Not even Kanye West is delusional enough to compare himself to the late, great civil rights leader Nelson Mandela. "The Daily Currant" published a fake interview with the "Bound 2" rapper quoting him as saying fans of the recently deceased South African icon shouldn't be crying over his death because West will replace him in regards to social significance.

"Not to say Mandela wasn't for real. I have mad respect. I just think we need to keep things in perspective here. Anyone can be replaced. And I think I'm well on my way towards being the next great black leader. I'm already worshiped around the world. And there's more to come," the website quotes West as saying in the fake interview.

"I've blazed a trail with my career," West responded to being challenged by host Arian Cronauer. "I faced immeasurable racism when I entered this profession. I mean how many black rappers can you name that came before me? I was a pioneer. And now I'm doing the same thing in the fashion world.

Outrage soon followed after the fake interview was posted online. Some fans thinking West's comments were real urged for the rapper to be sentenced to 27 years in jail for comparing himself to Mandela.

West recently claimed he was Steve Jobs reincarnated. That interview was real.
