Today Kanye took to Twitter to set the record straight: “I'd like to address the false stories and noise that have been engineered by the media,” he wrote on the social networking site. “Despite
recent media reports, I've never said anything to dishonor or trivialize the life or transition of one of the most inspiring leaders."
“At a young age my mother taught me the importance of his work. Mandela sacrificed his life for the betterment of mankind,” West continued. “Respect to Mandela, his family and his legacy.”
“Thank you, Mandela, for your life's work and may it serve as a guiding light to illuminate our future.”
