It's been quite a year for West. He and Kardashian just announced they areexpecting their second child.They are already parents to adorable North West, who is about to celebrate her second birthday.

The Atlanta native was also just awarded an honororary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for his contributions to music, fashion, and pop culture, making him a Ph.D (so officially Dr. West). In his famously brash style, he told the crowd at the ceremony: "This honor is gonna make your lives easier. Two reasons: You don't have to defend me as much and I'm going to make all of our lives easier."
