He calls himself Yeezus, and now he wants fiancée Kim Kardashian on the cover of New York's fashion bible.

Kanye West preached his love for his betrothed baby mama during a radio show Tuesday, arguing she's more influential than Michelle Obama and deserves a turn on the cover of Vogue magazine.

'There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now. She's got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday,' he told Ryan Seacrest Tuesday morning.

'And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [President Barack Obama] is wearing,' he said. 'Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.'

He was referring to a photo Kardashian posted to social media a couple weeks ago that showcased her prominent posterior in a revealing white swimsuit after giving birth in June to daughter North.

West, 36, said reality TV stars shouldn't be overlooked by mainstream fashion magazines and that Carine Roitfeld got it right when the former French Vogue editor put Kardashian, 33, on the cover of her eponymous CR Fashion Book.

'Carine Roitfeld supports my girl. That's a breakthrough,' he said during the 'On Air With Ryan Seacrest' radio interview.

'There's a wall of classism that we are breaking through,' he said.

The rapper said he doesn't care if some people find his comments controversial.

'That's not my concern,' he said. 'My concern is doing God's work, and he'll work everything else out.'

But West confessed he had butterflies before popping the question to his 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star girlfriend inside San Francisco's AT&T Park last week.

'I was nervous. I was talking to her cousin. I was like, 'I don't know, what do you think she's going to say?' I'm not arrogant about love and feelings at all. I'm confident in the work I put so much work into, but this is someone else's feelings. You never know what someone else may feel at the time,' he told Seacrest.

'I just knew I wanted her to be my girl for a long time,' he said. 'I remember I saw a picture of her and Paris Hilton, and I remember telling my boy, 'Have you seen that girl Kim Kar-dijon?''
