Kanye West and new wife Kim Kardashian apparently obsessed over the wedding photo they released on Instagram throughout most of their honeymoon in Ireland.

"Let me tell you something about that kiss photo that my girl put up... this was pissing my girl off during the honeymoon, she was exhausted because we worked on the photo so much because Annie Leibovitz pulled out right before the wedding," West said on the panel for professionals in the creative communications industry at the Cannes Lions Festival, according to The New York Post.

"I think that she was, like, scared of the idea of celebrity. I was like, 'Okay, I still want my wedding photos to look like Annie Leibovitz,' and we sat there and worked on that photo for, like, four days because the flowers were off-color."

The photo featured Kardashian and West kissing in front of an altar and giant rose wall in Florence. The couple's photo managed to become the most-liked image ever on Instagram with more than 1.93 million likes and over 35,000 comments.

The rapper went on to explain how terrible the photo-editing experience was for the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

"Can you imagine telling someone -- who's the No. 1 person on Instagram, 'We need to work on the color of the flower wall,' or the idea that it's a Givenchy dress, and it's not about the name Givenchy, it's about the talent that is Riccardo Tisci -- and how important Kim is to the Internet. And the fact the No. 1 most-liked photo [on Instagram] has a kind of aesthetic was a win for what the mission is, which is raising the palette," West reportedly said.

West also discussed celebrity and branding deals, touching on Jay Z's deal with Samsung.

"I am not a fan of Samsung, by the way," he quipped, according to The Post.

"The reason I said I didn't like Samsung particularly is because throughout my entire life, because of how my parents raised me, I have to work with the number one. I can't work with anyone but Jay Z because he's number one. I can't be with any girl but Kim because that's the girl whose pictures I look at the most and get turned on by."

West reportedly continued, "I'm not going to represent any company but Louis Vuitton, because that's number one. Samsung is not quite Apple, but it showed that Jimmy [Iovine] and Dre would be able to connect with the number one influencers."

The new dad also felt he dealt with a lot of criticism regarding his public relationship with Kardashian.

"You have to be able to take the lashes of people not understanding: It took two years of people not understanding an interracial relationship like [Kim and I]. You have to take the lashes and be able to swim in backlash," West reportedly explained.

"The only way I can be an inspiration is, I get bashed so much but create so much. Just know if you want to be a boxer, you are going to get your face bashed in constantly, but you may be a Mayweather or an Ali at the end of it."

West added, "The world as a whole is f-cking ugly, and the Internet is f-cking ugly. But I am not in the construction business."
