New Delhi [India], May 22 (ANI): Thanks to Twitter, American rapper Kanye West refuses to stay out of the limelight.

The 40-year-old, who re-activated his account last month after a hiatus of one year, has had a spate of Twitter posts on wide-ranging themes.

West, on Monday, tweeted about how everyone needs hugs sometimes.

He then went on to share a picture of spiritual guru Mata Amritanandamayi, writing, "Amma Mata had given over 32 million hugs."

Earlier this month, West sparked outrage over social media after he said that the enslavement of African Americans over centuries may have been "a choice". (ANI)
