Kanye West has launched a Twitter feud with Jimmy Kimmel for a skit the late night television host did to poke fun at the Yeezus rapper’s recent interview, in which he called himself the “No. 1 rock star on the planet.”
Earlier this week, Kimmel did a spoof on the interview, featuring two young kids reenacting it.
This prompted to West to react on Twitter, writing:
JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
JIMMY KIMMEL, I DON'T TAKE IT AS A JOKE…. YOU DON'T HAVE SCUM BAGS HOPPING OVER FENCES TRYING TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR DAUGHTER
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
West didn’t stop there. He continued, “JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES … OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD PU--Y IN YOUR LIFE…” and “YOU CAN'T PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES. YOUR FACE LOOKS CRAZY… IS THAT FUNNY?… OR IF I HAD A KID SAY IT WOULD IT BE FUNNY??? SHOULD I DO A SPOOF ABOUT YOUR FACE OR YOU FUCKING BEN AFFLECK…#NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK #ALLDISRESPECTTOJIMMYKIMMEL!!!!”
According to Daily News, West didn’t just vent his frustrations on Twitter. He actually called Kimmel, which he talked about during his opening monologue on Thursday night.
"He told me I had two choices – #1 Apologize publicly. And that was really the only choice – the other choice he gave was “my life…your life is going to be much better if I apologize,” he explained.
West went as far as to compare Kimmel to his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Silverman. He also posted two memes, making fun of Kimmel.
SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!!

“Finally, I’m in a rap feud. I always wanted to be in a rap feud. Right now we’re at DefKanye Five,” joked Kimmel.
I swear, @kanyewest one more of these I WILL unfollow you #warning #Goshdarnit
