Jimmy Kimmel spoofed Kanye West the other night, using a kid actor to deliver lines verbatim that were previously uttered by the rapper.
It didn’t sit well with the ‘Yeezus’ entertainer, who promptly picked up the phone to give the talk show host a piece of his mind.
Kimmel explained, “Kanye recently did an interview with the BBC and we had a kid actor take the words and reenact them this week. We just had the kid say the stuff Kanye said and apparently it has upset him. He called me and told me I had to apologize publicly and that was really the only choice.”
Then West hit twitter for a series of decidedly pointed messages that were laced with expletives and included sexual innuendos involving Jimmy and Ben Affleck.
He stated his case with the first of many tweets, “JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS.”
His cap lock button must have been stuck because he blasted seven more tweets in full SHOUT mode before posting a couple of mocking photos for good measure.
Kimmel summed it all up by declaring, “Finally I am in a rap feud.” Check out Jimmy’s entertaining discussion of the subject below:
