Whether it was his fiery performance at The BRIT Awards, his emotional interview with Zane Lowe or perhaps last week’s most talked about tattoo session, Kanye West’s pit stop in the U.K. has definitely filled the headlines as of late.
Today, Mr. West continued his tour by stopping off at Oxford University — one of the most prestigious educational establishments in the world — for a speech on… well, everything. Complex cited the Chairman of the Oxford Guild Abbas Kazmi, who says that a full video of Kanye’s speech will be readily available shortly.
In order to know exactly what went down earlier today, we’ve compiled all of the tweets from The Tab Oxford, who were live in the 300-seater auditorium where Kanye’s talk took place. Check them all out below:
