Kanye West blasts Bruno Mars’ VMA wins & he’s still complaining about Nike

FFN_West_Kanye_AAR_112113_51269005

So much Yeezus, so little time. I was thinking of giving ol’ Kanye West a new name, just to make it fun. Like… Kanyeezy Von Leather-Jeggings. Kanyezington Jeggingbottom. I think that’s it. That’s the one. Kanyezington had some stuff to say when he was performing in Brooklyn two nights ago. He went off in this half-rap, half-rant – you can see the video here (there’s NSFW language), but the gist of it is that Kanyezington hates Bruno Mars for being pretty:

Kayne West consulted with Rick Rubin while putting the finishing touches on his Yeezus album, but when the musical production guru gave his advice on how ‘Ye should approach the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, the fiery rapper just didn’t take heed.

“Just do your song and leave,” ‘Ye told fans at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Wednesday night of the pre-VMA advice he got from Rubin.

During last night’s Yeezus tour stop, though, ‘Ye explained why that was easier said than done.

“I’m sitting there, I’m trying to enjoy mother—-ers performing, and sh–. I’m looking, I’m watching Drake perform, I see Bruno Mars perform, and sh–,” Kanye told the crowd, as seen in a video posted online by RealTalkNY.com on Thursday morning (November 21). “And then they start giving out awards and sh–, and Bruno Mars won all the mother—-ing awards, and sh–.”

Actually, Bruno only won two awards: His “Locked Out of Heaven” vid won in the Best Male Video category and “Treasure” took home a Moonman in the non-televised Best Choreography category. Still, that didn’t stop West’s free-flowing stream of consciousness. “Can’t no mother—-ing networks try to gas everybody up so they can sell some product with the prettiest mother—-er out,” West barked. “I still ain’t see a video better than Beyoncé video ’till this mother—-ing day.”

MTV and pretty people weren’t the only ones who took heat. Kanye also took aim at the fashion world and the folks who once stopped him from entering the Givenchy and Balenciaga fashion shows. “You seen my interview on Jimmy Kimmel talking about how I want to do clothes, how I want support and sh–. And y’all say, ‘Why can’t he just do it by his self?’ Well, I want to let you know I signed my deal a week and a half ago,” he revealed, without saying who he actually signed the deal with.

“But if you sell enough sneakers, you get diminishing returns because they want you to stay in that position forever,” he continued, referencing the success he has had designing sneakers for Louis Vuitton and his Air Yeezy model for Nike.

He then went onto to jab at Nike CEO Mark Parker.

“They tried to make it as small as possible. Mark Parker even talked sh–, talking about, ‘We don’t even know why people like the Yeezys,’ ” he shouted. “They like ’em like they like the Jordans, because I was in fourth grade getting kicked out for drawing Jordans.”

[From MTV]

I would really like to know just how poorly Kanye was treated by the fashion industry people. Because I doubt it was THAT bad. Here’s what I really think happened: Kanye had a meeting with all of the serious fashion people and they were like, “Explain what you’d like to do, and we’ll see if we can make that happen.” And Kanye went on a two-hour rant about leather and style and his genius and slavery and by the end of the meeting, all of those fashion people were like, “Uh, no thanks.” As for the Bruno Mars thing – he is pretty. And talented. And he doesn’t go on epic rants about his genius. +1 for Bruno.

One more Yeezington story – yesterday, Page Six said that Kanye is really pushing hard for Kim to get her own Vogue cover and Anna Wintour still isn’t buying it. Now Radar claims that Kanye knows exactly HOW Wintour should do the Vogue cover: it should be a wedding cover, with Kim in the wedding gown. Apparently, Kanye asked Mario Testino to shoot the pictorial already and he’s getting Testino to speak to Wintour on Kim’s behalf. Good God, Kanye. Not even Posh Beckham is this f—king desperate.

    Lol Bruno’s album is one of the best albums to come out this year and he deserves the success and hype it’s getting.

    Kanye can continue to seethe 😉

    • Jenny says:

      Yes, and he also happens to be a GREAT live performer.

      • Dani2 says:

        Right? I mean, in going to a Yeezus concert, you’d count yourself lucky if he even showed up on time and even then you might be forced to listen to one of his “Genius” lectures. He needs to have several, he really does.

      • Ellie66 says:

        +10000 For Bruno excellent performer, songwriter and showman.

      • Florc says:

        I love Bruno Mars. Kanye can keep it up. He’s only making Bruno look better by comparisons.

      • mia girl says:

        A million times yes!

        I saw Bruno Mars in concert a few months back and it was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever been too. It was clear that he and his crew make it their mission to entertain the audience.

    • V4Real says:

      Bruno is one of the best entertainers in the music business today. I love his songs and performances. I remember when he participated in the tribute to Amy Winehouse (another singer I adored for her talents) he song “Valerie”. It was perfection and sounded like a song he could have wrote. Love him, all 5’5 of him.

      The Angry Rapper needs to take a seat and shut up.

    • Spooks says:

      Why do they refer to him as Ye? It’s so annoying. And his sentences are so hard to read for a non native speaker. Shakespeare is easier.
      Can someone please tell me, which Beyonce video is he reffering to?

      • Dani2 says:

        He was referring to “Single Ladies”.

      • Spooks says:

        Really? I can’t see anything special in that. She’s just dancing in black and white, like in most of her videos. But then again, I can’t stand Beyonce so I’m not the best judge.

      • Dani2 says:

        @Spooks I agree, it was a very simple video black and white + beyonce and a couple dancers, it really wasn’t groundbreaking in the way he made it out to be, it says a lot about him though, he thinks simple things are deep, complex and genius.

      • Tiffany :) says:

        Beyonce’s video was special because it was 1 shot, just 1 long tracking shot which meant it had to be nearly perfect all the way through. Dance videos usually include many edits, cuts and camera angles to hide inperfections. It kind of started a dance craze at the time, etc. I dont know if it was the most amazing thing of all time, but it was a great video.

      • RJ says:

        Kanye is crazy & Bey is a diva, but the Single Ladies video is pretty spectacular in terms of her dancing her ass off (same in live performance). I think she’s very (but not the most) talented, but also works very hard so I respect that. Compare that to Britney Spears’ “Work Bitch” video, her stiff & uninspired dancing reminded me of 53 yr old Madonna at the Superbowl (Brit is only 31)

      • Whatwhatnot says:

        He was referring to Single Ladies and it was not special or groudbreaking because the concept was already done by Fosse and It was called Mexican Breakfast. It was just shot in B&W and the dancers wore onesies. Beyonce and her team are concept stealers. Oh wait…They call it “inspiration”.

      • Michelle says:

        @Whatnotwhat—Exactly. Beyoncé admitted to basically stealing the idea from the Fosse videos. Not original at all.

      • Stef Leppard says:

        @spooks

        Kan-Ye.
        Is that what you were asking?

      • Spooks says:

        I realise it comes from Kan-Ye. I’m not that dumb, lol. I just think it’s annoying people call him that. It’s like calling me Ooks.

    • Diana says:

      Bruno def deserves the success. His albums are gold and he’s great live aswell all in a hansome package.

      • Zwella Ingrid says:

        I wonder if Kanye’s obsession with Beyoncé’s video isn’t more about a$$ kissing JayZ.

      • VioletCrumble says:

        This is exactly what I think it’s about, too. Nothing more, nothing less. He also wants his child’s mother brought into the inner sanctum…

        I wish someone would show this bucket-mouthed twat the door.. And soon.

      • Hakura says:

        @Zwella Ingred – That’s certainly a possibility, being a suck-up to Jay-Z. But it seems to me like Kanye has some sort of …’infatuation’…with Beyonce (Not necessarily romantic or physical ‘infatuation’, could just be that he admires her work, but to the extreme). It’s like to him, she is the embodiment of all his ideals, making her ‘the perfect woman’, which *could* also explain Kim’s sudden changes of her hair & face, if she thought she needed to become more like Beyonce in order to keep Kanye happy/attracted to her (provided he *is* attracted to women at all, that is).

        He’s been extremely public about his belief regarding her work & the sort of recognition it gets (the whole ‘Taylor Swift incident’ when Beyonce didn’t win at the VMA’s that year).

  2. Frida_K says:

    Wah, wah, wah. He should just shove a fish stick in his mouth and shut up.

    • allons-y alonso says:

      Ha! Brilliant!

    • LB says:

      His talent isn’t worth this trouble. Especially when his new album isn’t even all that great. Stronger will be forever my workout jam but enough already.

      He reminds me of those people who want to come off as intellectual by using big words but he almost always uses the wrong word. Shove a fish stick in his mouth indeed.

      • Lake Mom says:

        Kind of hard to come off as an intellectual when your vocabulary only contains the same few cuss words.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      A very suitable response to his behavior. He is a child. The world revolves around him, and if it stops for a minute, no fair! He’s cheating! You like him better! Ugh.

      • Arock says:

        Poor nori. “Hey, mother f-ing mom, what the f-k is this, f-ing waffles? I made f-ing waffles yesterday for breakfast, you had even thought about your f-ing dinner. Imma let you finish, but dads f-ing waffles are better.”
        Sigh.
        Nice sweatshirt, yeezus.

      • gg says:

        @ Arock – 😆 lmao

    • Ellie66 says:

      😀 LOL!

    • Tiffany :) says:

      I am so glad you brought this up. All I can think of when gets all serious about himself is South Park and his love of fish sticks.

  3. Elisabeth says:

    can you imagine this little shithead as a kid? his fucking whining and complaining would drive me insane

    • gogoGorilla says:

      I just don’t understand how anyone can deal with him for any length of time. He must be completely exhausting to be around.

      In better news, who makes that sweatshirt?? It’s really cute. Is it Lululemon? I’m pretty sure it’s not his own line. *snicker*

      • TheOrginalKitten says:

        Lululemon! LOL

        On a serious note though–no woman should buy Lululemon. It’s sketch as hell, and I’m not just talking about the see-through aspect of their yoga pants.

        I’m side-eyeing you big-time, Chip Wilson.

      • gogoGorilla says:

        Totally agree, OK!

        (I only brought it up because there’s an insigna on the front that looks like either Lulu or Athleta.)

    • Ally8 says:

      Which is why that Jimmy Kimme was perfect.

      Hence my name suggestion:

      Whineye Leather-Onesie

    • VC Blackwell says:

      E Z to imagine, Elizabeth. He’s the same lil shithead he’s ALWAYS been! ; )

  4. Gossy says:

    Lol at the shade at Taylor Swift (seriously Taylor dropped it in 2011, can’t he do the same?) where he says “Beyoncé’s still got the best music video”

  5. tifzlan says:

    I generally dislike Bruno Mars and most of his songs make me feel like i need to file a sexual harassment suit against him but i think his album was well done and he deserved the awards. Ya’ll know Kanye was just pouting about the fact that he didn’t win them!

    • Buckwild says:

      I think his songs are catchy but his lyrics are so over the top that it turns me off. Too sappy “I’d catch a greeeeeenade for youuuuu”

  6. ANDREA1 says:

    Someone please slap some sense into kanye west! Plus this guy is over hyped I wonder why some of you consider kanye west a genius. He is far from one..

  7. LadyMTL says:

    Hahahahaha, we could call him Kanyeezington Uglyshoes because seriously, his footwear is awful. These suede things look to be the gross fringed ones from a few days ago.

    As for his comments well, am I surprised? Nope. The day I hear him compliment someone (other than Kim), I think I’ll faint.

  8. Hannah says:

    Yawn.

  9. Kiki says:

    I love Bruno Mars… He deserves it.

  10. Jay2 says:

    Kanye better not come for my baby daddy Bruno. I don’t see him performing at the Super Bowl next year.

  11. Bananapants says:

    Used to be Ye’s biggest champion. Now I wish he’d move to another galaxy, because I cannot with him anymore. I’ve asked people not to ever mention his name in my presence.

  12. yuck says:

    Does he not understand that labels like Nike and LV only want his NAME for prospective new product lines, not his “genius”? Does anyone really think Jay Z sits around all day drawing T-shirts? Cash the check and STFU, Kanye, you sound ridiculous. Oh and for heaven’s sake, learn to speak coherently, Yeez-ish isn’t likely to replace English in your lifetime.

    • gg says:

      lol. Fun with Yeezonics. Is he really wearing a robin’s egg blue sweater? How un-pretend gangsta of him.

      • Shannon1972 says:

        It’s a *cashmere* robins egg blue sweater. I have one just like it, and it’s so snuggly that I can’t shade anyone for wearing it. It’s delicious. However, I love Yeezonics! Hilarious! He truly speaks another language. 🙂

        On topic: he needs to just shut up now. The more he tries to convince people he’s a genius, the dumber he sounds. It’s not like Einstein went around proclaiming his genius all the time. Sheesh.

      • gg says:

        You know who I quite miss now because of him? Will.I.Am. I used to really dislike him because of his ego, but he doesn’t even come close to Yeezish now.

        It’s very telling how Yeez won’t just start up his own label fashion house and put his money where his mouth is. At least he knows he has to ride under the apron of a huge established name or nobody will be interested.

    • Amy says:

      Why does he only speak gibberish? What he says makes NO sense at all. I tried to re-read what he said a few times thinking I must be missing something…but no. He talks like he took a couple Ambiens and then forced himself to stay awake afterwards…complete and utter gibberish.

      He’s rapidly becoming a laughingstock freak. No wonder Kim has dead eyes. Imagine living with this joke and having to listen to this gibberish daily.

      And wtf is this about “fashion”? If the ridiculous get ups he stuffs Kim into are examples of his fashion “prowess” *giggles*…then he just shouldn’t bother.

  13. feebee says:

    Can someone remind me which Beyonce video it was….. is it the one she ripped off the dance moves?

    I’ve stopped trying to understand the mess of mind that is Kanye West.

  14. Blannie says:

    Did you miss the whole Kanye/Zappos flap? Kanye said Zappos sells sh*t products so Zappos (gotta love them!) set up a sh*t products page. The comments on the page are hilarious. Here’s the link: http://www.zappos.com/shit-product

    • Shannon1972 says:

      Oh my god…that is freakin hilarious! The comments made me choke on my coffee..,thanks for the link!! Zappos 1, Kanye 0.

    • littlestar says:

      Hahaha the comments are pure gold!

    • gg says:

      That is wonderful. I bought some kickass blue Doc Martens on Zappos. They do not sell shit products.

    • DailyNightly says:

      I picture him looking at the Zappo’a page and having a total meltdown when he see everyone laughing at him. Full scale tantrum!

  15. Dawn says:

    What a foolish a-hole. If he knows everything there is to know as he proclaims he needs to STFU and just do all of it with Kim. I don’t know who this major goof is that signed him in the fashion world but when I find out I will NOT support the brand in any way. This is a guy who only picks on people he thinks he can beat at something, oh how I wish he would start a war with Em, I’d like to see someone wipe the floor with this little piss ant. And Anna Wintour if you give into his childish desperate rants about giving Kimmode the cover of Vogue your daughter needs to take you to a doctor and have your head examined. What is it going to take for the world to get sick of this jerk who screams about privacy and then does his best to get press.

  16. Chibichichai says:

    Oh yeezington, just start a new fashion magazine. It’s the perfect platform to showcase your AAAAARRRT and CREATIVE GENIUS OF TGE GREATEST FASHION EXPERT OF ALLLLLLLL TIIIIIIIIME.

    But seriously he needs to stop. Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars are pretty talented people. I think to piss Kanye off, Anna should give a cover to Taylor. I’m not saying she deserves one but imagine the epic meltdown from Posh, Kanye and Kimmy Kakes.

    • jecca says:

      Honestly, I would be all over that magazine. It’d be like watching a slow-motion trainwreck or some kind of two-headed sideshow animal. I wouldn’t be able to keep my morbid curiosity away from it.

  17. blue marie says:

    I might be alone in this, but lately Kanye has been entertaining the hell outta me. I mean, yeah he’s douche-y in some of his responses but still.. he makes me laugh. (most of the time, the 12 Years a Slave comparison was poor form) Kanye, is Kanye’s worst enemy-no one else.

    I think the Jeggingbottom should be the name of his brand, come on-can you imagine him Goop-style?

    • bbb1975 says:

      You aren’t alone, I told my husband that Kanye is my go to joke right now. Everything he says is unintentional comedy gold. That video…no words!
      I am curious though…If he is such an artistic genius, and most people can’t understand the levels his brain functions at, why does he care so much about such common awards? I mean, shouldn’t he be saying “Of course I don’t get awards, my musicology is so advanced no one can even see it when its right in front of them”? just curious

  18. Anna says:

    I actually think the opposite happened with Kanye and fashion. I bet he went in there and said his ideas like a regular person and then was treated badly which is why he acts this way now.
    Because if anyone else remembers the timeline, he only really began to do these rants and shade the world AFTER he went into fashion and worked at Fendi (or another designer)..

    • gg says:

      Exactly what I was thinking. He’s gotten pretty specific in his rants lately. If he thinks they will now take him in since he’s been bitching about them, he is pretty out of touch.

    • fallen says:

      This! I think at the time I also remember reports about them being racist toward him?

  19. The Original G says:

    So, maybe he should guest design some sock for Rob’s men’s line?

    BTW, is it me or is Kanye out tabloiding the K’s, lately? He seems to have OD’d on the PMK Kool-aid.

  20. EscapedConvent says:

    I still ain’t see a nastier, sicker twist than Kanye West to this motherf**king day.

    He’s gone beyond being a narcissistic egomaniac. He is a mean-spirited, petty, jealous, whining little poser. Equating his “struggle” to be a “creative” with slavery is too much for me & the last f**king straw.

    Can we stop feeding his delusions of grandeur, please? Could you stop posting stories about him? That is the first time I have ever said that, about anyone.

  21. dorothy says:

    For someone that try’s to project an air of confidence he’s always whining about something. Not everyone is as enamored with him, as he is with himself. His manager must really have his hands full with this nut.

  22. eliza says:

    I am sorry but I understood nothing in his sh*t laden rant.

    He is the most insecure, jealous person in the music industry and that is saying something.

    Oh and GIVE IT A REST on the Single Ladies vid from a hundred years ago. NO ONE CARES!

  23. Kiddo says:

    How long until the rant about how most people thought the music video was a joke? Is he saving that for Monday?

  24. Maria T. says:

    I put way too much energy into thinking about Kanye West, but here’s my take: I think that he’s bipolar. Remember when Kim was pregnant and he basically ignored her the whole time? Remember that famous video where he didn’t hold the door open for her? And then she has the baby and he’s all Tom Cruising it up “I love this WOMAN!” And the ranting and raving about being a genius? Classic bipolar manic grandiosity. Whoever is enabling him to make crappy music and cringe-inducing music videos (I had SO much second-hand embarrassment for them after watching that) deserves a special place in hell.

    • Kiddo says:

      They never appear to have any chemistry between them, that’s pretty consistent.

    • littlestar says:

      I was reading the comments on a Yeezus article last night, and one of the commenters put forth an interesting theory – they think Kanye might have frontal lobe damage from his car accident years ago, because he’s displaying side effects consistent with frontal lobe damage – loss of inhibition, extreme theatrics… Who knows whether it’s true or not, it’s just speculation, but it is still pretty interesting and does make quite a bit of sense.

      • gg says:

        Interesting and I think you may have something there. The chemistry definitely aint’ right, it’s not all ego, it seems to be fueled by something else.

      • Kiddo says:

        But wasn’t the reason that he had the accident because he sped off in huff, being angry in the first place for people not recognizing his genius? Someone here, who claimed to be an insider, said something to that effect a while back.

      • TheOrginalKitten says:

        Oh I went to high school with a guy who had severe frontal lobe damage from a car accident and his personality changed COMPLETELY.

        I’m going to just say it as ineloquently as possible: he got really, really weird.
        Basically the EXACT symptoms that Littlestar describes. Very uncomfortable to be around and you couldn’t get mad at the guy…he was messed up.

        Wouldn’t be surprised if this was something that happened to Kanye, also wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just trolling.

        Regardless, he is incredibly annoying to listen to.

      • Kiddo says:

        If that’s the case, I would have more sympathy, but I’m not sure my tolerance for the complaints would increase drastically. And sorry about your friend. that must be really sad, that you lost him in a way.

      • han says:

        But he wasn’t like that when his first album came out. At which point the accident had already occurred. If you watch his interviews around college dropout he was quite humble. Its more like success went to his head in a spectacular manner. Maybe he has some mental health issues too.

    • Anonymous says:

      As someone who suffers from bipolar 1, I get really frustrated when someone just throws it out to label behavior that is unfamiliar to them. Nobody without a degree that specializes in mental health or behavioral studies should be diagnosing anyone, and even then they better be personally treating them to correctly asses such a diagnosis/opinion.

      This guy displays no symptoms of bipolar 1 or bipolar 2. The sense of grandiosity that you mention (along with a laundry list of destructive symptoms) would be promptly displayed during a manic episode that comes in waves and usually lasts anywhere from 1 week to a week and half, he then most likely would “come down” and enter a mild to deep depression. Unfortunately, he seems to display consistent traits of anger, egomaniac, erratic and, hostile behavior. At least someone with bipolar is not a total a-hole 24/7. I can thankfully say that we get a break every now and then before we go back to unpredictability. You see, that’s what makes bipolar disorder so difficult to understand for outsiders – its unpredictable yet its patters are obvious to those who know the signs. I don’t know what this guy is suffering from either on a emotional level, a mental state, or even a physical one, but as someone who was diagnosed with bipolar at age 15, and I know when I see it – this guy is not manic depressive.

      • TheOrginalKitten says:

        With all due respect (and I genuinely mean that), this is just speculation on a gossip blog, not an official diagnosis or anyone definitively claiming that Kanye has bipolar.

        That being said, I DO agree with you about the armchair psychology getting really old. I think people just try to understand the bizarre behavior of celebs (and others) and get carried away with it.
        I can definitely understand your frustration, from the perspective of someone who suffers from the illness being discussed, but just know that the speculation is just that: SPECULATION, and ultimately pretty harmless.

        EDIT: And also, thank you for the detailed clarification about the different symptoms associated with bipolar and manic depressives.

      • TinyTurtle says:

        Thats just your take on Bipolar
        I am also Bipolar I and II, also rapid cycle and mixed episodes.
        I had a mania episode last for 7 months once, My dr had me drugged to my eyeballs and I was still up for that long.

        Bipolar comes in many many forms
        It also greatly depends on the personality of the person that has it.
        And it depends on the Will and self control of the person who has it.

        I personally hate when people with bipolar use it as an excuse for their behavior.
        Let me give an example:
        A friend of mine and my sister is Bipolar, she will completely go off the rails in her personal life and make her husband and friends and family life suck with all the drama, chaos and shitty choices she makes. She uses her bipolarness as the excuse. And it is an excuse because does she ever act like that in her professional life? No, never. She uses it as a crutch and to give herself permission to act like a raging bitch in her personal life.
        Is she truly bipolar? Yes, very. She has had to be committed a few times in the past and during those times she did have an excuse because she was no longer able to control herself.
        It doesn’t matter if you have a mental illness or not, life is about choices and unless you are so batshit delusional you need to be committed everyone is able to make them. The fact that she is able to control herself in her professional world tells me she makes the choice to behave selfishly in her personal life. Thats where her personality comes in, she is a very self centered person.

        I do control myself in my personal life, and even when i have had times where I needed help I still was in control of the choices I made at that time.
        The last time I went manic(The true euphoric mania), about 3 years ago, I handed my car keys, my check book, my credit cards, had my husband change the passwords on my ebay and other online accounts and had him call my shrink to get me help to come down. I could have let myself go and embraced the mania (and you do feel pretty damn awesome) but I have children that I love and put first so I made the CHOICE to take the steps to get back to normal the fastest I could.

        So mental illness is a real thing, and bipolar is a very powerful mental illness. But just because someone has it does not excuse them from the choices they make. And unless the person is so delusional they don’t know who they are and they are unable to make choices (in which case they need to be committed) they are fully responsible for their actions.
        It is also a choice to get help before you get to the point your batshit crazy, unless the person is undiagnosed or it is their first episode you can tell when it’s coming on, not sleeping is a big clue that’s easy to recognize.

    • gg says:

      He does display mania and depression though. Let’s just say he has mysterious issues of unknown origin.

        I wanted to mention that the first part of my statement very much applied to me as well. I don’t know this guy (nor do I have any interest in doing so) so my comment is also speculation. My feelings arise from quacks like Dr.Drew/Dr. Phil. They speculate but they fool the public into thinking their opinion matters more than the average person just because they once held a degree that may or may not be relevant to the field at subject. That’s why, I believe, there is so much confusion and stigma surrounding mental illness. I felt very protective regarding Britney Spears during her troubles because I can relate and I’m glad so many were sympathetic to her state of mind.

        And, GG, it doesn’t matter that he displays mania or depression. The symptoms are only half of the diagnosis. Family history and PATTERN helps determine the diagnosis. Bipolar can be easily confused with border line personality or a hundred other mental disorders because many include manic and depression but how often you display those symptoms helps distinguish your illness. Obviously, that’s only something a professional can conclude. But, yes, he is… Acting irrational but there can be a million reasons as to why. To me he displays all the symptoms of a moron who has his head shoved up his own arse 😉

    I could see Kim on a second rate bridal cover in an over the top gown…NOT Vogue. Ever.

    Somebody get this whiny bytch a fresh bottle and a binkie.

    Goddamn, somebody with so much money and a new baby and he is just a miserable pr!ck.

  28. Itwillrain says:

    Well, Bruno is much more palatable to the mainstream…plus he’s an adorable teddy bear so he gets away with lyrics such as “you and me baby making love like gorillas.”

  29. Josephine says:

    He seems like such a miserable guy. He should be on top of the world – he gets to do what he wants for a living, and has become rich doing it, and he has a child and a baby mama. But he can only complain and feel persecuted and insult anyone else with talent that apparently threatens him. So insecure, so sad, so immature.

    On another note, why doesn’t he finance his own designs? He claims himself to be rich and powerful and a known leader in fashion, yet is so insecure that he cannot put his money where his ego is.

  30. The Original Mia says:

    Kanyezington Jeggingbottom…hahahahahahaha

    Bruno Mars is great. Love his songs. I used to like Kanye, but since his ego has eaten what little brain matter present, I have nothing for him or his girl, Kim. Have a stadium full of seats, you egotistical, jealous pissant. So over your issues. Most people would enjoy the success they have, instead of pontificating endlessly about how they’ve been mistreated as a rich rapper. STFU, douchenozzle!

  31. BlackRose says:

    Enough! God he’s such a vindictive whiny baby about everything. Kim better watch herself. . When their fake relationship comes to and end he’s going to make her life hell.

  32. BravoCueen says:

    Anybody who has not seen his Bound2 video (with Kimmy) should stop what you’re doing right now. IT is seriously, the worst production, sound, visual, lyrics, you name it and it’s awful. As the mother of a teenage son I have seen a LOT of amateurish videos (kids all think they can rap these days) but this is so bad my son thought it was a parody! It will literally make your day.

    • Jayna says:

      It was awful. And I found it gross when Kim is even kissing Kanye. Something is really off with those two when they are romantic like in those scenes. Yuck. I think Kim must have to close her eyes and fantasize about kissing Reggie and having sex with Reggie when she’s with Kanye. It’s the only thing that gets her through it.

  33. PoliteTeaSipper says:

    He sounds like a contestant on Project Runway.

  34. Eileen says:

    I read that he also went off on Zappos and they had an amazing reply to him-I really like Bruno Mars-Kanye is just an angry man

  35. BeckyR says:

    Kanye will never shut up–his gimmick is chronic running off at the mouth. His “music” is a joke. He yells a lot of 3rd rate rhymes and wouldn’t even say it is poetry…it’s crap!!!!! The joke is on everyone who actually buys tickets to see or him or pays for his “music”.

    • MonkSolo says:

      My theory about Kanye’s success is that he takes samples from regular musicians and then dumbs them down into “songs” that appeal to the lowest common denominator consumer.

  36. Mo says:

    I just watched Bruno’s Treasure and the choreography is TIGHT in more ways than one. He has about nine guys dancing in sync in a small space and even the arm moves that emphasize the beat are perfect. Now I understand there is a lot of editing to these videos, but the moves are well put together. Maybe if Kanye took off his head mask he’d be able to master moves like this. I’ve not watched much of his stuff (except the last one with Kim K) but he seems to surround himself with withering females for the most part. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion…

    • Relli says:

      Maybe, but even when they performed on SNL they were completely in sync AND were playing instruments at the same time, it was phenomenal . At that point I had only heard his songs on the radio I hadn’t see him perform, Bruno Mars has IT.

      • MO says:

        Yea, Thanks for reminding me of that SNL performance That’s when I realized I was in love with Bruno. I love that he surrounds himself with guys that are about twice his size. He’s so cool, talented and can sure carry a tune.

  37. Marigold says:

    This guy. There isn’t enough space in this little box for all the sh*t I’d like to talk about Kanye. I’ll just say this-Bruno Mars has one hell of an album. A decent voice, REAL instruments (that HE and not just a band can play) and a lot of throwback sound. He deserves the accolades. I hope Kim is ready to constantly be genuflecting to this a**hole because that looks to be her future.

  38. Arock says:

    Bruno mars is incredibly talented, he’s an amazing performer. And it’s the VMA’s, not the Nobel Prize so tAke a seat, Kanye. Having Kim nod blankly at you all the time is not an indicator of genius nor to does it obligate anyone to listen to your shit. He should go make music before everyone completely tires of his schtick.

  39. han says:

    Why is he attacking Bruno Mars of all people? Brunos cute but he is also seriously talented. Why doesn’t kanye attack the Katy Perrys and the one directioners instead. Those are pretty people who don’t even write their own songs and barely plays an instrument. Bruno can lay down the music to his own tracks, he plays that many instruments, is a brilliant songwriter and puts on a better live show than most. He is one of the best mainstream artists right now. The only explanation is that he considers Bruno a threat and is jealous of his success.

    • Diana says:

      Perry does write her songs

    • Whatwhatnot says:

      Agreed. Bruno is gifted. He can actually create a song from from scratch. Kanye is (was) just talented at taking an old song and sampling them to create new beats. On top of that Bruno is much better looking than Kanye. There is a lot to be jealous of there.

  40. TheOneandOnlyOnly says:

    These comments are too good; and after reading some of the “lyrics” of his latest masterpiece, I agree with Beckyr that you must be absolutely deluded to believe he’s a poetic/lyrical genius;
    I don’t even think the big Yeezus in the sky understands little whiny Yeezus.

  41. gg says:

    How anybody can shade the insanely talented Bruno Mars I can’t pretend to know. The man can do anything musically. Anyone using the same adjectives for Kanyeeeez is not in their right mind.

  42. Jayna says:

    “Explain what you’d like to do, and we’ll see if we can make that happen.” And Kanye went on a two-hour rant about leather and style and his genius and slavery and by the end of the meeting, all of those fashion people were like, “Uh, no thanks.”

    Classic. LOL

  43. Katie says:

    Kanye, you’re voluntarily spending time with Kim Kardashian AND you procreated with her. For as much as I loved you after your Taylor Swift tantrum, you no longer get to have an opinion.

    Also, Bruno Mars is not that good looking. I mean, he ain’t ugly, but his personality and musical talent/stage presence go a long way towards making him attractive. I’ve been listening to “Unorthodox Jukebox” almost nonstop since it came out.

  44. Megan says:

    Bruno Mars over Kanye west any day. Bruno is one of the best live performers I’ve ever seen, Kanye can’t compete with that kind of talent. Not to mention he seems like a genuine guy and pretty nice.

    • jen says:

      He’s super sweet, I met him after his concert a couple years ago and he really makes time for his fans. Plus like you said he is AMAZING live, I still haven’t seen anyone else in concert who is as good as him.

  45. Dommy Dearest says:

    I think Kanye thinks that autotunes is talent. No baby Kanye it isn’t. Bruno Mars (from what I heard) can actually sing.

    At this point I’m waiting to see his head explode from the fullness of his ego. Kanye’s album that had the song ‘Through The Wire’ was the only one that was good. The rest of them have been crap. Someone knock him off his high horse already.

    • ann h says:

      I’d love for some of the performers to have an autotune FREE concert or record. Then we’d see who has the talent.
      Most of them would be kicked to the curb.

  46. madchen says:

    I don’t think he’s mentally ill or has had a head injury. He sounds like a classic narcissist. He’s also not terribly bright which makes the narcissism all the more intolerable.

    • Chrissy says:

      This reminds me of the time that he did run into that sign outside the parking
      garage and then lost it with the paps. Maybe his behavior can be linked to that.

  47. Marybel says:

    Even in still shots, he comes across so gay. He might feel better if he just came out.

  48. judyjudy says:

    Bruno 4-evah!

  49. Hot Farts says:

    Bruno Mars is the sh*t and that’s it—sooo great live!

    What would be the purpose of the Kimslore being on the cover of Vogue. It is not playboy or penthouse or the cover of a Vivid video…that’s her thing. Is it like the last thing she wants to do because she knows her 15 are now over…I say no. Once you show your vulvaupclose to the masses…NO VOGUEY FOR YOU!

  50. Dirty martini says:

    What a tedious bore.

  51. Caz says:

    boohoo. Kanye’s peeved because everyone’s calling him out for his awful video with a heavily photoshopped/body doubled Kim in it.

    Bruno Mars is super-talented. Kanye not so much. Even though he thinks he is.

  52. Kerrboom says:

    I hate Kanye West. I hate him so, so much. If I had to choose between being stuck in a room with LeAnn Rimes, Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen and Kristen Stewart for a month straight or Kanye West for 5 minutes, I’d choose LeAnn, Brooke, Charlie and Kristen. Not just because I hate Kanye more than the other four combined, but also because there isn’t a room big enough to fit Kanye’s ego and another person.

    • Josephine says:

      He’s not worth spending that emotion on. Think of him as a sad, insecure child, and pity him. That would drive him much more crazy than being hated!!

  53. Sarah says:

    Why is Kanye so obsessed with awards? He has made a fool of himself over not getting or someone else getting them numerous times. For someone who speaks so highly of himself, you would think he doesn’t need the adulation of others since he knows how great he is. His whole persona screams of intense insecurity.

  54. potatoheaded bobby says:

    zappos owns kimye. too freaking funny. stupid potato head.

  55. Moi says:

    He’s a jealous MF, and I will tell you why. Bruno Mars music is not my style of music. However, after seeing that man perform live on tv 3 times, I became a fan. He’s not my type and he’s handsome yes, but it was his live performances that blew me away. Kanye is going to disintegrate if he keeps this anger and bitterness up. Sad really.

  56. str8shooter says:

    I wonder if ‘Ye’ or whatever the f**k he’s calling himself these days wonders what an uneducated ignoramus he sounds like in these interviews. No grasp of the English language at all. And I’m sorry but that crappy Beyoncé video?? Again??

    It’s because you SUCK Kanye. No other reason. And this coming from someone who actually finds you talented and (used to) like your music.

    Go away and take your human sex doll with you.

  57. KelBear04 says:

    Bruno’s newest album has been in my car cd player for months now. It’s just so damn good. Moonshine is probably my favorite song on there. I also won tickets from the radio to see his Moonshine Jungle Tour in D.C. It was his first concert of the tour and was absolutely amazing!!! It was so fun and sexy. The encore of him singing Locked Out of Heaven and Gorilla was my favorite part but I will never forget him singing Ginuwines song, Pony.

    Anyway, back to the topic here. Kanye’s just jealous of the wins.

  58. Jayna says:

    Bruno is considered so talented, and while cute, he is definitely no hunk. Kanye is making a fool of himself these days whining about other artists winning things, especially because Bruno is highly regarded in the music industry.

    Shut up already about Beyonce’s video. While a really great music video that was better than Taylor’s, to say you’ve never seen a better music video to this mother f’n day, are you insane? Not even in the top ten ever made. Go watch Thriller or Express Yourself or countless others to see what a brilliant music video is. You embarrass yourself daily. It’s obvious you are so obsessed with Beyonce that you’re turning Kimmie into Beyonce (albeit a budget version) before our very eyes. The transformation is just missing two things that Kimmie will never have that Bey does, which are talent and class.

  59. palermo says:

    Bruno has charm, he can sing, he can dance, he’s a true performer. I don’t know what you would call what Kanye does
