Kanye West is the subject of another controversy after some comments he made about Britney Spears’ new single coming in ahead of he and Jay-Z’s at number one on iTunes.
Stories were running wild claiming Kanye said they “let” Britney have the number one spot, which while it sounds like something you might hear come out of Kanye’s mouth, he points out is not something you can “let” someone do.
Kanye took to his twitter (where else) to say:
Just saw that MSNBC said I tried to start a twitter war with Brittany.
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.
When I said the comment about Brittney I was giving her props for being #1 not dissing her at all!
But stop making it seem that my aim is to hurt or down people! That’s just not my style!
As pop stars we’re all in this shit together! We on the inside of the TV!If the media wants to make a story … just say I have atrocious spelling and terrible grammar…
If you don’t give em a story they just make one up. I’m just trying to focus & stay creative! Keep bringing dope shit to the world!
Once again thank you to all my fans who made MBDTF certified platinum!
You all give me the power and I never take it for granted. I am an extension of my listeners.
I won’t always say the right thing but my heart is always in the right place.
He’s right about the spelling and grammar, he spelled “Britney” two different (wrong) ways throughout.
Britney’s new single, ‘Hold it Against Me’ came in at number one last week ahead of Kanye West and Jay-Z’s H*A*M, which debuted at number two.
