Kanye West To PETA, Anti-fur Critics: ‘We Were Born Naked’; Amber Rose, Photos
Written by J.R. on February 4th, 2010 in Celebrity News, Fashion, Gossip/Rumors, People - U.S., Hip Hop, Fashion Police, Kanye West, News, Amber Rose.
Kanye West recently addressed PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and other anti-fur activists who criticized the rapper/producer along with Amber Rose after the couple was recently seen in photographs ‘rockin’ fur coats, as reported on www.HipHopRX.com.
Though ‘Ye’ said in his statement, as posted on SOHH, that he was “saddened” over the negative comments about him, he adds that he has to remember that those people are “scared, incapable and plain idiots.”
The rapper claims that they are the “rock stars” that quote “live it!” The rapper questions whether some people could live the life of a “true icon” targeted with “constant hate” and goes on to joke that since “Barack is President blacks don’t like fur coats, red leather or fried chicken” and adds that we should let the “ball players dance when they score.”
Apparently “Ye” is saying that America is too uptight?!
“We were born naked,” Kanye West adds in his blog statement. “Fresh is an opinion, love is an objective, taste is selective, and expression is my favorite elective,” he adds ending with “no more politics or apologies!”
Read his full statement according to SOHH as it seems to have been removed from his blog.

well then kanye and amber are HYPOCRITES!!! why would you pose for anti-fur PETA ad when you know you don’t really
mean it??? so i guess that was just more publicity for you rather than what it was actually intended for?
i’m really starting to lose all respect for kanye. don’t even get me started on the fur!!!

“AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO ARE WE HURTING??? OH “THE NEW BLACK???” SINCE BARACK IS PRESIDENT BLACKS DON’T LIKE FUR COATS, RED LEATHER, AND FRIED CHICKEN ANY MORE?!”
Wow. Kanye just wants to play up to every white supremacist, David Duke, Klaus Barbie type that ever walked the face of the earth don’t he/it? People have decided that fur -ESPECIALLY OF AN ENDANGERED BIG CAT-is an ostentatious and ugly thing to own. The last time I checked, black people were allowed to have opinions that don’t fit stereotypes created by white supremacy OR the idiots in their own communities such as yourself kanye.
And you ARE UGLY KANYE! You have an UGLY face and and UGLY heart. Why would any First world person would kill a big cat for it’s pelt? The cat looks so much more beautiful in it than ugly pear stank amber. They avoid humans as much as possible and the killing of lynxs directly contributes to the big cat illegal fur trade. Big cats are not chickens or yoghurts, they are top predators that represent the wilderness, forests, deserts sustaining themselves and us! Kayne is the one who is racist and he is the one who has no class or ethics. Anyone who would defend his Lynx and snow leopard coats should see an animal skinned alive before their very eyes after being electrically shocked anally and then see what a dope bother KW is, “know what am sayin?” The ghetto white, black and brown KW defenders are disgusting. None them you can even string sentence together or convey an opinion without throwing race cards in the air by the deck! Human refuse all of them.
