Kanye West has launched a stinging attack on Jimmy Kimmel after the late night star spoofed his bizarre Radio 1 interview.
Mr. West took to his Twitter account to voice his discontent with the comedian after Kimmel produced a clip mocking the rappers interview with Zane Lowe on the British radio station earlier this week.
West started by writing, “JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS.”
He then followed this with, ” 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.”
West continued, “JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES… OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD S*** IN YOUR LIFE…”
And then, “YOU CANT PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES. YOUR FACE LOOKS CRAZY… IS THAT FUNNY?… OR IF I HAD A KID SAY IT WOULD IT BE FUNNY???”
West then finished by referencing Kimmel’s infamous video alongside Ben Affleck by noting, “SHOULD I DO A SPOOF ABOUT YOUR FACE OR YOU F****** BEN AFFLECK… #NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK #ALLDISRESPECTTOJIMMYKIMMEL!!!!”
Kimmel remained calm after West’s comments, even taking to Twitter to respond with numerous remarks:
apparently @KanyeWest is VERY VERY ANGRY with me….

Kimmel sparked West’s ire after he created a spoof video of his interview entitled, “Kanye Kid (Re)Kreation,” which saw two children reenact the transcript of West’s words.
