used to think he was probably shorter than this listing, but he routinely looks 5'8", and certainly not 5'6", which would put Big Sean down in the 5'4"s. I was a little surprised, myself, but he easily holds up against other guys who claim 5'8". BTW, I think Rob definitely needs to re-evaluate Big Sean's height (shave off the half-inch) and maybe take a look at John Legend, too. He's about the weakest 5'9" I've seen. Jacko said on 30/Aug/15I've met Kanye. I'm 5'10" and I dwarfed him. There is NO WAY he is even a hair over 5'6"! None! Jon said on 11/Jul/15What would you say his weight and head size is Rob? By the way did you see my Chadwick Boseman question? Editor Rob it looks (like chad's) within average range for their height, I think near 160 for kanye is possible. jess said on 12/Jun/15he looks to be an average 5'8"- he's not tall but he is still taller than a lot of other singers/rappers. Ocean said on 9/Jun/15I seen him in real life no lie he's 5'6.5-5'7 maximum im 5'11 and I had at least 4-5 inches on him. These people lie about there hight all the time. We'll never mind I hope he's 5'8 that make me 6 and half easy lol Sonny Black said on 1/Jun/15Given his ego, it probably kills him that he's of average height. G said on 26/May/15He can look 5'9.5 or 5'10 sometimes, but with its elevators. He is taller than Myers, then it should be 5'8. Another male celebrity who wants to look 5'10, and a big idiot. Blink_284 said on 4/May/15Seen him next to Jay-Z and 5'8 and seems about right. I'm about 5'8 myself. As for the Holland discussion: I live there and I don't think people are that much taller here on average, compared to other countries in the west. US average is about 5'10 I've heard. Here it's maybe 5'11 or slightly above, however there are quite a few people who are above that hight (6'2 or taller). I see plenty of men my hight daily, so no not everyone is (freakishly) tall in this country :) b-mint1994 said on 9/Apr/15Legit 5'8". Looks taller than Big Sean and quite a bit taller than Mike Myers. Wesley said on 26/Mar/15Should be 5'7.5 TJE said on 11/Mar/15Definitely a 5'8 range guy. guest said on 3/Mar/15he probably wears lifts, N said on 26/Feb/15He looks about 5'10 to me, anybody else? Standing next to jay whos 6'1 he looks only three inches shorter kanye said on 20/Feb/15abuot 5'9'' Chiqita said on 18/Jan/15wow Jay Z is 6 inches taller. He might wear lifts if he is that short for a man. Height182 said on 10/Nov/14Kanye looking 6'0'' Click Here SaSHa said on 31/Oct/14He must be over 5.8 172 cm Click Here with kendall, who I believe is 174 -175 over 5.9 kendall + chanel iman ( who is 175 - 176 cm) Click Here Click Here kendall + Jourdan Dunn ( 178 -179 cm) Click Here Editor Rob said on 11/Aug/14You can see Kanye again with big Mike Click Here Jon said on 11/Aug/14@theshredder Yeah, I always thought he was around 5'10. I trust Rob's judgement more than my own though, so I'm going with 5'8. A great musician by the way, even if he's a little arrogant. I love his newer stuff like MBDTF and Yeezus. the shredder said on 9/Aug/14If anything he is over 5'8 , he looked 5'9 with mike myers fsd said on 4/Aug/14no way he's 5'8 he's between 5'7 - 5'6 ft a friend of mine who's a flat 5'8 saw him in hakkasan mayfair 5 months ago he had give or take 1 or two inches on him . steffff said on 27/Jul/14There it is again: Another 5'8" celeb who tries to look 5'10", while everyone on this website tries to downvote him to 5'6". I love reading comments on 5'8" celebs heights! Really though, Kanye is a solid 5'8". He has relatively long legs so he also sometimes appears to be taller. Joe said on 12/Jul/14@wow: I don't care about his brain, you might hate him, but that won't stop his fans listening to him. We are talking about his height here. wow said on 8/Jul/14Kanye is 5'7 those of you that have problems looking at pictures or video look closer .Kanye stands not to much taller than Kim whose also hobbit sized so there is no way in heck he could be 5'8 or 5'9 when Kim who also lies and says she's 5'3 is a little bit shorter than him.If Kanye was 5'8 or 5'9 Kim would be about 5'5 and no way is she that tall.Alot of celebs lie about their heights and weights to make themselves look better but pictures don't lie.Kanye is more like 5'6 or 5'7 max he's not taller than that his brain is peanut sized as well. Joe said on 31/May/14@Earl: Jay is 6'1, he might be mentioned 6'1.5 here but that guy is no more than 6'1. 5'8.5'' guy said on 24/May/14ive met kanye before and the top of his head was at my eye level. dude is 5'6ish. hamm said on 20/May/14I think is about 170 cm. temest said on 18/May/145'6" to 5'7". Regardless, he's a very small human being in more ways than one. Mathew said on 16/May/14Jay Z is 6'1" range. Kanye is 5'7" tops. Mathew said on 3/May/14He's 5'7" as in the lyric in his song American Boy. The woman sings "I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type." Don't think he'd have that lyric in there if he was 5'8". Earl said on 20/Apr/14@Adam Jay is 6'2 though Adam said on 1/Apr/14Rob he can't be 5'8, it's not possible. Look at this: Click Here James Richardson said on 15/Mar/14He's like 5'6. fsd said on 8/Mar/14kanyeis 5'7 ft he mentioned it in his song american boy . there is a 5 inch diff kim"5'2ft" is wearing 3 inch heels =5'5ft kanye "5'7ft" wearin 1 inch loafer Click Here MD said on 9/Jan/14Not too many men would look short next to a 5'2" female. Given that we closely nail down heighs, here, seems pretty silly to give a two-inch range of height that just so happens to be one either side of the listed height, BTW. Probably would be nice to offer something of value to the discussion, you know, besides making obvious observations. heigth said on 7/Jan/145'7-5'9 zone he dont look that short next to 5'2 kim rrmar said on 22/Dec/13My cousin used to be a dancer for Love Barnett on one of her dance shows. Barnett has been in numerous rap videos. I went to one of the shows and Kanye was there and I stood right next to him and had a quick conversation with him..I'm a solid 5'9 and he was at least a inch or 2 shorter then me... heigth said on 20/Dec/13he is denfentivly not 5'6 i really would like to know how tall he is beacuse in photos wit kim k (5'2) with heels on wich gives her an extra 3-4 inches he looks at least 4 inches taller than her! i would say 5'8 - 5'10 nothing more! and btw jay z IS not only 6 foot he is like 6'1-6'2 lol said on 29/Nov/13kanyes no taller than 5"8 MAX he looks 5"9 in timberlands growtallerguru said on 21/Nov/13he looks 5'7" next to Jay-Z who looks 6'even next to 5'10.5" Justin Timberlake honestly. KID Authentic said on 27/Oct/13To me, Kanye looks like he ranges from 5'7 to 5'9. I'm taller than him because my doctor stated that I am 5'10(177.5-1.79) Dr JJ said on 26/Oct/135'6". That's it. thomas said on 22/Oct/13@thedutchguy OMG I totally agree with you I'm 179cm (5'10) barefeet but I fell so short. I don't know if it's just in my head when I wear my favorite hiking shoes I'm 6 feet for sure and people tell me I'm pretty tall but I still fell small:( I guess I have tall friends:) 6\'1\" barefoot said on 18/Oct/13conYeezy it's cool ur taller than kanye we all get it bro..you actually went as far as to right a whole thesis on your interpretation. kanye has short legs if his legs were longer he's be lucky at average height. but he grew disproportionately. I had size 12 shoes in 7th grade and was 5'9" barefoot. Measured by the dumb P.E. coaches year later I was 5'11" barefoot in 8th grade. My ape index was +5 or 6'4" in length. people grow differently some do some don't maybe you'll grow if you eat and compete in sports it's a fact that if your testosterone is high you can become a freak like lebron if it's low you'll have alot of estrogen and be soft and have no ballz. Trust me eat, lift, sleep and you'll grow as tall as Lebron and maybe if your lucky you'll be half as strong as him. the shredder said on 16/Oct/135'8 minimum , I give him 5'9. MD said on 15/Oct/13There is no way he's under 5'7" barefoot. He genuinely and consistently looks taller than the 5'5"-5'6" rappers mentioned. Maybe he's more around 5'7.5", but the anything under 5'7" barefoot isn't realistic. MD said on 11/Oct/13Rob, Can you delete that the comment by Roscoe on 9/Oct/13? It's completely inappropriate, and he'd thought he'd slip it by you by taking off the first letter. Thanks. heightobsessed said on 10/Oct/13he looks closer to 5'7 TheEnd said on 3/Oct/13as Hoops.. a real man said below! Bill O'reilly said he was in the same elevator with Kanye & his 2 body guards. He said ("Kanye was 5'6" and the body guards were 6'5"...and I'm 6'4".") Im 5\'7\ said on 2/Oct/13Why does everyone always have to make it about "small man syndrome?" Why can't it just be "Kanye West is an *******?" Why do people hate small men so much? Cnut the Great said on 27/Sep/13i agree 5'7".... he is also very annoying.. i agree with the small man syndrome thing.. how small do you have to be to qualify for small man syndrome Ryan said on 24/Sep/13He's at most 5'7 and has a bad case of small man syndrome. Dr JJ said on 21/Sep/13His ego is so big, he isn't worried about height! Mathew said on 1/Sep/136 ft 8 says on 14/Aug/13 In "American Boy" it says he is 5'7 --- Yes, and given his ego there's little chance he would downgrade himself. 5'7" he is. 6 ft 8 said on 14/Aug/13In "American Boy" it says he is 5'7 hi said on 11/Aug/13i doubth that he is just 5´7 Feet cuz i saw one picture of him and lil Gay and kanye west was like 1,5 head taller than wayne!as i know lil wayne is 1,64 cm i think kanye is about lets say 1,77 - 178 SAK said on 2/Aug/13pockynon says: I saw him at LaGuardia airport and he is a shrimp - both in height and physique. There is no way that he is 5-9 like his bio says. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can totally imagine this. And I bet Kanye wanted to be a huge guy. Too bad. pockynon said on 31/Jul/13I saw him at LaGuardia airport and he is a shrimp - both in height and physique. There is no way that he is 5-9 like his bio says. hoops ... a real man!! said on 23/Jul/13I've been a basketball coach for 30 years. I can look at any man and tell you within 1/2 inch how tall he is. West is 5'6"-5'7" at the most. He weighs about 130 pounds. Think about this ... he's a smaller man than Bieber in size, but a much smaller man in character than most men. He proves that every day by picking on little cameramen. Ha! I'd like to challenge him to a 3 minute round in the ring for $1 million. I'm 70 years old and I'd kick his little wimp ass!! Mike T said on 9/Jul/135'6" at the least but nothing more than 5'7" truth178cm said on 3/Jul/13Dutch average 5ft11-6ft Tom said on 1/Jul/13Anything beyond 5'7" is ridiculous. Probably a weak 5'7". Mathew said on 28/Jun/13He's 5'7", it's even in a song. No way this guy downgrades himself. Cingetrorix said on 28/Jun/13I'd say 5'7. On the dutch thing, definitely not a 'stereotype'. The official average is like 6' or 6'1 I believe. But being a Scotsman who is often in holland for long periods of time, I have to say when I'm wearing boots I'm 5'10 or 11. And I do not feel tall. At all. In Scotland I'd be above average from young people my age (19). In holland I am still at least 4 inches taller than the average dutch guy my age. They are a tall race. Lelly said on 21/Jun/13My daughter met him at manchester airport and was shocked to report she was taller than kanye, she is 5'6", she insists hes as tall as me at 5'3" ! Adam said on 21/Jun/13In one of his songs it says he is 5'7 and i dont think he would downgrade himself LH said on 21/Jun/13His gf, Kim K, is reportedly just 5'2" tall. Clearly he is no taller than 5'8" in comparison...if that. true said on 24/May/13def not 5'8, looks about 5'7 here a pic of him in loafers Click Here Sean said on 17/May/13@wooderson she was obviously wearing high heels, models tend to wear them you know lol Juicey said on 6/May/135'7 -5''7 1/2 guy 5'8 a little bit generous leonari said on 1/May/13Nothing below 171,5 and probably very close to 173 on a regular day. Pothead said on 29/Apr/13I am between 5'6.25" and 5'6.5" and with certain dress shoes I am easily 5'8" or 5'8.5". With cowboy boots (2.5- 3 inch heels) I am easily 5'9". So...basically...add 2.5 inches to your barefoot height to get your "hollywood" height. Image is everything. Mikey T said on 21/Apr/135'6" he wears boots to make him taller AAAA said on 8/Apr/13with tyson and 50 Click Here truth said on 27/Mar/13No way 5'10" I ran into him coming out of the 86th/Lex station a few months before Through the Wire was released. I have a good friend who is 5'5" isn and he is somewhere between 5'5" and 5'7" gsbr said on 25/Mar/13He's taller than Mike Myers. So unless Myers is under 5'7", West is 5'8". wooderson said on 2/Feb/13there is no way he is 173, i saw a photo with him and miranda kerr where she is about 3 inches taller than him, he is about 5'6" someguy said on 30/Jan/13Rob, i don't get why Kanye is being oversized at 5'8 when in his own song "American Boy" it says he's 5'7? A change maybe? Mikey T said on 19/Jan/13He looks 5'8" next to 5'6" Ellen Degeneres. But he could be wearing lifts. Mathew said on 9/Jan/13Rob, in his song with singer Estelle she sings "I just met this 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type"(which you can infer, is supposed to be Kanye.) He really doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would okay the lyric short changing his stature by a full inch if he was a solid 5'8". I think he could be 5'7" or 5'7" and some change. realgame said on 15/Nov/12Way too high. Maybe celebs are calling them to fix there heights so it says there taller there really is. Big Sean is only 5'6 and Kanye is no taller than him so maybe 5'7 at the most. Jay-Z dwarfed Ye at the B.E.T awards. The same way Puffy dwarfed Nelly when they accepted the award for shake ya tailfeather. Aint nothing wrong wit being short i love short people. We all the same to me. Omari said on 10/Nov/12Nah, 173 is very accurate, my mom is kim kardashians height and when she wears heels she's the same height as kim in heels, and im 173 too,and when i look at pictures of them together with kim wearing them it's the same height difference. Shaun said on 25/Oct/12Does look 5'7" next to Jay Z. winner91 said on 24/Sep/12Click Here next to levine and cannon which are listed around 5'11 on this site. SolidSnake said on 6/Sep/12He has over 5million twitter followers and the ONLY person he follows is kim k. besides that he is a great rapper but yeh 5-8 sounds good as fits with Jay Z listing as well johnnyfive said on 28/Aug/12In the picture with Jay-Z from Meatspin, if Jay is the 6'2 listed, Kanye doesn't look any taller than 5'6 or 5'6 and a half tops! A 5'8 dude would look short but not like a dwarf next to a 6'2 dude. My verdict for Kanye is 5'6. the shredder said on 8/Aug/12Actually looks taller ... I here he claims 5'10 ... I'd say 5'9 . tony t. said on 7/Aug/12Looks like a true 5'8 guy. Stoodnext2 said on 6/Jun/12Meatspin is right Jay-Z TOWERS HIM. Click Here lol93 said on 28/Dec/11he didnt look short in the victoria secret fashion show next to models with heels...rob do you think he could be taller? Meatspin said on 9/Dec/11Jay-Z towers him Click Here SIlent d said on 30/Nov/11Sorry the rock has size 15 shoes. My mistake. 174cm. the shredder said on 27/Nov/11Dislike him but needs an upgrade 5'8.5 minimum . Tanya said on 27/Nov/11I love Kanye West! I think saw him up close tonight and i think 5'8 is acurate in comparisson to him next to jay z Silent d said on 20/Nov/11He has the same shoe size as the rock. You are kidding me. I know why girls like him now. I don't see him shorter than 174cm. He is short but i don't think 5 foot 6 like some people say. He stands his ground next to 6 foot 1 jay z. Albert said on 12/Nov/11Just so you guys know, Kanye doesn't have small feet; he actually wears size 12 shoes. His Nike Air Yeezy's (The sneaker famously worn during his Grammy performance with Daft Punk) were put on auction. Here is the link: Click Here qwerty said on 12/Nov/11With Karlie KlossClick Here
