TORONTO — Activist hacker group Anonymous appears to have posted a video calling rapper Kanye West a “spoiled little brat” whose behaviour “will not be tolerated anymore.”
The seven-and-a-half-minute video, which appeared online late last month, begins with a clip of West’s rant about artistry and his protest of Grammy winner Beck.
“You represent yourself as a man of class yet everything you say and do is the exact opposite of that,” the masked man in the video says.
“You will always be the hot-headed Chicago-born spoiled little brat that you are and no expensive designer wear can ever cover that up.
The man in the Guy Fawkes mask continues: “You smack other artists in the face if they don’t fit your personal definition of an artist. 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.”
Anonymous also brings up West’s wife Kim Kardashian and her nude photos.
“Why not take it further? Why don’t we get a family portrait of all of your greasy bottoms for the whole word to see? That would gain you a ton of attention. You can use it to promote your new shoes. That would be genius. Your mother would have loved it. I’m sure she would have jumped right in the picture for her own close-up.”
The group warns that West and Kardashian are setting up their daughter North for bullying.
“One day your daughter will face the repercussions of this photo with classmates in school. You also are condoning this to the young girls who follow Kim on Twitter and witnessed her success as she continuously rises to fame and stardom using her body.”
Anonymous takes particular issue with West’s recent proclamation that he is a Renaissance Man.
“I think it’s time to awaken from your insanity, Mr. West,” the man in the video says. “In reality, you’re not a Renaissance man, you’re just a new slave that the industry uses to help keep the population in a cycle of stupidity and distraction.
“You waste the powerful opportunity and pollute the planet even more with your bickering, loud mouth, overgrown ego, annoying influence, and mission-less message. Fashion shows are not going to make the world a better place, Mr. West.”
