After a very big blow-up on Twitter, rap “genius” Kanye West and late night talk show hot Jimmy Kimmel sat down to make amends. Last Wednesday, West stopped by “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” to discuss a plethora of subject matter including his recent feud with Kimmel himself, music, fashion, celebrity culture, and why his girlfriend Kim Kardashian deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In his normal bold banter, West delivered yet another memorable interview leaving many of us scratching our heads in awe and somewhat confusion. Scroll below to see some of the rapper’s most interesting quotes from his interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
On his talent: “For me, I’m a creative genius, and there’s no other way to word it. I know you’re not supposed to say that about yourself, and I say things the wrong way a lot of times. But my intention is always positive.”
Responding to Kimmel’s declaration that it’s “weird” to describe oneself as a genius: “I’m totally weird, and I’m totally honest, and I’m totally inappropriate sometimes. And the thing is, for me to say I wasn’t a genius, I would just be lying to you and to myself.”
On whether his Twitter beef with Kimmel was a publicity stunt: “I’ve never done a publicity stunt in my life. Anytime I went up and spoke my mind … it was always what I thought was the truth. … I don’t do publicity stunts, period.”
On his initial response to Kimmel: “When I saw the skit — which I didn’t even watch all the way through, because I didn’t want to be infuriated — I said … well, this is the one person I know, so I can go and let out everything that I feel about every single bogus weekly cover, every single bogus skit, every single rumor in barbershop, everything that people feel is OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals or act like what they’re saying is not serious or their life is not serious or their dreams are not serious.”
On his controversial stage presence: “I’m not running for office. I’m just here to make good music.”
On why Kim Kardashian should get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: “They said something about they’re not gonna put my girl on the Walk of Fame because she’s a reality star. It’s like, people are so, so dated and not modern. It’s like, there’s no way a Kim Kardashian shouldn’t have a star on the Walk of Fame. It’s ridiculous.”
Responding to Kimmel’s question about whether or not he tweets on the toilet: “That’s when I think of the best sh–.”
