Kanye West Takes Twitter To Task For Fake Celeb Accounts
Friday, August 21, 2009
For them to allow someone to pose as me ... is deceitful to their faithful users,' West wrote in a blog post.
Given his penchant for blogging, it's surprising to find out that Kanye West thinks Twitter is a waste of time. He even sounded off Tuesday (on his blog, of course), saying the company should put the kibosh on those impersonating the rapper."This spaz comes courtesy of losers making fake Kanye West Twitter accounts," he wrote before launching into an all-caps, stream-of-consciousness tantrum.
"I don't have a f---ing Twitter," he continued. "Why would I use Twitter??? I only blog 5 percent of what I'm up to in the first place. I'm actually slow delivering content because I'm too busy being creative most of the time and if I'm not and I'm just laying on a beach I wouldn't tell the world. Everything that Twitter offers I need less of."
The rant keeps going: "The people at Twitter know I don't have a f---ing Twitter so for them to allow someone to pose as me and accumulate over a million names is irresponsible and deceitful to their faithful users."
In case we didn't understand the first time, West goes on: "Repeat. The heads of Twitter knew I didn't have a Twitter and they have to know which accounts have high activity on them. It's a f---ing farce and it makes me question [if] other so-called celebrity Twitters are actually real or fake."
Kanye then demands that the company remove the Kanye imposters. Why? "Because my caps lock key is loud!!!!!!!!!" he wrote.
As of press time, Twitter seems to have gotten the message, because accounts like "kanyewest" have been suspended. However, users such as "WestKanye" and "MrKanyeWest" continue to operate.
