His target this time: Rolling Stone magazine.
Yeezus posted a fake Rolling Stone cover to Twitter on Wednesday, claiming it was shot by his friend, rapper Tyler the Creator.
The cover spread features a photo of a cheeky denim jacket wearing West with the caption "Does he like Mustard?" with a release date of Feb. 25.
Upon seeing the mag spread, Rolling Stone tweeted it wasn't a real cover but did, at least for Kanye's sake, comment that they had "many mustard-related questions for him."
In true fashion, Mr. Kim Kardashian's trolling didn't end there.
He predicted the photo would become a Rolling Stone cover and created a poll over on whether the public agreed.
Less than two hours later, it had close to 20,000 votes on Twitter. Yeezy also called out Billboard.com for dubbing his faux spread "unauthorized." Adding: "Never refer to anything that me and Tyler do as fake out of respect to musicians."
Long before he declared his love of condiments, married Kim Kardashian in 2014 and announced he was running for President at September's MTV Awards, the 38-year-old appeared on the 2006 Rolling Stone cover wearing a crown of thorns, likening himself to Jesus Christ, causing an uproar in the Christian community.
In 2006, West appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine likening himself to Jesus Christ. |
At the time, it seemed his ego was just getting started.
“In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts,” he told the magazine. “You want me to be great, but you don’t ever want me to say I’m great?”
Yeezus has been a busy bee on social media promoting his new album "Waves" and starting beef with his fellow rappers and ex-girlfriends.
After Wiz Khalifa criticized the title of West's new album, he went on a Twitter tirade with a series of mean tweets claiming that he "owned" Khalifa's son, Sebastian, with stripper-turned-model, Amber Rose, who Kanye dated from 2008 — 2010.
They have since made up, thanks to Kardashian, who proved she and Rose were friends by sharing a selfie together on social media.
On Wednesday, Khalifa confirmed that Kanye personally apologized during an appearance on Power 105.1 radio.
