Yesterday Kanye West took to his Twitter page to downplay the reports calling them false. West could be correct since the website, The Currant, that first published the story labeled itself a Satirical newspaper, another website like The Onion.
This is what Kanye West said on Twitter:
“Despite recent media reports, I’ve never said anything to dishonor or trivialize the life or transition of one of the most inspiring leaders”
“I’d like to address the false stories and noise that have been engineered by the media.”
“At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind.”
“Thank you, Mandela, for your life’s work and may it serve as a guiding light to illuminate our future.”
