It is no secret Kanye West thinks extremely highly of himself, but Jimmy Kimmel recently learned the hard way to not speak out against West. West bashed and bantered Kimmel on Twitter this past Thursday from some playful jokes and fun that Kimmel had poked against West with in an interview with BBC. In West’s interview with BBC, Kanye West stated that rap was the new version of a rockstar, and West referred to himself as the No. 1 leading rockstar in the music industry today.
West took stabs at Kimmel’s looks as well as comparing him to an ex-girlfriend as seen on NY Daily News, Sarah Silverman. Kimmel seemed to take an underwhelming response by threatening to unfollow West on Twitter if he continued on his rant. West’s initial eight tweet rant also included self-praise (which no one is unfamiliar with from West) and sarcasm that referenced Kimmel’s terrible life, at least according to West. Kimmel has mostly reframed from engaging in any bantering of West via social media.
However-Kimmel, not surprisingly, took the comedic approach to reference West to his audience and the ridiculousness of some of West’s tweets and actions. These comedic jabs at West from Kimmel will likely ignite the fire in the Yeezus rapper and maybe even cause more cyber drama between the unlikely feuding duo. MTV does a great job at summarizing the feud between the pair. Part I of the Kanye West interview on Jimmy Kimmel show is shown below.
