Kanye Bites The Hand That Feeds Him
Kanye West wasn't joking around last week when at a dinner celebrating Hussein Chalayan he said he wasn't doing interviews anymore.
Fed up with the invasive nature of today's media, Kanye went on a free-style tirade against the press during his performance on Wednesday at the Casio G-Shock party, spitting lines like "I'm sorry I broke your arm/I meant to break your camera."
Funny considering Casio marketed the event as a press conference to be accompanied by a concert. Kanye seems to have a lot of pent up anger toward the press!
On the one hand, we kind of get it - we're sure it's frustrating as a major icon to have words put in your mouth and have your fans believe it.
That said, when you pursue a career as a public figure you sort of sign up for this shit. It's the price you pay for the fabu life you live. The press keeps you current.
After the performance, he stayed true to his word. When introduced to a reporter, he evaded all questions and instead drew the attention to his lady, model Amber Rose, telling the journo "she just did her first shoot for Ford."
That's cute. At least he's not being a direct dick!
Still, we wonder, how does he plan to promote his albums? Or his shoes? Or all the other things we're sure he'll put out over the next few years?
He can only hate on the media (to stay in the media) for so long!
