The rampant exhibitionism of rapper Kanye West and his Australian partner is difficult to watch. Bianca Censori puts the suffering into suffragette.
Step aside Sisyphus, Icarus, Narcissus. Move over Oedipus, Nemesis, Spartacus. Gather round, children. I’ll tell you a little-known Greek myth about a beautiful but weirdly silent Australian architect graduate and collagen enthusiast, who angered the gods of excess and Instagram and was sentenced to an underwear-free existence alongside the world’s foremost bin liner-wearing misogynist, a man who routinely put the rap in claptrap.
Meanwhile, Kanye. Like the late singer Prince, he was said to prefer a range of other nicknames, although he did break some new ground in this realm, in that his favourites all sounded like the noise an old man makes when he’s just about to complete a particularly wet sneeze. For all this, though, the gods were surprisingly tolerant of West. Last month he briefly overtook Taylor Swift as the most-streamed artist on Spotify globally, although the sudden surge of interest coincided with the release of his new album and came off the back of the anti-Semitic statements that resulted when someone let him out in public without a muzzle.
