Opsies, Kanye West showed the world his computer screen and one of the tabs showed the illegal torrent site, Pirate Bay. This is incredibly hypocritical of Kanye if he’s indeed using the illegal downloading software, because he just went off on a rant against sites like these.

Kanye West is in a bit of pickle. The rapper posted a pic of his computer screen on March 1 of himself listening to Sufjan Stevens‘ track ‘Death With Dignity’ on Youtube, but that’s not what people were focused on. What Kanye didn’t do was close all of his various tabs before taking the pic and he accidentally revealed that he had Pirate Bay, an illegal pirating site, open on his computer. This lead to speculation and outrage considering Kanye has been so vocal about people not using these type of sites. This would truly be his most ridiculous and hypocritical move yet.



Here’s the deal, on this computer, which appears to be Kanye’s, he has a page open for Serum, a synthesizer made by Xfer Records and next to that he has Pirate Bay open with Xfer. So did he illegally download the software to test it out first before buying it? It’s only $189 dollars so Kanye must be really strapped for cash if he can’t afford to just buy it outright. We must admit that we’re pretty shocked. Kanye made a huge deal about his fans not using sites like these because he loses millions of dollars. When he dropped The Life Of Pablo he repeatedly said that he would never put his music on iTunes and that everyone must download Tidal to hear his music. This enraged tons of fans and celebs on Twitter, including deejay Deadmau5.

What makes this incredibly nauseating is that Kanye actually threatened to sue Pirate Bay for allowing users to illegally download The Life Of Pablo over half a million times. “Kanye is going to meet with his legal team to discuss the possibilities of starting legal action against torrent site Pirate Bay,” a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “Because of this breach, Kanye has been difficult to be around. He’s touchy, angry and feels like his material was stolen. He hates the idea of people not paying for his music and feels someone needs to be held accountable for that.”

HollywoodLifers, do you think Kanye uses this site and is being totally hypocritical? Sound off below!
