Oh, Kanye…
Is he a genius? Is he a ginormous ass? Is he both?
There’s no doubt Kanye West is a lightning rod…and following the rap star’s Twitter-fueled “feud” with Jimmy Kimmel the past several days, Kanye’s scheduled appearance on Kimmel’s show Wednesday night promised to be one hell of a strike.
To review — Kimmel had a little kid play Kanye in a skit re-enacting one of West’s particularly self-aggrandizing interviews. Kanye didn’t like what he saw and fired back in a caps-lock-aided Twitter treatise that mocked Jimmy’s looks and comedic talent.
Oh yeah…it was ON!
But don’t get too excited, people…on “Kimmel” last night, the real-life acquaintances seemed intent on squashing the beef, both apologizing for letting the Twitter back-and-forth go too far.
But West ALWAYS makes for good TV — and, as Kimmel’s show so clearly pointed out, an even better target for comedy.
Never let it be said that Viners don’t know how to take advantage of comedy gold…so it didn’t take long for Vine to starting filling up with videos last night on the titanic face-off.
