Woman Confronts Kanye West; Puts Pork In Her V-Hole Throughout
August 1st, 2009
Believe it or not, the title of this post is true.
Yes.
A group of downtown New York performance artists decided to honor the man, the myth, that is Kanye West and his last album 808s & Heartbreak, in a live show called “Why Won’t You Let Me Be Great!!!” at the P.S. 122 Performance Space. The show was to feature various artists — dancers, singers, musicians, filmmakers — presenting reinterpretations of each song from Kanye’s last album.
And much to the shock of every single person in the room, Kanye West, the real guy, decided to show up and catch the show for himself. MTV.com’s Jim Cantiello (@jambajim) was on the scene to document the shock and awe of the theater goers, specifically when one performer decided to harangue Mr. West in the audience, all while doing something decidedly unkosher with pieces of pork. He writes:
The evening became tense and uncomfortable when notorious (and buck-naked) performance artist Ann Liv Young confronted Kanye personally, shouting that she didn’t think 808s was his best work, all the while grinding barbeque pork into her naked crotch (and then eating it). We all know Kanye is no stranger to confrontation and controversy, so perhaps Liv Young was paying tribute to that? In any case, the audience reacted with absolute horror during her “interpretation” of “Love Lockdown.” To Kanye’s credit, he barely flinched. (Liv Young rather shrewdly ended her performance by shouting, “I love your work with Common” before gathering her clothes — and pork products — and scurrying offstage.)
So there you have it: Kanye West has officially seen everything. Major props to him for not booting up everything and anything he had ever eaten in his lifetime. And he looked none-to-phased later on in the evening, as he made a special guest appearance at the Diesel U Music 2009 NYC Tour (seen right). Good on you, Kanye. Way to be mature throughout a situation that EVERY OTHER HUMAN BEING ON EARTH would have rightfully freaked out about.
