Kanye West Proclaims Himself Next Mandela?

Well did Kanye West who considered himself greater than Walt Disney, Steve Jobs and Picasso compare his greatness to that of the late Mandiba?  Well while its not totally beyond him, the father of North West didn't. This news sparked up controversy after a fake interview got into the media where Kanye rants that “I am the next Nelson Mandela.”

After  asatirical website called The Daily Currant published an article that reported the rapper was “under fire” for “claiming that he will soon be a bigger cultural and civil rights icon” than Mandela, who died on Thursday.

According to the fake story, West was asked about the late South African icon and said, “I am 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. By the time I’m 95, I’m going to be a bigger hero than he ever was.”

“Nelson Mandela did a lot of good work, don’t get me wrong,” West is “quoted” as saying in the fakeinterview. “But I think I’m on track to do something even bigger. I liberate minds with my music. That’s more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever.”

Anyway, while none of the above statement is real, but we have to admit its not something that's beyond the current Kanye rampage.
