Entertainment: West poses as Jesus on mag cover
(REUTERS) Rapper Kanye West, outspoken
about personal
slights and more serious
charges of political persecution,
wears a crown of
thorns as he poses as Jesus
Christ on the cover of the latest
issue of Rolling Stone
magazine.
The feisty West also posed
as Muhammad Ali for the
magazine story, in which he
complains that his hit Gold
Digger should have been
nominated for a Grammy as
best rap song.
“That’s a gimme Grammy,”
said West, who nonetheless
garnered eight Grammy
nominations, including
one for best album for Late
Registration.
West caused a stir during
an NBC television benefit
concert for Hurricane Katrina
victims last September when
in an impromptu remark he
accused U.S. President
George W. Bush of racism.
“George Bush doesn’t care
about black people,” West
said in reference to delays in
providing relief to survivors
of the hurricane that hit the
U.S. Gulf Coast.
West also said at the
telethon that America was
set up “to help the poor, the
black people, the less welloff
as slow as possible.”
The rapper told Rolling
Stone in the issue that hits
newsstands tomorrow, “If I
was more complacent and
let things slide, my life
would be easier, but you all
wouldn’t be as entertained.”
