Kanye West says reports he compared himself to the late Nelson Mandela are a hoax.
Rapper Kanye West has denied reports that he compared himself to Nelson Mandela.
In a series of tweets, Kanye has explained how he was misquoted and set the record straight over his supposed comments.
The Daily Currant had run a "fake" interview with Kanye, where they quoted him as saying:
"I liberate minds with my music. That's more important than liberating a few people from apartheid or whatever."
Taking to Twitter, Kanye wrote:
I'd like to address the false stories and noise that have been engineered by the media.
