After returning to Twitter earlier this month, Kanye West has become the subject of countless news stories that address his controversial political statements, his rumored mental health issues, as well as his alleged family disputes. Some of these reports are so bizarre and confusing that it can be difficult to discern what’s true and what isn't; which is why Vince Staples has shared a seemingly obvious reminder to his followers: Don’t believe everything you read.
Earlier this week, a satirical online publication posted a story about Staples’ alleged attempt to “save” Kanye from the Kardashian family. The piece included fabricated quotes from the Big Fish rapper, as he described a night in which he faked a relationship with Kendall Jenner in attempt to infiltrate a “Saturday Spirit dinner” hosted at Kris Jenner’s house.
Here’s a portion of the fake report:
It was a bizarre account that apparently fooled a lot of people, including Chrissy Teigen.
On Saturday, Staples publicly addressed the satirical story and asked his followers to stop sharing the article. Of course, he delivered this message in the classic Staples way: “[…] This is day 4 of a conversation about a fabricated interview on a satire website that nobody ever heard of and I’m starting to think you niggas are actually stupid. Also good morning.”
