Guys, we really tried to make it through an entire day without reporting on another Kanye West rant, but alas, there is another that just couldn’t be ignored.
This time, it’s in audio form, and you can listen to it below.
In a clip obtained by Page Six, you can hear Kanye call Taylor Swift a “fake ass” and go off on an expletive-filled tirade backstage before his performance last week on Saturday Night Live.
Kanye has received much backlash over a controversial lyric in his new song “Famous,” in which he says he might have sex with Taylor, since he “made that bitch famous.”
“Don’t f*ck with me! Don’t f*ck with me! Don’t f*ck with me!” he screams in the clip, after going on about how he’s 50 percent more influential than notable figures in history including Pablo Picasso, Stanley Kubrick, Pablo Escobar and Paul the Apostle.
We don’t know who did his calculations, but we’ve a feeling they’re a hair off.
But the one who’s truly off – his rocker – is Kanye. Yeezy was so worked up over a problem with the set that he nearly walked out and left the show high and dry with no musical guest.
“Just moments leading into the live show, and during the live show, Kanye had a meltdown and threatened to walk off,” said one production insider. “He freaked out about how the set was arranged.”
Another source told Page Six that Kanye was heard calling the SNL crew “white motherf**kers.”
Kanye has arguably made himself famous (nevermind Taylor) by acting like a bona fide, screamy nut job, but his latest antics are stirring up even more controversy than usual.
His former co-writer and close friend Rhymefest recently tweeted that ‘Ye was in need of “spiritual and mental” counseling, and that he should “step away from the public & yesmen & heal.”
Someone close to him, if not a mental health professional, definitely needs to get into this man’s head and tell him to GET A MOTHERLOVING GRIP.
And if you don’t believe us, hear it for yourself:
