Kanye West has pulled out of a scheduled appearance on the Today show in an epic Twitter rant.
Kanye West has a love / hate relationship with the media. The rapper is one of the most popular entertainers on the planet, yet has an unpredictable streak which often brings controversy.
Interviewed by the Today Show’s Matt Lauer recently, Kanye West seemed to apologise to former President George W Bush. In a subsequent Tweet, though, the rapper insisted that the answer had been forced on him.
The issue has rumbled on for a few days, with Kanye West pulling out of a scheduled appearance on The Today Show. Programmers advertised him as appearing anyway, which has infuriated the rapper.
“I’m not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I’m so happy the world got to see just a small piece of “the set up”. I blatantly said I’m not performing on a tweet and to everyone around me and the next day they still announced a performance.”
Continuing, Kanye West said: “Do you guys see what I’m saying now… this is just a small slice of the day to day bullshit that goes on that helps to precipitate the idea that I such an asshole…. cause when I don’t perform oh noooow I’m the one that’s crazy or a jerk!”
Later, Kanye West praised his fans and described his shock at watching the finished Today Show interview. “I’m so happy that my real fans are not as “basic” as the media makes them out to be… Did you see them try to justify playing the audio under my interview. Yo sometimes you’re just wrong and it ain’t nothing you can say to justify it believe me I know!”
Finishing, the rapper explained: “And I don’t hate Matt Lauer… We don’t promote hate. That’s the whole point!!! I promote love and truth!”
However Kanye West is now all happiness and smiles. “All positive energy … all smiles. Much love to Matt and the whole Today Show. I accept ya’ll future apology in advance LOL!”
