Anonymous says Kanye West is “a new slave that the industry
uses to help keep the population in a cycle of stupidity and distraction.”
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.”
