Kanye West was the surprise creative director of last night’s inaugural PornHub awards where he provided wardrobe and styling for the presenters.

The collaboration came about one month after the 41-year-old spoke about the adult website on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show.

After being asked whether having daughters had changed his view of women, West told the host: “Nah, I still look at Pornhub and stuff.” He then proceeded to list off his favourite categories.

West’s involvement with the Lost Angeles-based awards show – the theme of which was the year 6918 – was announced through a statement from PornHub.

“Kanye has designed a bespoke erotica-inspired award statue for each of tonight’s unique categories. In line with the futurist theme, the award statues represent imagined alien sex toys”, the statement reads.

The rapper also performed at the event with Teyana Taylor and unveiled a Spike Jonze-directed video for new song “I Love It,” which features Lil Pump. Watch the music video, which has appeared online, below.

West has also made long sleeve shirts, featuring drawn cartoons of the winning performers on them. They're available to purchase on his website.
