Kanye West tries to crack a joke & the net goes mad

You’ve got to feel sorry for Kanye West. He manages to poke fun at himself, and everyone goes crazy.

“I’mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL” Kanye tweeted on Friday.

Sadly, not everyone got the joke, causing Kanye to launch into a Twitter rant.

“Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany.” Kanye tweeted, in response to MSNBC‘s salacious headline: ‘Kanye Tries to Start a Twitter War With Britney.’

“This shit takes the air out my lungs sometimes from blogs to news reports… enough already!!! All I do is focus on my work.”

“There’s a new lie everyday… a new media spin… I never got a watch with my face on it!!! A company tried to give that to me 9 yrs ago!”

“I’m one of the most considerate people in real life. Maybe over considerate. Over caring. Overly real.”

“There is no astronaut training for celebrity… even though this whole life is so outer space!”

“I was actually surprised that a record as raw as H*A*M could make it to #2 on Itunes.”

“How can u “let” someone be number one??!! That was the whole joke!!! I know intelligent people know this so bear with me.”
