00:00Jimmy Kimmel's Kanye West spoof turns into a Twitter war.
00:06Hey guys, I'm Elena Scantlin for ENTV. Variety.com has all the details.
00:11Kanye West has no love for Jimmy Kimmel.
00:14The rapper made that very clear when he took to Twitter to slam the late-night talk show host last week.
00:19The source of his anger? A spoof Kimmel did of a much-talked-about BBC interview with Kanye West.
00:25Brought the leather jogging pants six years ago to Fendi, and they said no.
00:32How many f***s you done seen with a leather jogging pant?
00:38I don't know. None?
00:40And here's Kimmel's version.
00:42We culture! Rap is new rock and roll! We the rock stars, and I'm the biggest of all of them!
00:49Apparently, Kanye was not amused.
00:51He launched into a Twitter rant against the host soon after, writing,
00:55Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years.
01:01He went on to say,
01:02Jimmy Kimmel, I don't take it as a joke.
01:05You don't have scumbags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter.
01:09He also compared Kimmel to his comedian ex-girlfriend, writing,
01:13Sarah Silverman is a thousand times funnier than you, and the whole world knows it.
01:18He told me I had two choices. Number one, apologize publicly.
01:23And that was really the only choice.
01:26The other choice he gave was that my life, your life, he said, is going to be much better if you apologize.
01:33Of course, Kimmel being Kimmel did not apologize,
01:35but instead went on to laugh off Kanye's Twitter slams against him during Thursday night's show,
01:40which apparently included this unflattering photo of Kimmel with the words,
01:44No good bleep.
01:45Finally, I'm in a rap feud.
01:47I am in a rap feud.
01:53Are you on my back?
01:54Yeah, I'll watch your back.
01:56Yeah, I'm sure you do.
01:58But by the end of the weekend, it was business as usual for the rapper,
02:02who hit up a fashion show in Paris with his girlfriend Kim.
02:05His tweets about Kimmel have since been deleted.
