“Never fail because you didn’t try”.
These are the words of wisdom offered to us today by our new national hero Youssef Sarhan, who shared the INCREDIBLE tale of how he snuck into Kanye West’s bedroom on Twitter.
Youssef is currently at the helm of the Twitter account @Ireland, which sees a new curator take over each week.
We’d imagine there’s bit of pressure to impress when you’ve been handed control of an account with over 33K followers, but Youssef did not disappoint.
This story is unbelievable, and shows the true power of the gift of the gab.
Okay, here’s the story of how I snuck into Kanye West’s Bedroom. ??

One day, a friend calls me last minute, asking if I want to see @kanyewest, he was playing at @flowfestival. She got free tickets.

So, we go to the gig, it was awesome. The man knows how to put on a show. Great buzz. pic.twitter.com/ZwYFBP1zym

But Alex and I, my Russian friend, can’t get a taxi, way too many people, it’s a day-festival. We’re running late. ?

They exchange some words, nods, looks, and next thing I’m sitting on cream leather, in the back of an s-class, speeding to the hotel. ?

Alex and I are having doubts. We hear tunes from one of the Windows, figured that was it. But it’s looking bad, security at the door. eek!

So we put on our of-course-we-are-staying-at-this-hotel swagger, and march right up to the door. Give security a nod, we’re in. It worked.

This is when Alex has a genius idea. She pretends she needs to get sick, and makes a b-line for the restroom.

As she slinks off, she gives me the name of her friend staying there, the one Kanye is in love with. ?
— Ireland / Youssef (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Me: “so, my friend, Olesya, she’s not feeling so well, and she lost her room key, could you issue a new one?”
— Ireland / Youssef (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Reception: “oh okay sir, no problem, let me get you that right away.” *obtains room-key* *achievement unlocked* ?
— Ireland / Youssef (@ireland) January 2, 2016
Once again, we put on our of-course-we-are-supposed-to-be-in-kanyes-bedroom swagger, and march in.

Everything sounds like we’re underwater, everyone is looking at us, we are naked. NOOO!!!! ???

Of course, I needed to document it without looking like a fan. So, no better way than with a bathroom mirror selfie? pic.twitter.com/RqxBXXkH7R

And the funniest bit? Like, the really fun part? They were playing ALL Kanye’s music, but I’m not complaining, his stuff bangs.☺️
