What a fuggin jagoffKanye Blogs: No Bisexual Porn for Me! One awards show stage Kanye West won't be storming anytime soon: The AVNs.After catching wind of an outrageous???even for him???Internet report claiming that the rapper was "open to doing porn" and, in particular, "bisexual scenes," West has shot back on his blog, blasting the fake, hater-fueled interview and claiming that someone is trying to tamp down his greatness by hacking into his online accounts."Yoooo why won't you let me be great!!!" writes West. [Editor's note: We've translated to spare you his signature all-cap style.]"I had the two greatest days of my life and when I get back...I read some s--t claiming I said I'm down to do porn and some bisexual porn!!!!!"Please I beg you, give me a break!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me be great!!!"The rumor began on Tuesday when an anonymous poster launched a thread on AllHipHop.com's online forums with an interview containing what he claimed were quotes from West.AVN, Adult Video News, naturally picked up the juicy item, which led to its massive Web dissemination.In the phony interview, West was quoted as saying he had a "softcore porn" based on his new album, 808s & Heartbreaks, in the works and then launched into his own possible participation in like projects."I know people will find that as another thing to hate me on, but f--- it. I'm open to doing porn," he was reported to have said. "Hell, I'll even do bisexual scenes. Myself, another man and a woman or just me and two women. I know people will find that as some weird s---t but I am who I am."The story has since been pulled from AllHipHop's forums and AVN has apologized for running with the item.Not that that seems to have satisfied West, who appears to be suffering one online injustice after another."I can't believe the AVN would post," he wrote. "First people believed the Twitter/Stephen Colbert thing, Rolling Stone even printed it!!!! Now somebody has been hacking into my MySpace and somebody's actually hacked into my personal gmail account and has been emailing people from it."The "Twitter/Stephen Colbert thing" refers to a fake Twitter account set up in West's name in the wake of The Colbert Report's successful carryout of Operation Humble Kanye last month."Who the f---is Stephen Colbert?" was the tweet that caught the press' attention, but West refuted his involvement in the account and the page has since been removed.But it wasn't the end of West's hack attack."Hey world I no longer have a gmail! I found out I had twelve unauthorized Skype accounts under my name!!! This all in the past four days. Welcome to Kanye West world!"It's a world which, admittedly, isn't all bad. Earlier this week, the rapper performed at one of the many inauguration balls in honor of President Barack Obama and then launched his new shoe line for Louis Vuitton, which he called "a dream come true."

All the Kanye hate aside, it's refreshing to have an artist/celebrity of his stature who's not afraid to speak for themselves. Too many of these folks hide behind political correctness and publicists. HoLmes just puts his self out there and pretty much beats hits critics at their own game.

I don't understand what's so "jagoff" about being offended by repeated attempts to hack one's email, spread rumors about their sexuality, and the blogeratti's such lack of scruples that they'll just run it all the way downfield without checking for a flag first.

He asked to be messed with. His reactions to this stuff are understandable, but he's a jagoff cuz he's a jagoff. JP, you're totally right tho, I just thought da Strut would find this amusing.

What a cool guy.

i like the way that he feels the need to coat himself in the logo of a luxury brand, that is so cool.

could it be that in his mind he's saying "I just had the two best days of my life, this bullshit rumor starts and is ruining my mood. I was feeling great. Just let me be great."

Yes, dude refers to himself as being great and all that, but I wouldn't be surprised if he actually meant "just let me enjoy my life at the moment hateurs."

He very likely could have meant "let me be awesome like I am" but who cares. That's why he's famous. He's smart.


You wanna know why I like Kanye? On his first album he seemed pretty down to earth and he had a 9 minute song where he talked about making his own bed that he bought at IKEA. This was on an album on Def Jam and it was over the Love drums. He's blown up 100 million fold since then, but I still feel like he's that young beat maker who wanted a little shine and went for it. No matter how obnoxious and Martin Louie King JR he gets, I still feel like he's got that "I made my own IKEA bed" in him and all of this stuff is tongue in cheek, even if it's only 1% tongue in cheek at this point.
