Kenya West: I Am The Next Nelson Mandela by Youngamos(m): 6:14am On Dec 08, 2013
In an interview with WGCI radio in Chicago, the
American rapper said that yesterday’s death of the 95-
year-old South African leader will finally allow people to
focus more of their attention on West’s own
accomplishments.
When Kanye was asked who, in his opinion, could
possibly replace Nelson Mandela in terms of leadership,
he responded,
“I am the next Nelson 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.”
West claims he liberates minds with his music. To his
mind, that’s more important than liberating “a few
people from apartheid or whatever”.
West continues that even though he has huge respect
for Mandela, anyone can be replaced. The rapper says
that he is already worshiped in the whole world and
expects, noting,
“And there’s more to come.”
Watch the Throne
Nelson Mandela, renowned South African icon of
freedom and liberation, died yesterday at the age of
95, leaving the whole world mourning over his passing.
Meanwhile Kanye West is famous for attracting
people’s attention to his personality. His reaction today
was so unusual, however, that host Adrian Cronauer
decided to challenge his assertions.
“What have you actually done for civil rights?” he
attacked the self-confident celebrity. “Have you been
involved in any campaigns? Any political activities? It
seems to me comparing yourself to Mandela is a bit of
a stretch.”
West answered,
“I faced mad racism when I entered this profession. I
mean how many black rappers can you name that
came before me? I was a pioneer. And now I’m doing
the same thing in the fashion world.
“Not to mention I have a bigger market than he ever
did. Mandela was working in South Africa, which has,
like what, six people? I started my magic here in the
USA and then I took my business global. Worldwide
baby.” Pictures @ www.nationcrew.tk/forum/showtopic.php?id=177
