Rapper Kanye West is clearly no stranger to controversy and he’s in the headlines again because he actually went off on comedian Jimmy Kimmel last night. Apparently Kanye was furious to learn the comedian spoofed his most recent interview with BBC Radio 1, and he was insulted the comedian used a child actor to portray him. Interestingly enough, Kanye went after Jimmy via Twitter and he lashed out in a series of tweets in which he made it clear he felt disrespected that the interview was mocked. Although Kanye said plenty in his numerous tweets for Jimmy, the comedian was able to shut him down with just one.
Post the Twitter exchange, Jimmy decided to explain the situation to his audience during the live taping of his show. He also revealed Kanye called him before he posted the infamous tweets and demanded an apology. The rapper told Kimmel that he needed to apologize because he is the “most powerful voice in all media.” He then claimed he is Tupac. Jimmy says:
“And by the way, he told me on the phone — and I swear to God this is true — ‘I am the most powerful voice in media. I am Pac.’ He said ‘Pac’ a few times to me. I guess he means Tupac. He said, ‘You will never be able to show your face at a 14-year-old’s high school football game and be cool again!’ He really is Pac. I mean that’s right out of the Tupac playbook, isn’t it?”
Check out the clip below:
LOL at him thinking he’s anything close to Tupac.
Sigh…didn’t he just compare himself to Michael Jackson the other day? SMH.
And he really shouldn’t have.
Tupac? Not in this lifetime is Kanye anything close to Pac. Pac was way smarter than Kanye. And he damn sure wouldn’t have impregnated no damn Kim Kardashian. He was smarter than that.
Kanye is someone new everyday. One day he thinks he’s MJ, the next Jay Z and now he’s Tupac. He needs therapy.
I mean what does Kanye expect from a late night comedian. He talks about and parodies everybody that’s his job. Kanye is not God and he needs to get that through his head you are not above getting clowned. Kanye takes everything personal get over yourself. Now he big and bad to clap back at a spoof but when he was constantly getting clowned for dating Kim and people were dragging Kim (Ray J) quiet as a mouse. He needs to fallback seriously douchebag!
I’m starting to think Kanye does all this stuff for attention. If so, he fits right in with the Kardashians.
I still don’t understand why Kanye got all mad. I guess he thinks he’s above being made fun of. I question why he even signed up for fame. He seems to hate every part of it (paps, media, comedians, blogs, etc.)
This queen here…
And none of this will help those struggling album sales. Publicity stunt fail.
Come on out the closet Kanye…
PAC was better at dissing folks that Kanye will ever be.
Tupac said F Bad Boy as a staff, a record label and a mf’n crew. Kanye never said such a thing.
LOL he’s Tupac how?????!!!
Y’all know what. Kanye is almost about to make me do the impossible and that is feel sorry for Kim I’m not there but I’m close can you imagine being a woman and being in a relationship with Kanye all he does is b-tch and moan he is like a woman that is always on her period.
Mental illness is real y’all!
His mother was probably the only person in the world that could keep him straight, and now that she’s not here, he can’t function properly. Sad!
