Kanye West says "people look at me like I'm Hitler"

Kanye West





Kanye West said he feels like people look at him like Hitler, which brings him a great deal of discomfort and uneasiness, according to media reports on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Chicago rapper was the headline act Saturday at England's Big Chill music festival, where he ranted in the middle of his set about being misunderstood and underappreciated.
Started his set roughly 30 minutes late, he apologized to the crowd for his tardiness, saying he needed to make sure his performance was great. West received light boos from the crowd as a result.
"I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm completely insane, like I'm Hitler," he said. "One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did."
The performer also defended the video for his song "Monster", which features cannibalism and girls hanging from their necks.
"Who saw the video before it got banned, before they took it down and before women's groups starting saying that a person that lost the most important woman in his life is now against women in some way?" asked West, referring to the 2007 death of his mother, Donda West.
The multiplatinum-seller is known for his outspokenness, most notably his dis toward Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, where he grabbed the microphone from her as she accepted a prize to say Beyonce should have won it.
