As we have been plugging Kanye West’s interview with Matt Lauer on the “Today Show”, who would of thought any problems could happen. While Lauer was asking him questions about what happened at the MTV VMA’s, like usual on the show, they play video of what took place but West was not happy hearing the audio being played during the interview.
West would go on to tweet the following after the interview:
I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled as a racist. While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the ‘MTV’ under with me with audio!!!!!!!!
I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show…and that’s a very nice way for me to put it!
HE TRIED TO FORCE MY ANSWERS. IT WAS VERY BRUTAL AND I CAME THERE WITH ONLY POSITIVE INTENT.
I felt very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused. I don’t trust anybody but myself! Everyone has an agenda. I don’t do press anymore. I can’t be everything to everybody anymore. I can’t be everybody’s hero and villain savior and sinner Christian and anti Christ!
Everything sounds like noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE NOISE!!!!!!!! I don’t trust anyone! Very judged very scrutinized very criticized!
Yo I really wonder if Matt Lauer thought that s–t was cool to play the ‘MTV’ clip while I was speaking about Bush? He played clips of Bush and asked met to look at his face while I was trying to talk to him.
I wish Michael Jackson had twitter!!!!!!! Maybe Mike could have explained how the media tried to set him up!!! It’s all a f–king set up!!!
This is rock and roll life my people…you can’t stop the truth you can’t stop the music and I have to be strong or ‘they’ win!!!!
West has since deleted all the earlier posts. Meanwhile, on the Today Show, Al Roker addressed that Today Show puts videos of interviews for everyone, including politicians and they stand by their interview.
