Anonymous hackers deny threatening Kanye West

Representatives for notorious hacking group Anonymous have denied responsibility for a chilling video targeting rapper Kanye West.

The Stronger hitmaker is the focus of scary footage which was released this week (beg09Mar15) by a group claiming to be associated with Anonymous, a network of 'hacktivists' who promote causes through Internet stunts.

In the video message, a masked man blasts West for allowing his wife Kim Kardashian to strip naked for magazine covers, and brands him a "spoiled child in a grown man's body".

However, representatives for Anonymous have now denied they are behind the nasty video, writing in a post on Twitter.com, "There seems to be some news coverage regarding '#Anonymous threatening Kanye West'. Please keep us out of this bulls**t. Thx (thanks)."
