Despite not being a massive fan of Kanye's music, Matt named his cats after the musician and his wife. In an interview with Radio.com, Matt said of Kanye:

"I've listened to bits of that new record Yeezus. I like some of the sounds, but some of the lyrics of those artists throw me off a bit. It's very full on, in your face, it's very 'me, me, me'."

Matt wasn't inspired to name his cats after the musician until he came backstage following one of the band's performances. Apparently this brief meeting was enough to leave an impression on Bellamy, who later clarified on BBC Radio One that his cats really were named after Kim and Kanye.

We may be some way off a Kanye West/Muse collaboration, but it's pretty amusing to think about nevertheless.
