Kanye West loses his cool in Twitter rant
Kanye West has unleashed one of the world’s stranger Twitter rants after a misunderstanding with fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa.
Khalifa, a notorious marijuana smoker, posted the Tweet: “Hit this kk and become yourself”, referring to his personal brand of the drug: Khalifa Kush.
Unfortunately, Kanye took the Tweet as a dig at his wife Kim Kardashian, and dropped a slew of progressively stranger and more offensive Tweets on Khalifa.

• Kim and Kanye go for another crazy baby name
West began by calling Khalifa’s latest single “corny” and suggesting no one had ever listened to his album “the whole way through”, before absurdly bringing Khalifa’s pants into the conversation.

“I went to look at your twitter and you were wearing cool pants”, he Tweeted.
“I screen grabbed those pants and sent it to my style team #Wizwearscoolpants.”
West then made an offensive slur towards Khalifa’s wife, Amber Rose, who West dated previously for two years, before moving back to his rant about pants.
“I made it so we could wear tight jeans,” he wrote.
West wrapped up the rant by claiming he “owns” Khalifa and Rose’s child, and suggesting the child wouldn’t exist without him.
But finally, he laid down more comment on Khalifa’s sartorial style.
“I think you dress cool I wish I was skinny and tall.”
And in typical Kanye style, a last expression of his own talent: “Maybe I couldn’t be skinny and tall but I’ll settle for being the greatest artist of all time as a consolation.”
Since the rant, Khalifa has pointed out that he wasn’t referring to Kardashian in his original Tweet, and Kanye has his negative Tweets with “I’ma take these down ’cause it’s all about positive energy. Blessings, blessings, positive energy, blessings.”
