南非前總統曼德拉（Nelson Mandela）於 12 月 5 日因病逝世，享年 95 歲。在各地紛紛為這位被視為南非國父的人民英雄舉行悼念活動的時候，美國新聞網站 The Daily Currant 就指出當紅饒舌歌手 Kanye West 曾經稱自己為「下一個曼德拉 The Next Nelson Mandela」，令 Kanye West 再次成為焦點人物。在外間猛烈批評之下，向來敢言的 Kanye West 最近就透過其 Twitter 帳號首次公開回應事件；Kanye West 澄清自己並沒有發表過相關言論，除了斥責傳媒無中生有的報導之外，更表示自己一直都非常尊重曼德拉及其家人，並給曼德拉敬上最崇高的致意。
Respect to Mandela, his family and his legacy.

At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind.
