Kayne West
and PETA have never been great friends, but it’s only gotten worse
with the rapper’s latest song, “Theraflu.” The beef started back in
January 2010, when Kanye and his then-girlfriend Amber Rose were
spotted in lush fur coats at Paris Fashion Week.
At
the time, PETA’s senior vice president, Dan Matthews, had some
candid thoughts about the rapper’s fur-filled style. “Kanye can’t
help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or
a fashion show. He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures
from a shabby roadside zoo,” Matthews told the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
If
there was ever any any hope of reconciliation between the rapper
and the animal rights group, it has been slaughtered thanks to
Kanye’s newest track. In “Theraflu,” West raps, “Tell PETA my mink
is draggin’ on the floor.”
PETA was less than pleased when they heard the lyrics, and had a few biting words ready for West.
