Канье Уэст обнародовал песню "Only One", в записи которой принимал участие Пол Маккартни

McCartney and Kanye West fans go at it on social media with faux identity crisis

The idea than Kanye West fans didn't know who this guy Paul McCartney who contributed to their hero's latest song “Only One” was nothing but a joke, Billboard.com reported Jan. 5. “Calm Down: Kanye Fans Asking 'Who Is Paul McCartney?' Were Joking,” their headline read.

But was it? The idea certainly got reported widely enough and is still going viral on Facebook. And many media outlets, reported it seriously. “Fourteen reasons every teenager should probably know who Paul McCartney is,” Rolling Stone tweeted, leading to an article by the same name. Some, like ABC's “Good Morning America,” left the door open. “Who Is Paul McCartney? Are people serious? Is it satire? Is it trolling?,” the show tweeted.

But Twitter fans definitely played the game on both sides of the question with both not taking the “who is it?” idea very seriously. “Kanye West really knows how to expose great new talent. Bet this Paul McCartney guy is gonna be HUGE after this song,” one said. “I don't know who Paul McCartney is, but Kanye is going to give this man a career w/this new song!!,” another wrote. “Mr. West and Mr. McCarthy,” wrote another. And there was, “I usually don't pay much attention to Kanye West, but it's cool he's launched this 'Paul McCartney' dude's career.”

Othe other side, there were some funny comments. “Who Is Kenny West?” wrote one. “I love Paul McCartney, but who is this Kanye West fella?,” said another. “It doesn't matter if people know who Paul McCartney is because he died in 1967.”

But one Twitter poster put probably the best stamp on it.”If you only know of Paul McCartney because of Kanye west, please unfollow me forever.”

“Only One” is currently the fifth most popular download on iTunes in the U.S. The number one song, incidentally, is “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, who just happened to be one of the producers of Paul McCartney's most recent “NEW” album.
