Of all the traits and public antics Kanye West is famous for, one is his ability to sing high praises of himself.
The rapper and music producer, who’s gearing up for the release of his new album – Jesus Is King, was recently quoted speaking on his own talent and artistry, while in conversation with radio DJ Zane Lowe.
Calling himself the ‘greatest artist of all time’, here what the ‘Four Five Seconds’ musician was quoted saying:
“I am unquestionably, undoubtedly, the greatest human artist of all time. It’s not even a question at this point. It’s just a fact.”
Like much of what he’s said and done in the past couple of years, the statement too faced ridicule online.
See some of the reactions:
1)
#KanyeWest needs to step off his ego trip. Best Artist in the world? fuck off.

#KanyeWest claiming he’s the greatest artist of all time is same as a guy claiming he’s the best lover. Those that are don’t need to say it. They just are. pic.twitter.com/cxgQKsGudC

Apparently somebody called Kanye West of whom I was previously only dimly aware has claimed the title of “best human artist of all time” with the rejoinder “it’s not even a question”.
Intrigued, I opened his work on Spotify.
Gentle reader, he is not.
