Kanye West Fake Smile Meme Template

About this meme

A televised NBA game where Kanye West was spotted on the Jumbotron; he was caught transitioning from a wide grin to a sudden, stoic expression as soon as he realized he was being filmed.

The Smile: Kanye is seen in the crowd, smiling broadly and showing his teeth, seemingly enjoying the game.
The Realization: His eyes shift toward the camera/Jumbotron.
The Shift: In less than a second, his facial muscles completely relax, his smile vanishes, and he adopts a stern, "serious" face, looking away as if he was never smiling at all.
