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.

Ye 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!

Hey 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"

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.

Hey 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.

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.

I 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.

The 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 ;-)

I 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.

There'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.

A 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.

@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.

Is 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.

Dude 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.

I 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.

Kanye 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.

Just 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.

His confidence makes him appear much taller than he really is. I would have guessed 6 feet. But in reality, he's actually 5'8!

Well 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

@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!)

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'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".

@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.

He 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.

Seen 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 :)

@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.

Really though, Kanye is a solid 5'8". He has relatively long legs so he also sometimes appears to be taller.

Not 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.

conYeezy 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.

I'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!!

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.

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.

Way 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.

No way is this guy 5-8 legit. He's an egomaniac so 5'8 in lifts maybe. 5'6/5'7 max barefoot.

He 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

In 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.

I have a photo of him next to a lambo and 5'8" is laughable. He is more like 5'5" or 5'6".
Rob how can I put up the picture?

@TheDutchGuy 5'10 is not short, by any standards. Don't know if you live in a basketball training village, or you're not 5'10".

He 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.

Just 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.

He is 5 foot 8 and a bit but i remember he was slightly taller than usher.He was about 8cm shorter than 182cm 50 cent. He always looked that height. In that song with pamela anderson a couple of inches taller and she had huge heels on.

Peanut - yes I agree he's shorter than he claims, not quite 5'9. But definitely not as short as 5'7. I think your overblown ego may be skewing your estimate somewhat.

In his song with Estelle she says: I just met a 5 foot 7 guy who's just my type.' so he's around 5'7 to 5'9

Small feet and short neck are not accurate ways of judging someones height.

I am one of the nude models that did his listening party for the album 808 and heartbreaks and flat-footed I am 5'81/2 and I get measured for EVERY go-see i go on and when i stood next to Kanye flat footed I was a good inch inch and a half taller than him and he had on shoes. I would not give him anything taller than 5'7. Which means Amber is NOT 5'8...

He's 5'8" or shorter. His body does not match a guy 5'9" or taller. He has a small frame, small feet, short arms, short legs, and very short neck. 5'8" max or pigs fly.

Lol! Some guys of you show photos where Kanye is as big as another star (Neyo, Lil-Wayne), but that´s no proof! Because you don´t know what shoes he weard that day!!!! And Xmootje is right:
"he is 5 7 it is obvious just listen to the lyrics he wrote himself in american boy with estelle ,' I just met this 5 foot 7 guy he s just my type "
