Kanye is not the King of Pop...And HE KNOWS THAT!!

Sooo...Everyone is going hard saying that Kanye said that he is the new "King of Pop"...I guess now that Michael Jackson has passed. People are having debates about it...ninjas announcing it on the radio telling people to call in...and through ALL of this, no one has ever heard Kanye say this directly. Wow...people. So not too long ago on his blog, Kanye made a direct address about this rumor. Check it out here:

I WAS JUST LISTENING TO WENDY WILLIAMS AND HEARD SOME QUOTE ABOUT ME SAYING I'M THE NEW KING OF POP. NOT ONLY DID I NOT SAY THAT, I HAVEN'T SAID ANYTHING. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT OBVIOUSLY I MADE PEOPLE FEEL THAT I WOULD BE CORNY ENOUGH TO SAY SOMETHING SO WHACK AFTER THE PASSING OF AN IDOL, A LEGEND AND MORE THAN THAT A HUMAN BEING WITH FEELINGS AND FAMILY. IT SCARES ME TO THINK WHAT PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE, WITHOUT EVEN A SOURCE. ANY RANDOM PERSON CAN TYPE SOMETHING ON THE INTERNET AND THEN THE WORLD BELIEVES IT. I DON'T TALK TO PRESS OR DO TV OR DO PROMOTIONS OF ANY SORT. I'VE STOPPED CHASING AND BUYING INTO FAME. FAME IS LIKE CIGARETTES WITH NO SURGEON GENERAL WARNING. IT DESTROYS MOST PEOPLE AS IT DID TO THE TRUE AND ONLY KING OF POP. WE EXPLOIT OURSELVES AND EAT OUR OWN EGOS 'TILL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. I HAVE A FEELING THAT THIS WON'T BE THE LAST FALSE STATEMENT WITH MY NAME ON IT, BUT THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I DEFEND MYSELF. I'M DONE.

Clearly. Kanye has been known for his arrogance and blah. So people would automatically think that he would be an a**shole enough to say such a statement. Lately, that ninja has been on his grind and has barely been talking at all except for rippin' sh*t on other people's songs (i.e. "Run This Town"). So please leave this man alone. Thanks.
