Here’s why this Kanye picture makes for the best screensaver for your phone

Kanye West is the viral gift that keeps on giving.

An image of him standing with both arms aloft has become an unexpected viral sensation some six months after the picture first emerged – but it’s not for the reason you might expect.

This is the picture in question – taken in February of this year as the rapper performed during Kanye West Yeezy Season 3 in New York City.

Yesterday, Twitter user Michael Butlerr shared the image online – but this time, it had a twist.

Thanks to the positioning of Kanye’s arms in the picture, it looks as if he’s holding up any notification messages that come through on Michael’s phone’s locked screen.

this is the best screensaver cos whenever i get a notification, Kanye holds it up for me pic.twitter.com/W3bpDt82MA

Though we don’t expect Kanye himself to be taking part in the fun:
