The self-proclaimed king of pop has made a career out of annoying the masses and flooding the radio with his poppy mainstream and cookie-cutter hits.
Kanye West is no stranger when it comes to courting controversy, he's gone so far as to compare himself to Walt Disney, Picasso, Beethoven, Jesus Christ, and even God Himself. He's equally well-known for his much-lampooned interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV 2009 awards and his selfish declaration that "George Bush doesn't care about black people." While the people in New Orleans were in need of help, West made a point of making him the subject to be discussed.
And while many people would love to kick him out of our country, it seems he might actually be leaving the United States of America of his own free will!
It seems that his current wife, Kim Kardashian, was entering a medical building when a racial slur was thrown her way. Allegedly, the teen was told not to use that word, to which he responded by threatening to murder Kim. When West was told of the exchange, he walked up to the teenager and punched him in the face.
Now, the rapper is "threatening" to leave our country because he doesn't want to explain racism and American culture and history to his child. He was quoted saying, “We’ve got enough money to buy our own island or some sh*t. I’ll be damned if I raise my daughter around ignorance and flat-out blatant racism.”
What do you think about Kanye West's "threat?" Should we beg him to keep releasing world-changing pop music and mediocre beats along with conformist lyrics? Or should we let this "voice of the generation" go as far away as possible?
What the teenager said was unacceptable behavior, but to group all Americans as being racist due to the actions of one individual is exactly the same thing that he's "threatening" to leave America for. Please check out the video below of one of the artist's finest moments.
