Kanye West is to give a speech at Oxford University today
Kanye West will be giving a talk today at Oxford University, hosted by the Oxford Guild.
The Chicago rapper will be speaking from 3pm, and by all accounts, there's no definite end time.
It's set to take place at the University Museum of Natural History. In a statement, the Oxford Guild Business Society said: “We are very excited to be hosting such an inspiring and high profile a speaker as the legendary Kanye West and expect it to be a fascinating and memorable event. It is great to see the hard work pay off after having spent many hours negotiating against the odds and keeping things under wraps to secure this event which is a real coup for the Guild which I am proud to see continuing to grow from strength to strength, reaching even higher heights and winning ever more national awards and accolades. Special thanks must to go the committee for their efforts, enthusiasm and commitment. The Guild is very keen to ensure that all Oxford students are given a chance to hear from Kanye West and will be uploading a full video of the talk after the event."
Tickets for the event were open to students on three different occasions during the past day. There will be no tickets on the door.
