It’s been a crazy past 48 hours for Kanye West and it’s getting a little more intense.
After getting into it on Twitter with Jimmy Kimmel over his recent skit, just a few hours later the rapper had another bad run-in with the paparazzi and now according to reports that’s just no good for him with his current legal issues.
Prosecutors in Kanye’s battery case want to use the footage of the run-in and all other semi-hostile interactions ‘Ye has had with photogs in the past, in court.
Ugh!
TMZ reports:
Sources connected with the case tell TMZ … the L.A. City Attorney believes Kanye has an M.O. — when confronted by the paparazzi … ATTACK. They believe what Kanye did at LAX on July 19th — allegedly battering a photog and trying to steal his camera — is what he typically does … and they want the jury to see 4 other incidents to prove their point.
Meanwhile in the Kimmel vs. West debacle the G.O.O.D music head honcho went on a tweeting spree again yesterday tweeting quotes from a blog by Jibril Durimel that defended his stance. He posted:
COMMENT FROM JIBRIL DURIMEL: “I’m really Against what Jimmy K. did with that parody.”

“It’s simple, mediocre dreamers think this is humorous but all Kanye is pretty much saying in the interview is to dream to be the best.” — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
“A god”. But then he’s made out to be ridiculous for wanting to be at an even higher level of self confidence.” — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
“Exactly what he meant by “SELF HATE!” I don’t want to dick ride KANYE just saying that if more people actually listened” — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013

“THE NEW ROCKSTARS! 😉 No but really please think about what i’m saying.” — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) September 27, 2013
And what did Kimmel have to say:
I challenge you to a rap battle @kanyewest #Iplaytheclarinet — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) September 27, 2013
LOL Oh mannnn… But this whole ordeal has led to some standing up for Mr.West. Irving Azoff who has managed big names like The Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Journey and Fleetwood Mac, Morrissey took to his twitter to defend the “New Slaves” rapper.
Hey @jimmykimmel @kanyewest kicked your ass. You look like a joke trying to exploit this.
— Irving Azoff (@irvingazoff) September 27, 2013
. @jimmykimmel your low blow comment was uncalled for and shows that you still don’t understand the big time.

Ugh! What are your thoughts? Is Kanye taking himself too seriously? Or was Kimmel way out of line? Sound off in the comment section below.
