The American presenter spoofed an interview Kanye did with Zane Lowe for BBC Radio 1 on The Jimmy Kimmel Show.

In the interview, Kanye called himself ‘the number-one rock star on the planet’, said he wanted ‘to be the anchor of the first trillion-dollar company’ and asked ‘How many motherf***ers you done seen with a leather jogging pant?’

Jimmy poked fun at the rapper, with questions such as “Does Kanye West know you’re not supposed to be your own hype man?”, before cutting to a video.

The sketch was two children ‘recreating’ Kanye and Zane’s interview and slurping milkshakes.

Never one to hold back, Kanye took to Twitter to express his anger towards Jimmy.

'JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS.'

He wrote, in his usual modesty: “JIMMY KIMMEL IS OUT OF LINE TO TRY AND SPOOF IN ANY WAY THE FIRST PIECE OF HONEST MEDIA IN YEARS.”

He continued: “JIMMY KIMMEL, I DON’T TAKE IT AS A JOKE… YOU DON’T HAVE SCUM HOPPING OVER FENCES TRYING TO TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR DAUGHTER.”

Kanye signed off the Twitter rant by mentioning Jimmy’s ex-girlfriend, writing: “SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!!”

Jimmy tweeted shortly after Kanye’s outburst: “apparently @kaneywest is VERY VERY VERY ANGRY with me….” Before writing: “If it’s not too much trouble @kanyewest would you mind using @jimmykimmel ? Thanks.”
