Even though Dewey Beach was swamped by thousands over the holiday weekend, the tiny party town was outgunned by Newark for having hosted the biggest celebrity in Delaware over the weekend. Sure, Dewey has had visitors like Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes and Dave Grohl in recent years. But on Saturday, Newark had Kanye.
A dapper Kanye West dressed in all white stopped by University of Delaware’s graduation ceremony over the weekend, causing a firestorm on Twitter and Facebook.
As @eherbsty tweeted: Kanye West sitting 10 rows away at Delaware graduation #crazy
Our friends at the Delaware-spawned gerald mbagoblogspot.com reported what most on Twitter were saying: West has a cousin or other relative that graduated from UD.
A UD official confirmed West’s visit and said the university did not know in advance about the visit from the rapper behind albums like “Graduation” and “College Dropout.”
Luckily for UD’s graduating class of 2011, West did not perform or speak. He left the razzle dazzle up to the scheduled commencement speaker, the dynamic Mike Castle.
One of the best and most popular recording artists in the world — (Note: Kanye is forcing me to say that, heh) — here’s a photo of West with his cousin Andre, the graduate:
