Kanye West Goes in the media at Wireless Festival

Kanye West

 

Headlining the Wireless Festival in London Friday, topping a bill that also included Pharrell Williams and Iggy Azalea, Kanye West interrupted his own show to deliver a 10-minute rant about -- what else? -- why everyone is against him, especially in the fashion industry.
As quoted on RollingStone.com from a fan-shot video of the speech, Kanye said, in part, "People be looking at me like I got a problem or something. Like I’m uncontrollable or something. Like I don’t do what I’m supposed to do."
"It’s like they want to have everybody so brainwashed. They want to control everybody, you know, rumors, lies, media, marketing. It’s like they want to steal you from you, and sell you back to you after they stole it. They want to make you feel like you less than who you really are."
"When I take these meetings, people talk to you like you’re stupid or something… I’m not going to mention Nike or nothing like that. I’m not dissing Luis Vuitton, I’m not dissing the Gucci group. I’m just saying, don’t discriminate against me because I’m a black man or because I’m a celebrity and tell me that I can create, but not feel. 'Cause you know damn well there aren't no black guys or celebrities making no Louis Vuitton nothing."
"They let Pharrell make those glasses, and we liked them, right? They let me make those shoes, and we liked them right? And they say, 'No more. That’s too much. Stay in your place. Sit in the front of that show and wear this jacket I made you. Stay in your place. Do what you get paid to do. Don’t embarrass yourself trying to chase your dreams."
On a more positive note, he was careful to pay respect from the stage to Drake, is who was supposed to headline one night of the festival but had to drop out due to illness. Kanye did a second night as a fill-in for Drake, and played clips of "Trophies," "We Made It" and "All Me" to the crowd.
On Instagram, Drake thanked Kanye for the tribute and apologized to fans for missing the show.
