Hip-hop superstar Kanye West embarked on a lengthy rant at one his recent UK gigs, hitting out at the corporate side of the music game - and even referring to Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z’s new track ‘Suit & Tie’.
The 35 year-old was performing in London’s Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday (February 23rd) night, and decided that he’d take the opportunity to make his feelings about corporations, the Grammys, and even his pals Jay-Z and Timberlake known, in a video you can check out below.
“They trying to put their logos on every concert and shit. For the meet and greet, you gotta meet the execs and their daughters. And they'll show you what they just bought her...
“So, you gonna help me put on a better show, corporations? Can you please support me? Please? Me, Kanye West. I swear I'm a nice leader now. I swear I'll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please. Just for $3 million. I need it so bad. I need a pool in my backyard! So I'll tell all my fans your shit is cool. And if they believe in me, then they’ll also believe in you.”
He also made a comment which many believe to be a dig at Timberlake and Jay-Z, saying: “I got love for Hov [an alternative alias of Jay-Z], but I ain't fucking with that 'Suit & Tie'.”
West went on to take a dig at the Grammys, saying: ”Remind me again why the Grammys can suck my dick?”
