Kanye West Forced To Clarify Kim Kardashian, Beyonce Comparison?

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Kanye West, 34, endures a lot from the media, even the President, but rarely speaks against being misquoted or complete fabrications, well not directly to the media. So, for the “Otis” rapper to offer clarification about a specific quote that has generated miles of blog traffic and made it to a SNL skit, is a bit of a shocker. For the record, Kanye never explicitly compared Kim Kardashian to Beyonce.

“Come on now, that doesn’t even sound like me,” said West. “If I don’t say something in a rap or on Twitter, it’s not true.”

To his credit, the “Way Too Cold” (changed from “Theraflu” to avoid possible lawsuits) rapper has a point. His ego is a bit too ballooned to want to channel his woman after another man’s wife – his friend and frequent collaborator, Jay-Z to be specific. Speaking of his woman, funny how ‘Ye never discredited the dating talk about him and Kim Kardashian. Interesting!

“…of course there are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding this past couple of weeks…I would never compare anyone to my friend’s wife,” West tells Us Weekly.

The rapper turned designer bomb-rushed the blogosphere when he released the scathing track taking poignant shots at his ex Amber Rose to his alleged love interest’s ex-husband, Kris Humphries. Coincidentally, the same livewire set off dating rumors when he professed his love for the brunette bombshell.

Do you think Kanye received a call from Jay-Z with some nudging from Beyonce to set the record straight? Hmmm..

 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
