Rapper Kanye West has denied reports that he compared himself to Nelson Mandela.
In a series of tweets, Kanye has explained how he was misquoted and set the record straight over his supposed comments.
The Daily Currant had run a ‘fake’ interview with Kanye, where they quoted him as saying ‘I liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.’
“The #SamsungTwitterParty is back! Get ready to party the night away come 19th December at Zone 7 with fellow tweeps. Entrance is 15,000shs. Call 0775439894 for details. Great music and drinks.”
Taking to Twitter, Kanye wrote: ‘Despite recent media reports, I’ve never said anything to dishonor or trivialize the life or transition of one of the most inspiring leaders’.
Adding: ‘At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind.’
Kanye wasn’t the only celebrity to be the subject of a hoax, playing on their personality.
