Let me start off by saying that I am a Kanye fanatic, but I’ll be the first to admit that the bloke has completely lost the plot. And by the looks of things the self-proclaimed “greatest living rockstar on the planet” is showing no attempt in hiding it.
Not too long ago Ye got wrapped up in some online beef with Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, then last week he turned his attention to Taylor Swift. Now he has been tweeting relentlessly about the release of his latest Album, The Life of Pablo (unless he’s changed it again), and it’s attracted some unexpectedly bemused attention from former Intelligence Community officer Edward Snowden.
In his latest bizarre Tweetstom the man of the hour wants us to start calling women “bruh” and wants Mark Zuckerberg to call him tomorrow…
While I think his severe case of online verbal diarrhoea is utterly hilarious, many people have had it up to here *raises hand above head* with the rapper’s frenzied pleas. Especially since he revealed that TLOP will only be available on Tidal – a streaming service that was slated over the weekend by users who couldn’t sign up for it.
Mr West’s week went from bad to worse when the desperate tone in his latter tweet attracted the attention of an unlikely figure; none other than computer pro Edward Snowden.
Clearly the man, who previously leaked top-secret information about NSA surveillance activities, thought that Kanye’s odd discourse was pretty cringe-worthy because he compared it to the now-infamous speech of Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush.
Previously, in one of the most awkward moments of the year, Bush asked the crowd in New Hampshire to “please clap”. If you didn’t manage to catch the speech, he was caught on camera begging voters to support his ideas. So it doesn’t take a genius to work out what Snowden was implying with his tweet.
Of course the internet have appreciated the NSA whistleblower’s analysis, with one individual even suggesting that he should be pardoned for his comical comparison.
But don’t worry everybody, I wouldn’t start feeling sorry for “God” just yet, by the looks of things his confidence could do with a beat down. Plus it will take a lot more than one scorching burn to drag him down from the pedestal he has placed himself upon.
Kanye has yet to respond to Snowden, but if I were the latter I’d be running for cover. If West’s latest feuds are anything to go by there’s sure to be a storm coming, covered head to toe in Yeezey clothing.
