Kanye West In New Twitter Feud With ‘Rolling Stone’ After Posting Fake Cover
Twitter feud alert! Kanye West, 38, seems to be amping up his Twitter rants as the release of his new album Waves gets closer, and his Feb. 3 go-hard on Rolling Stone magazine was yet another hilarious instance of random Yeezy weirdness. We thought he might have calmed down following his epic Twitter feud with Wiz Khalifa, 28, but nope — Kanye’s still got plenty of fire in his belly and he’s unleashing it at the legendary music mag! Read on for what he had to say.
After posting a clearly Photoshopped picture of him grinning ear to ear with the word “KANYE” in bold pink print, it then begged the question, “Does he like mustard?” dropped in below the magazine’s famous masthead. His only caption was “ROLLING STONE SHOT BY TYLER THE CREATOR” – and yes, he did it in all caps and we’re kinda loving that he’s going back to the days of doing that cause it makes him seem like he’s yelling at us. But the publication took note of it and posted on their own Twitter page, “While we love Kanye, and have many mustard-related questions for him, this is not an actual cover of Rolling Stone.” Do a throwback to classic Kanye and pick up College Dropout here.
But this is Kanye we’re dealing with so Rolling Stone‘s comment hardly put an end to the issue, and it just made him go at it harder. He then posted “I bet you this still becomes the cover though…Let’s do another poll…..#trollingstone” and he did exactly that. In the three hours that it’s been up, nearly 24,000 people have voted on it and so far 52 percent of his fans are all for Rolling Stone using it as a cover, while 48 percent think it’s a terrible idea.
Even with the poll results he was still being cranky, and this time he directed his ire at Billboard magazine by firing off, “Aye Billboard you could use the term “unauthorized” but never refer to anything that me and Tyler do as fake out of respect to musicians…” following a story they did about Kanye’s tiff with Rolling Stone. We’re not sure if Yeezy is really in a bad mood or just trolling, but either way, it’s always must follow reading whenever he goes on a rant.
