Kanye West reacts to Today Show interview on Twitter
Kanye West recently went on the Today Show with Matt Lauer to address some things from his past. Specifically, he apologized to George Bush for saying that he “didn’t care about black people” during a national telethon to raise money for Hurricane Katrina victims.
But, they also went on to discuss another embarrassing moment for Kanye. Lauer asked him about him interrupting Taylor Swift during a music awards acceptance speech, when he said that Beyonce should have won.
During West’s answer, the Today Show played B-roll of the incident, and Kanye didn’t like it.
“Yo, how am I supposed to talk if you’re going to run the thing in the middle while I’m talking?,” he said. “Please don’t let that happen again. It’s ridiculous.”
Afterwards, Kanye took to Twitter to express his frustration with Lauer.
“Yo, I really wonder if Matt Lauer thought that shit was cool to play the MTV clip while I was speaking about Bush,” West tweeted.
Here is a copy and paste job of his Twitter account’s recent activity. This is an odd dude.
