Kanye Bans Himself

Posted Wed 21 Oct 2009 3:51PM BST by Johnny Famethrowa in Touching The Void
Kanye West is having a rough time of it lately. Last week, it was reported the much maligned rapper planned to flee the Western world and seek a safe haven at a Hindu retreat in India, to escape the public outrage that followed his clearly very rude interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs in New York. Today, all the headlines are about an online hoax which claimed had been killed in a car crash. Not true, obviously, as his girlfriend Amber Rose has now insisted, damning the people that would make such a thing up.

What is true, however, in the latest instalment of Kanye's 2009 meltdown, is his decision to pull a short film made with acclaimed director Spike Jonze from his official website. "Sorry I had to take it down", he explained, of the self-undulgent, bizarre and a little gruesome 11-minute (ahem) art-house short. "We Were Once A Fairytale" was originally aired at the LA Film Festival in June and was supposed to become available to buy on iTunes. Why did this never happen? Who knows. But watching it gives us a pretty good indication of where Kanye's head is currently at...

Kanye West is not dead and this is not the first time the death of a celebrity was faked on the internet. Lots of people were quick to search for news about Kayne West's death while the Twitter crew are busy adding fuel to the rumors. Twitter is known to have fueled sparks in rumors thanks to its massive user base and popularity. However one question still remains to be answered, who indeed started this rumor that was first taken to Twitter and then spread very fast?Well This is how it all started http://ketiva.com/News_and_Events/kanye_west_is_not_dead_and_this_is_how_it_all_started1.html

Kanye why not go to a country in Africa, experience a new culture and way of life. A change like that would be healthy not just for the mind and body but soul as well. Importantly find a charity that you can help out in. An wildlife animal sanctuary would be very nice. See Lewa in Kenya or an excellent get away Shompole also in Kenya.

I ddon't know about travelling to Africa, Leah, with the heat and the mosquitoes, he just might suffer a Nervous Breakdown.

Who would be so cruel as to fake someone's death?

Kanye is not right in the head.

He is egotistical and has no respect for others. What he does every time something happens he doesnt like (throwing a tamtrum like a child) is boring and old. I've made a point of not buying or listening to any songs he produces or makes - which means I miss out on the new Jay-Z but alas.

On the other hand a friend sent me this link and I have to say it's a very well made video. Spike is one talented man so we knew that... but I still do not like Kanye.
