‘Mandela liberated a few people from apartheid’ – Kanye West DIDN’T say this, did he?

One of America’s most controversial rapper, Kanye West, is at it again.

West, who is known to be notoriously self-promoting, made a statement many may consider ridiculous during an interview on WGCI radio in Chicago, Illinois.

He said the death of  the former South African leader, Nelson Mandela, will finally allow people to focus more of their attention on his own accomplishments.

His visit to the radio station was to promote his new music video, Bound 2, which features his fiancee and ‘baby mama’, Kim Kardashian. However, the conversation switched to the issue of Nelson Mandela’s death and West was asked who he thought in the world today could possibly replace Mandela in terms of leadership. His response left everyone speechless.

In his words, “I am the next Mandela. I’m only 36 years old, and when I look at everything I’ve accomplished, it’s the only comparison that makes any sense. By the time I’m 95, I’m going to be a bigger hero than he ever was.”

“Nelson Mandela did a lot of good work, don’t get me wrong. But I think I’m on track to do something even bigger. I liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever. Not to say Mandela wasn’t for real. I have mad respect. I just think we need to keep things in perspective here. Anyone can be replaced. And I think I’m well on my way towards being the next great black leader. I’m already worshiped around the world. And there’s more to come.”

 

This ‘interview’ has been confirmed to be a work of satire.

  1. I don't even know why people still pay attention to whatever Kanye West says…The thing we should listen to from him is 'music' not speeches outside music as it seems that he talks like like a Toddler with incomplete skull.

  2. I hate his face! …and every word that comes out of his mouth! He's always been a Douchebag!

  3. This is a FAKE article, you should check your sources before posting such negative things about people.
