He’s no stranger to profanity-laced rants, and it sounds like Kanye West had a fully-fledged toddler-style temper tantrum at “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend.
The “Love Lockdown” rapper is heard in an audio clip calling SNL staffers “white motherf*ckers” while also saying Taylor Swift is a “fake a**,” and repeatedly shouting “Don’t f*ck with me!” and threatening to pull out of his performance.
West continued, “Let's get to it, bro. Let's get to it, bro! Are they f*cking crazy? Bro! By 50 per cent [I am more influential]. Stanley Kubrick, Apostle Paul, Picasso... f*cking Picasso and Escobar. By 50 per cent more influential than any other human being. Don't f*** with me. Don't f*** with me. Don't f*** with me. By 50 per cent, dead or alive, by 50 per cent for the next thousand years. Stanley Kubrick. Ye.”
An insider told press, “It had something to do with the set. Kim, who was in the audience with Kylie Jenner, had to come down. Lorne had to personally talk to Kanye. There were a few really tense minutes when it looked like West was walking, leaving the live NBC show in the lurch.”
