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.”
