This has to be the week for celebrity Twitter beefs, considering some of the most epic Twitter showdowns seem to be popping off this week for some unknown reason. As we recently reported, Rihanna and Teyana Taylor’s Twitter beef got so nasty it resulted in two petitions against both artists, but it’s clear Twitter will continue to be the platform celebrities use at their own risks despite the fallout that could come from just a couple of tweets. Kanye West has always been a pretty vocal celeb, but he doesn’t tweet much. So when he does, it always makes headline news. Kanye recently wrapped up a pretty extensive interview with BBC Radio 1 and Zane Lowe, and he got very candid about his career, personal life, as well as his frustrations with being famous.
It’s no secret Kanye takes everything he does seriously, but comedian Jimmy Kimmel decided to poke fun at the rapper’s latest interview. The other night he had a segment on his show in which he actually had a young child actor portray Kanye in a parody of the interview, and when Kanye got wind of the hilarious reenactment, he came right for Kimmel on Twitter.
In a series of bizarre tweets, Kanye insulted the comedian for making a joke out of an interview he feels was one of the most honest the media has ever seen in years (read tweets from the bottom up):
Jimmy Kimmel clapped back and asked Kanye to actually mention him in his tweets next time:
Here’s the spoof that caused Kanye’s latest Twitter rant:
He owned Kanye in that one tweet. All caps and no mention? Be quiet Kanye.
Oh Lawd…I swear Kanye has really become the typical attention seeking KARDASHIAN. The spoof was not disrespectful.
So was Kanye too stupid to see the whole point of the spoof is that he acted childish? Because he sure enough jumped on Twitter after the fact and acted childish. Smh.
LOL! Girl I was thinking the same thing! He just verified what Kimmel was hinting at!
So true.
My thoughts exactly.Kim has two babies to take care, ahahahahah,serves her right.He’ll never be more sucessful and respect like Jay z and Beyonce, even the Presedent called him jacka-s.
Exactly.
Kanye….girl…
What is Kanye even talking about? It was just a spoof. And it was funny! He has no idea how childish and ridiculous he comes off to most people.
I’ve always thought people who type in all caps have mental issues….
LMAO me too. It reminds me of Meek Mill, not in a good way…
LOL.
Ha me too.
He’s had too much good p-ssy? How is Kim’s ran through vag good p_ssy? Does she even still have any walls left?
OMG Kanye shut up!!!!! Why don’t you grow a pair and stop whining every time someone says something you don’t like? He acts like Jimmy Kimmel did something super disrespectful with that spoof. Grow up Kanye…but lol at Jimmy’s response to him. I’m sure that pissed Kanye off even more lol
Kanye sounds mentally disturbed in that interview and in these tweets. He needs therapy.
Agreed.
Kanye went off for nothing. Kimmel didn’t even do the part where he was talking about North. Kanye gets mad over the dumbest things.
LOL at Kanye trying to sound like a heterosexual man in those tweets.
#DEAD
LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Kanye is a very talented person. I do. But he turns people off with these tantrums and his arrogance. If he keeps this up, he will not end up like Jay Z, his idol. His last album didn’t even do well. Time to bring it down a notch Kanye.
It wasn’t that serious. Kanye is such a queen.
Kimmel is my hero for shutting it down with that one tweet. LOL!
I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night, and he was reading Kanye’ s tweets out loud to the audience and it was funny. Kanye is so full of himself, he needs to be humbled dearly. He is definitely living in his own made up backyardigan world.
Kimmie, go get ya man ‘Ye please. Thank you!
