After threatening Australian rapper Iggy Azalea late last year for “misappropriating black culture,” the hacktivist group known as Anonymous has found a new set of entertainers to target. In a nearly eight-minute long video posted on YouTube this week, Anonymous took aim at Kanye West and his wife, Kim Kardashian.
The video begins with a snippet of Kanye’s post-Grammy Awards interview with E! and also includes clips of Ye’s notorious interview with Sway Calloway, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” parody of the rapper’s Zane Lowe interview, Kanye’s interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, and more.
An Anonymous narrator then proceeds to speak on the group’s gripes with the Chicago, Illinois lyricist.
“Mr. West, good evening, we are Anonymous,” the narrator in the alleged Anonymous video says. “It seems that you just don’t know when it is appropriate to blurt out your opinions. This is consistent with you. You always have to steal the moment from others who work equally as hard for their recognition. And you assume, and even expect everyone else to be aligned with your personal opinions…You’re like a spoiled child in a grown man’s body. Who is ready to set off a boiling temper tantrum the very moment you don’t get all the things you want. I bet your wife is subconsciously fed up with raising a little boy for a husband. And I am sure your mother would have been so proud of your behavior.”
Kim Kardashian is also called out in the video, and Kanye is criticized for supporting his wife’s decision to use her body for “fame and stardom.”
“You also are condoning this to the young girls who follow Kim on Twitter and witnessed her success as she continually rises to fame and stardom using her body,” the rep for Anonymous says. “What a fantastic moral to spread, right? Well, there’s an upbringing that would make every mother leap for joy. After all, what’s wrong with teaching teenage girls that society actually rewards you for posing nude…What a great idea you can teach your daughter.”

Well, damn!
awww shit
I’m rolling with Anonymous on this one.
So, you’re rolling with the clowns in their clown-mobile.
someone woke up
When it All Falls Down, Kanye gonna crawl around
I love Kanye’s music, he along with Jay has done more for hiphop then most but this video does make a point.
Kanye and Jay-Z haven’t done shit for hip-hop culture except help to dumb it down. They music is WACK! Even Jay’s highly praised debut album “Reasonable Doubt” is a boring, overrated album, that nobody gave a shit about until Jay became more marketed and promoted. People are so susceptible to brainwashing.
This is a fake “Anonymous.” Do the knowledge and don’t be blind sheep. Just some rando…
Of course it’s a fake but they are turning Anonymous into a laughingstock, I can never ever again take anything Anonymous says seriously again, that is is what happens when idiots use your name.
That’s the problem with being Anonymous…no one can ever be sure if it is really you, or anyone at all.
plz be careful and aware with videos like this.The points made in the video are great but the fact he “they”say fuck you to kanye and at the end of the video they say we dont forget or forgive. thats not right. “please forgive them as they know not what they do”. anyways i feel bad for celebrities that are like this. there children that need help.love to all. this anonymous group could be a government thing to make that mass think there light at the end of the tunnel
The New Terrorist that America nor anyone else in the world can stop.
Anonymous has become a bunch of clowns, It pains me to see a once powerful organization now flushed down the drain by these new idiots. Kanye, just like Iggy should just laugh at these clowns and ignore them.
Who’s to say this is the real Anonymous? Being that nobody knows who they are, literally anyone can claim to be them and use their name.
Kanye West has become a clown. It pains me to see a once powerful artist now flushed down the drain.
To those sayin Anonymous is nothin but clowns now, this video was created by one individual and it’s not like Anonymous as a whole would choose to waste their time takin shots at some ignorant, childish celebrities. Anonymous as a whole actually makes a difference for the better, what are you doing to help bring the much-needed positive change our society is starving for? And everything stated in this video is on-point and needs to be said so why complain? I’m lookin forward to when intelligence is cool again in the music industry but if everyone keeps supporting the same mindless garbage put out by these major labels tryin to dumb us down who knows if that will ever happen
MBDTF still slams. but their right. kanye married the patron saint of gold diggers after making the phrase popular.
They’re (they are), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a great album, but I agree that they’re right. Their (possession), “The family rode in their car.” There (a place), “Hey look over there!”
Hollywood must go away. The same way they got rid of “Black Wall Street”.If you don’t know your history. Do your research. #timetowakeup #allrace’s #weareone
Well said ….
Wow. This makes some miraculously good points.
LOL at Anonymous’ sarcasm… gosh these nerds dont scare ANYONE…
SAY IT WITH YOUR CHEST BITCH!!!
“Anonymous” is NOT a “group”. It does not have “members”. It does not have opinions. It’s a uniquely 21st century phenomenon. There is no such thing as the “real” anonymous. That’s the whole fucking point.
