On February 13, 2005, superstar rapper Kanye West won a Grammy award at the 47th Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album as a result of his previously released album called College Dropout (2004). Kanye approached the podium to deliver his acceptance speech in a white outfit, and proceeded to give thanks to several individuals. The highlight of his speech was at the end when Kanye announced "everybody wanted to know what I would do if I didn't win. I guess we'll never know." Overall, the speech was brief, lacked details, and ended on a cliffhanger about what he would do. Kanye West's reluctance to share more information demonstrate a below-average example of the Volubility attribute.
