Kanye west confirmed

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Bizarrely, his tweets began popping up on my twitter feed, when I checked it said I wasn’t following him, this morning it says I am following him - but I’ve never followed him before (his stream of nonsense clogs up my timeline) really odd. 

[ConorC]

Well, this week with Kanye and now the Kelis revelations about Nas. Dampening the excitement a bit.

I do think Kanye should be free to his opinions though. The reaction to his tweets this week has all been very 'big brother is watching'. Kanye is probably an exponent of doublethink anyway.

Yeah this happened to me too. Very strange situation.

which only seems to suggest that twitter are somehow involved in keeping Kanye's twitter follower numbers up.

In what way has it been anything like this?

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's been the opposite. Big Brother has been retweeting him.

I remember when I first read 1984.

See all 'CANCELLED' tweets immediately below his.

Who's to say I didn't mean from both sides?

He's already expressed support for Trump in the past hasn't he? Presumably he'll go back on his word again in due time.

Ingsoc were famous for their shade. Renowned for it. 

'War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength, slayyy kweeeeeeen.'

*Puffs pipe*

Orwell was a better writer of reportage than novels anyway

Where's the shade in the word 'Cancelled'? Ha.

It's a rejection of someone based on them liking something they don't agree with.

I don't agree either, but let the guy waffle on. As I say, he'll lean left again soon enough....and all will be forgotten, same as last time.

Kanye is free to his opinions. Why wouldn’t the fans be free to their opinions about Kanye’s new chums?

[ConorC]

Wouldn't even surprise me if the entire thing was a stunt. Even down to the John Legend text screenshots.

If that opinion is 'you're not allowed to hold that opinion'?

Beats me.

Beats me.

But that’s not the case at all.

He was a powerful, unafraid voice for the oppressed people in America. Fans naturally feel disappointed and betrayed by his recent actions.

Beats me.

Opinions aren't divorced from consequence, and support for a political ideology isn't 'opinion' anyway.

Again, repeated use of 'Cancelled' on every tweet would suggest that it is. 

People are perfectly entitled to feel disappointed and betrayed. You can disagree with him without telling him how to think. That goes for the John Legend texts too.

[ConorC]

Not too sure why I'm spending time on this, I don't care enough to be defending it. Suppose we'll just have to disagree on it.

Still hype for the album(s).

You know random people on twitter don't literally have the power to cancel Kanye, right? As in, terminate his record contract or banish him to the Phantom Zone or whatever

If you see John Legend’s text as someone trying to control Ye rather than a friend reaching out to rein him in, I would say you care more than you think you do. That’s exactly the stuff Kanye is flipping out over. Mental prisons and such.
