Sigh.  After all the drama and rants from Kanye about his interview on “The Today Show” this week with Matt Lauer, ‘Ye made it known he won’t be upholding his performance commitment on the show.

 

He also had a few more rants about the “set up” and said he’s currently in Abu Dhabi readying a performance.  But he aint mad at Mr. Lauer.  Read on for ‘Ye’s newest explanations….

Kanye Tweeted:

I’m not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I’m so happy the world got to see just a small piece of “the set up”. I blatantly said I’m not performing on a tweet and to everyone around me and the next day they still announced a performance. Do you guys see what I’m saying now… this is just a small slice of the day to day bullshit that goes on that helps to precipitate…… the idea that I such an asshole…. cause when I don’t perform oh noooow I’m the one that’s crazy or a jerk! If I hadn’t tweeted about how they set me up at the show they would have never played the extra footage that displayed how disrespectful…

I want you guys to look at that footage and start to put everything together now. It’s very simple to call someone angry or spoiled or…the one thousand names I’ve been called but it’s harder to try to take a look at what’s really behind the curtain. I’m so happy that my real fans are not as “basic” as the media makes them out to be… Did you see them try to justify playing the audio…under my interview. Yo sometimes you’re just wrong and it ain’t nothing you can say to justify it believe me I know!

Right now I’m not complaining. I’m tweeting because I’m so happy you guys got to see this shit really go down!!!!! : ))))))!!!! FINALLY!!! …And I don’t hate Matt Lauer… We don’t promote hate. That’s the whole point!!! I promote love and truth. We’re all products or our environments … reflections of our surroundings..You know what ….WE OFF THAT!!!… They made a mistake… they thought they could pull it but they couldn’t! That was just a small……representation of a bigger media play that’s been going on since the beginning of time. All positive energy … all smiles. Much love to Matt and the whole Today Show. I accept ya’ll future apology in advance LOL! I’m in Dubai BTW… Bout to rip down this Abu Dhabi stage later tonight!!!

So he’s not pissy at Matt and the “Today Show”.  But apparently he’s taking a stance against the media set-ups as a whole.  I honestly still don’t understand what the issue is-since it’s a standard in the tv industry on any and all channels for the station to reference (via video or audio) what is being talked about.  But if Kanye feels there’s a bigger conspiracy theory at hand…so be it.
