Kanye West has released a series of Twitter updates regarding Nelson Mandela’s passing.
In the series of Twitter posts, West discussed Mandela’s family, life and legacy.
“Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind,” West wrote in a Twitter post. “Thank you, Mandela, for your life’s work and may it serve as a guiding light to illuminate our future.”
West also denied recent reports made by some outlets concerning West’s comments about Mandela.
On Friday (December 6), The Daily Currant posted a false interview claiming to be with Kanye West. The Daily Currant refers to itself as “The Global Satirical Newspaper of Record,” according to Huffington Post. However, other publications picked up the story and attributed the quotes to West.
In the made-up interview by the site, West said that he believes he is “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,” The Daily Currant claimed West said. “By the time I’m 95, I’m going to be a bigger hero than he ever was.”
Nelson Mandela, a South African activist and leader of the anti-apartheid movement, passed away Thursday (December 5). He was 95.
West’s Twitter statements can be viewed below.

I am Captain Kangaroo in the flesh. Smuckers. Kotex. M&M’s. Let me create more. Or do you want to marginalize me till I’m out of my moment? I am the number one, most impactful, artist of our generation.
You ain’t gotta turn up, man. This ain’t no fucking show!!!
YOU AIN’T GOT THE ANSWERS, SWAY! YOU AIN’T GOT THE ANSWERS!

You ain’t gotta turn up, man. This ain’t no fucking show!
“Yo Kanye just sent some tweets out about Nelson Mandela,who wants to bet that hiphopdx is gonna make it news before today runs out?” – Someone who posted on the Gibbs article earlier today
He probably did say that, only this time he chose the wrong comparison and got called out. Egotistical prick.
stfu fagg
Takes one to know one, now assume the position!
Dipshit, it was from a British satire website, like the UK version of the Onion.
Gotta hate people that read the title of an article and then jump to conclusions and say something derogatory in the comments with no base for their claims. Next time try reading the actual article so you don’t sound like a complete fucking idiot.
I don’t think he said it, but I think would have eventually.
When I saw the account balance saying $1 million . . . Just fuckin witcha. I ain’t spam.
You’re just a moron
Saying that Mandela sacrificed for “mankind” is a bit of a stretch, he sacrificed for non-white people by fighting white-Supremacy.
Whites hated and despised Mandela, he was on the U.S. terrorist list up until 2008 wen the US presidency was occupied by a non-white.
Similiar to Muhammad Ali whites never champion you untill you are dead, incapacitated or no longer involved in the struggle.
Sure you can parade a Black president of South Africa around to make the world feel better about their complicity in Apartheid but we all know it’s a sham used to distract from the fact that land distribution and South Africa’s mineral resources are topics people don’t want to address because of Europeon manipulation.
Salute Mandela who believed in armed-struggle to fight white supremacy.
TRUTH!
just before I saw the bank draft which was of $7049, I have faith …that…my neighbours mother was like they say trully earning money part-time on their laptop.. there sisters roommate had bean doing this 4 only 9 months and resantly paid the mortgage on there villa and purchased a great new Volkswagen Golf GTI. published here… http://www.Fb39.com
I listened to it twice and I’m going to stand by my opinion. Not everybody gonna like the same shit. Different people like different things. AAAAAAARGH!!
c’mon kanye!!!!!!!! you’ve really disappointed me this time by disrespecting legendary mandela
He didn’t…it was a fake interview! My God man was it gonna take you that much of your time to read whole article??
Someone called this article coming on another article earlier today… lol
I hope real south african killers get at kanye. I have never lost so much respect for someone.
He never said disrespectful shit towards Nelson Mandela. GET IT INTO YOUR HEADS MORONS!!!!
Said it before… Next interview he’ll be comparing himself to him.
Nigga, I’m greater than I am!
READ….then talk!
SUCK….then swallow!
SWALLOW….these nuts!
I once liked you Kanye. I once respected your lyrics and your hussle. Nowadays everything you say is garbage. Your marriage is proof of that. The Sway interview cemented it. We respect what you’ve done for the culture but it’s time to go man. It’s over……
So….we’re mad at Kanye even though it’s a false story about him? loL, y’all some sad individuals.
Yeah cuz people are fuckin stupid they dont know how to fuckin read they just troll, piss, wank and shit!
I read it, still think he is a fucking little whiny bitch, the tide has quickly turned on him, no one like the little bitch that he has become.
I wasn’t referring to this article, just him as a whole. If you can’t see that then your a SAD INDIVIDUAL!
Wouldn’t be surprised if he did say that. This dude is so full of himself it is unreal.
Kanye just needs to realize that he is rich and famous mostly for being a good hip hop producer, somewhat good rapper, and for being a fashion designer lastly. Meanwhile, his wife is famous solely for a sex tape and the ensuing drama surrounding that and her reality tv show. He gets it so twisted it’s not even funny. He thinks he’s going to own a trillion dollar corporation one day. He should be happy people like his music because without that he would have nothing and nobody would care about him. He should never forget that, but it clearly seems like he has and probably wont come back to reality anytime soon.
most of these rappers aint real nggas. Word, Nas bankrupt never was a drug runner, Lil Wayne aint no blood, Jeezy aint no BMF, 50 a snitch, Game a stripper, Kanye was gay . None of these nggas real you guys. If they was all real they all be dead now. Like it or not Rick Ross is the new biggie.
BAWSE!!!!!
And Rick Ross was a pig aka snitch aka police officer…
You dont know shit about what hiphop really is! U better check out KRS-One, Mos Def, Common and Jeru for some proper education!
mother killer
kanye is so full of himself
The interview was not real it was made up….read bitch!
Uh, so fucking what! Kayne Kardashian is still full of himself
Any real follower of Mandela would tell you that he despised the media attention he has received over the years because of his efforts and public officials only lionize him because he could not speak out against our foreign policy.
Kanye is going to bring cross colors gear back, watch!
Goodbye Jesus piece, hello African medallion!
he didnt say shit thats what you for fucken with ypoy noooo hppppp
stop drinking lean out of grimace’s ass with a crazy straw
Can I get a sip?
AHAHAHAHAHA!
Mandela came to the opinion that the ANC “had no alternative to armed and violent resistance” after taking part in the unsuccessful protest to prevent the demolition of the all-black Sophiatown suburb of Johannesburg in February 1955.[84] He advised Sisulu to request weaponry from the People’s Republic of China, but though supporting the anti-apartheid struggle, China’s government believed the movement insufficiently prepared for guerilla warfare.[85] With the involvement of the South African Indian Congress, the Coloured People’s Congress, the South African Congress of Trade Unions and the Congress of Democrats, the ANC planned a Congress of the People, calling on all South Africans to send in proposals for a post-apartheid era. Based on the responses, a Freedom Charter was drafted by Rusty Bernstein, calling for the creation of a democratic, non-racialist state with the nationalisation of major industry. When the charter was adopted at a June 1955 conference in Kliptown attended by 3000 delegates, police cracked down on the event, but it remained a key part of Mandela’s ideology. IN 1955 MANDELA WAS 36. YOU HAVEN’T DONE SHIT KANYE.
Stop copy and pasting off wikipedia and then ending with an all caps statement in your words. Shit is lazy.
go mind your own modus operandi fagget, idgf if “it’s lazy”
you’re a dumb fuck……and stop projecting that self hate
KANYE DIDNT SAY SHIT PREACHY ASS BUTTWAD!!
C’mon y’all! I just said that he couldn’t rap or dress better than me….that’s it!
Yo Yeezy!!!Don’t be frontin’ boy you said he couldn’t handle a dick better than you.I make music for white girls now,so I don’t give a fuck if a jungle nigga die anyway,ya heard!!!
Cut me a check and make sure me and B get money,I’m so rich I’m not even black anymore.Fuck dead niggas and live niggas.
Regardless…Kanye is still a clown, nobody takes him serious. He needs to stop acting like hes executive blood or should be respected as a business man…you’re a clown, an unsophisticated arrogant clown who can hardly piece together an effective sentence/statement. Quit acting like you’re an executive Kanye…Jay-Z too…stupid mother fuckers. You should be ashamed of yourself for even considering yourself close to the brilliance of some of the people you compare yourself to. I know he didnt say that about Mandela but still…you’re a clown and that money has you thinking crazy, you’re still a stupid motha fucker that needs to get on some schitzo medicine…quick! Go back to school and actually study so you could have an intelligent conversation with someone you impulsive stupid Cupcake skirt wearin retarted ass motha fucker lol.
Ummm…. I don’t think kanye is going to read your post, he’s probably to busy making millions of dollars like a business man should. Get a life clown

Politicians and big brand corporations use the media to influence your opinion on people, products, services , other nations, etc. its a fact If you are on a computer that is connected to the worldwide web and you dont know that then you are beyond saving.

Cant you fuckin read?? It was a MADE UP interview…a fake one…faux…falso..not true! He never said any of that shit!
So, fuck him. He has compared himself to many figures/actions who are equal or if not greater than Madiba(/s). Kanye is an idiot, not just a normal idiot but a delusional one. Fuck him, the PR is slipping and no-one wants to hear him speak. So, fuck you too.
This clown reminds me of the so-called black militant wearing a dashiki with the white wife and mixed kids in ‘Im gonna git you sucka’.
Someone please kill this nigga, he is getting to be more annoying than Drake.
I am such a little bitch that I took my girls last name, always wanted to be a Kardashian.
People just need to stop supporting these egotistical artist.
