This is what Kanye West had to say (caps are author's own...) of his portrayal in South Park (Matt Stone and Trey Parker inferred the rapper had no sense of humour... "The plot of the episode revolved around chubby character Cartman starting a joke that everyone deemed the funniest joke in the world, except an animated West, who didn't 'get' it." This results in him beating up someone called Carlos Mencia with a baseball bat, howling "I am not gay! And I'm not a fish!", before skirting along the sea bed in search of a large green specimen to receive hislove).
"SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" ... I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A B*TCH THIS TYPE OF SH*T WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!"
It's hard to get over yourself when legions of fans are willing to spend over a grand on a pair of runners you lent your name to. His "highly-anticipated" runners, Air Yeezys, have sold out. He said: "If Nike gave me the opportunity to be in there creating... I'm not saying that I think I'm the best designer in the world, but what I'm saying is that I think I can become that... I want to thank everyone that went out and supported and cop the Yeezys. A lot of people had to pay overprice. Next time, I'm going to do the Yeezy II's!"
People were reportedly forking over between $98.99 and $1,650.00 on eBay. Muppets.
