In recent Kanye West news, a media firestorm has ensued due to West’s Twitter rants on the feud between himself and late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. The feud escalated after Kimmel aired a spoof of West’s BBC interview during a Jimmy Kimmel Live episode last week. Read more.
In true Kanye West fashion, a feud has broken out between late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, and the always grandiose West. The catalyst for this highly publicized stand-off was the Jimmy Kimmel Live spoof of Kanye’s BBC interview last week. The video featured two children drinking milkshakes in a recording studio, reenacting verbatim the transcripts of West’s interview with BBC’s Zane Lowe. After this clip aired on national television, Kanye was enraged and took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on Kimmel’s spoof. After a demand for an apology and a series of tweets ‘dissing’ the late night host, Jimmy Kimmel voiced his own feelings on the feud and Ye’s tweets in his opening monologue. Watch the videos of the Jimmy Kimmel spoof and monologue and read Kanye’s Twitter rant below.
