Kanye West ends Jimmy Kimmel feud

Kanye West ended his feud with Jimmy Kimmel when he appeared on his chat show last night.


The New Slaves rapper was angered when the talk show host parodied an interview he gave to UK station BBC Radio 1, but when he appeared on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ the host apologised and they made up.

Kanye didn’t apologise for his Twitter tirade against the host – during which he claimed Jimmy’s ”face looks crazy” – but he did admit he took all his anger at the media in general out on him, saying ”we kind of took it back to high school”.

Kanye also said Jimmy was one person whom he knew and who had stood up for him in the past, which was what made him so angry.

Kanye also self-aggrandised in his usual manner, saying: ”I’m a creative genius, and there’s no other way to word it. I know you’re not supposed to say that about yourself. I say things the wrong way a lot of times, but the intention is always positive.

”I’m just here to make good music and make people feel good when they hear my music.

”When I did that interview, I was really vocal about a lot of things I had been dealing with over the last 10 years, when I had been put in the classification as just a celebrity.”

At the end of the show Kanye also launched into a huge seven-minute stream of conscious tirade, which encompassed the fashion industry, the civil rights movement, the nature of celebrity and why he believes his girlfriend Kim Kardashian deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
