Kanye West fans just showed their lack of musical knowledge by wondering who the legendary Sir Paul McCartney is. YES. Paul McCartney – world famous Beatle – who is responsible for some of the biggest hits of all time, a cultural phenomenon that shook the world, endless influence and over a billion records sold.
On New Year’s Day, the pair dropped a new song called ‘Only One,’ where Kanye sings to himself and his daughter, Nori, from the perspective of his deceased mother, Donda West.
Kanye’s fans took to twitter asking, “Who is Paul McCartney?” It even trended on twitter, and eventually became a joke, but originally, people sincerely had no idea who the icon was or his impact in music.
See some of the tweets below:
“Who tf is paul mccartney???!??! this is why i love kanye for shining light on unknown artists,” wrote one user. Another commented, “I don’t know who Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career w/ this new song!!” One woman lamented, “I still don’t know who Paul MacArthur is.”
There was this tweet: “Who is Paul McCartney? Why do people love him?” And then this observation: “Kanye has a great ear for talent. This Paul McCartney guy gonna be huge.” Plus this baffled tweet: “Who is this Paul McCartney???? He boutta blow up thanks to Kanye!!!”
Do you know who Paul McCartney is?
