Kanye West goes on Twitter rant following Jimmy Kimmel skit

Jimmy Kimmel is knowing for take pop shots at various celebrities on his U.S talk show. Most take it in their stride, but not Kanye West, who was on the receiving end of Kimmel’s ribbing this week following his now-infamous Radio 1 interview for Zane Lowe.

Kimmel responded to West’s extravagant claims in the interview by getting children to re-enact the whole thing, showing West’s quotes to seem quite ridiculous.

Upon seeing this however, Kanye was not pleased. Taking to Twitter to slate the comedian:

He also posted these memes:

Kimmel, however, tried to take it in good humour, responding:

The entire saga was brought up on Kimmel’s programme late last night, with the host claiming that Kanye phoned him up to complain, telling him “your life is going to be much better if you apologise”. He later said: “I’m the most powerful voice in media… you’ll never be able to show your face at a 14-year-old’s high school football game again”. Kimmel, however, just seemed happy to be in a “rap feud”.

And Kimmel’s on-air reply:

UPDATE: Kanye has now tweeted a link to this SLATE article in praise of him, proceeding to post some choice quotes:

ANOTHER UPDATE: Now Kanye seems to have deleted all his original tweets.
