Right now we’re at a DefKanye Five: Jimmy Kimmel vs Kanye West

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Stonehill chapter.

 

This past week the newest hip-hop feud erupted between two unlikely candidates. In case you’ve been living under a rock, I am talking about Jimmy Kimmel and Kanye West, in what is turning into the biggest hip-hop scandal of the new millennium.  Lets go over what happened:

First Kanye did a super long interview with Zane Lowe, where he acted very Kanye-like. He said things like: “Do you know how many times I sat with people and said I want to make a store. And they said, ‘How could you make a store? blah blah blah.’ It’s in my code. It’s in my code. Have y’all ever seen Wreck-It Ralph? You remember how that girl in there … she was the glitch? You tellin’ me they don’t look at me like I’m the motherf**ing glitch? You tellin’ me people don’t look at Kanye West like the glitch? Right now. And she was on the side of the video game, the whole time! It’s in my code. It’s in my code. [Zane Lowe: “I see what some people say in comments and whatever after these things get posted, and I go, all right, those are the people that think you’re the glitch.”] Yeah, they broke Vanellope’s car! Vanellope Von Schweetz, they broke her car!” 

 

Second Jimmy Kimmel saw the interview and made a spoof of it using children acting as Kanye and Zane Lowe.  And it was hysterical. 

Third, this is where the drama happens, Kanye freaks out on Twitter at Jimmy.  Below are two of the examples:

 

Then Jimmy responds to him via twitter with some of the following tweets:

 

 

And discussed it on his show, watch it here:

Since then Kanye has since deleted all of the tweets about Jimmy, and Jimmy has challenged him to a rap battle.  Stay tuned for updates.
