Kanye Says: “I’m Done”
July 31, 2009 by N · 2 Comments
Earlier this week, Scrape Tv published a satirical interview with Kanye West in which the rapper said he wanted to be named the New King of Pop following Michael Jackson’s passing.
Despite the disclaimer on the bottom of the Scrape TV web page that reads, “All content herein should be considered rumour or truth based solely on your perspective” people believed the story anyway. The story spread through the blogosphere and was even reported on The Wendy Williams show.
Now Kanye has posted a message on his blog saying the story is just not true:
“I WAS JUST LISTENING TO WENDY WILLIAMS AND HEARD SOME QUOTE ABOUT ME SAYING I’M THE NEW KING OF POP. NOT ONLY DID I NOT SAY THAT, I HAVEN’T SAID ANYTHING. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT OBVIOUSLY I MADE PEOPLE FEEL THAT I WOULD BE CORNY ENOUGH TO SAY SOMETHING SO WHACK AFTER THE PASSING OF AN IDOL, A LEGEND AND MORE THAN THAT A HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND FAMILY. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE, WITHOUT EVEN A SOURCE. ANY RANDOM PERSON CAN TYPE SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET AND THEN THE WORLD BELIEVES IT. I DON’T TALK TO PRESS OR DO TV OR DO PROMOTIONS OF ANY SORT. I’VE STOPPED CHASING AND BUYING INTO FAME. FAME IS LIKE CIGARETTES WITH NO SURGEON GENERAL WARNING. IT DESTROYS MOST PEOPLE AS IT DID TO THE TRUE AND ONLY KING OF POP. WE EXPLOIT OURSELVES AND EAT OUR OWN EGOS ‘TILL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS WON’T BE THE LAST FALSE STATEMENT WITH MY NAME ON IT, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I DEFEND MYSELF. I’M DONE.”

You know it is sad though that Kanye has portrayed himself as someone that would say that. We believed it because we have heard him say crazy things before. If he had not given the world the image we may not have believed it so quickly.
