Kanye West's feud with Jimmy Kimmel can go on the backburner since he has bigger issues. The rapper went nuclear –again!- when the paparazzi showed up at his house at 4M on Friday (Sept. 27) and goaded him into a confrontation. This comes as the prosecution for a previous case, where 'Ye got physical with a pap that confronted him at LAX earlier this summer, builds its argument against him.
In a rap battle that is sure to be told throughout the ages, late night host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel had a sketch on his show that featured a child re-creating Kanye West's recent interview with BBC Radio -- and then all hell broke loose.
Instead of not getting offended by a child repeating everything West said in the interview verbatim, Yeezus went on an all caps lock Twitter rant last night (Sept. 26), and we honestly don't know if he's being serious or not.
It's a rap feud at DefKanye 5 levels!
Kanye West and late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel engaged in an epic battle that started on Kimmel's show when he innocently spoofed West's hour-long, ultra-serious BBC chat, re-enacting it with kids.
Give professional epic ranter Kanye West an hour on the airwaves to talk about himself and he will pay you back in pure gold.
"Rap is the new rock n' roll," Kanye West said in a new, typically cocky interview. "We the new rock stars, and I'm the biggest of all of them. I'm the No. 1 rockstar on the planet."
Well, sort of.
Kanye West does not want to go to jail for his alleged battery on a paparazzo, and he also doesn't want the paparazzo profiting from the incident. To prevent the latter, he's enlisted some big guns. Who? Shawn Holley.
If her name sounds familiar, it should: she's repped Lindsay Lohan and did quite the job of keeping the oft-troubled starlet out of the slammer.
Kanye West doesn't need Yeezus. He needs a good lawyer.
The oft-embattled MC is facing criminal charges stemming from his lash out at a paparazzo, including criminal battery and attempted theft.
Criminal battery. That's the charge that has landed on Kanye West's doorstep stemming from his July skirmish with a paparazzo at LAX. 'Ye and the snapper tussled at the airport and now it's a big legal mess for Yeezus Christ. Every day he's tusslin'.
After a five-year absence from active solo touring that saw him launch an eponymous fashion line, release a few albums ('My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy' and 'Yeezus' on his own as well as his Watch the Throne project with Jay Z) and impregnate a Kardashian, Kanye West is returning to the road.
