Kanye West’s Fans Ridiculed For Asking: ‘Who’s Paul McCartney?’

Kanye West probably couldn’t believe his luck when he was able to collaborate with Paul McCartney on his new single Only One, but it was completely lost on the rapper’s fans who have become a laughing stock on Twitter for not knowing who the Beatles legend is.
