Last week at the American Music Awards Kanye West said "I want to be better than Elvis." Now he's comparing Beyonce to 69 year old queen of Rock, saying "...she's probably greater than Tina Turner." He's not just creating controversy for himself, he's doing it for others as well. I'm not quite sure this is the type of publicity that Beyonce would appreciate.
While I think both Kanye West and Beyonce have the potential to become the greats of this era, neither has yet dealt with what it takes to be a legend, and that is Longevity.
What's your opinion? Is he being disrespectful? Do you think he likes to creat a buzz?
By the way, Tina Turner is on an North American tour right now.
Beyoncé is better than Tina Turner! Well that what Kanye West reportedly exclaimed to reporters in New Zealand. “She is just as great, if not greater, than artists we had in the past…she’s probably greater than Tina Turner,” West said, according to singerroom.
While high praises are always welcomed, even from someone prone to knuckle-headed hyperbole as West, but the statement almost seems like a stunt, as if he’s trying to start somethin’ between Tina and Beyoncé.
Beyoncé already got in trouble with Aretha Franklin for reading a script that introduced Tina as “the Queen” before their riveting performance at this year’s Grammy award show. Now it seems that outside forces are pitting a very appreciative Beyoncé against one of her mentors.
