Kanye West Throws a Twitter Tantrum

Kanye West isn't the only person to have a Twitter impostor; it's a nuisance that has been annoying a lot of celebrities lately. Naturally, West would like everybody to know that he doesn't tweet. He does, however, have a Mac with a caps lock, and he has a blog, and he's using both -- again -- to further demonstrate his need for anger management classes. "EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF," he says, or rather, shouts, in his latest entry. "I'M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I'M NOT AND I'M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH." He claims he blogs only about five percent of his activities, so you know this must really get him going.
West goes on to call Twitter "irresponsible," "deceitful" and "a f---ing farce" because they should be paying attention to every high-volume account and hadn't done anything to prevent people from pretending to be him. The full-time blogger/part-time rapper and producer ends the rant with the following threat: "HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO-CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW...WHY?...BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!"
This latest rant, however petulant it may seem, actually accomplished something -- Twitter went ahead and suspended the /KanyeWest account. We won't hold our breath for a "THANK YOU" post from Mr. West.

Just state the facts and stop hatin' on Kanye. I bet if it were someone else, this article wouldn't be so scathing. He accomplished his mission.

Whether he can sing, play an instrument or do anything else musically is a mute point. He is a music mogul. He has a proven track record and his album sales speak volumes. I would just classify him as a very vocal celebrity. He does not have a problem with telling you when something bothers him. HaHa! People usually listen too! Twitter responded so can we not conclude that it was effective regardless as to how trivial we may feel that it may be?

It must be hard for him. The daily demands of being a gay fish are harsh!

Kanye West. No talent. no music. not creative. I finally saw Kanye West on Sat Night Live; another noisy, unmusical rapper. Why people spend money on this garbage is beyond me.

What a big no talent baby.
Teresaat 5-18-2009
No talent. This man cannot sing. I heard him perform and without the voice synthesizer there would have been nothing. He can't carry a tune cant play and instrument. He has not talent. He is a hot head and a baby on top of that. Why is he famous????

This is happening to a lot of celebrities. There has to be somewhere to draw the line. Clay Aiken blogged about the same thing that is happening to him. He does not like Twitter and I believe it is an invasion of privacy. People sign up for these sites as the celebrity's name just so they can get lots of hits.
