American rapper Kanye West compared himself to Russian President Vladimir Putin 
American rapper Kanye West called himself young Vladimir Putin. The musician compared himself to the president of Russia during the Drink Champs show, published on the YouTube channel Revolt.
The musician said that he collaborates with Gap, Adidas and has a great influence on brands. “I realized that I am like Vladimir [Putin] when I realized that culture is oil. Culture is energy. And I have been the king of culture for the last 20 years and will continue to be for the next 2000 years, ”West said.
The hosts interrupted the artist several times and laughed at this comparison. They clarified whether the rapper really compares himself to the Russian president.
Last year, Kanye West posted a series of posts on his Twitter account in which he declared himself the new Moses and refused to release new music until the company , with whom he signed contracts, will not release him from obligations under them. The musician also posted a snapshot of Putin on the social network, having previously printed and hung it on his wall.
