Kanye West deletes angry Jimmy Kimmel Twitter posts

Kanye West has deleted Twitter messages saying Jimmy Kimmel is "out of line" for spoofing his Radio 1 interview.

Last month, the chat show host recreated a video of his interview with Zane Lowe, replacing the pair with two children.

After the sketch aired, West tweeted: "Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years."

Kimmel revealed on his chat show he had a "very angry phone call" from West.

Kanye West wrote a number of further tweets criticising the chat show host and the sketch, which have now been taken down.

"I don't take it as a joke... You don't have scum bags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter."

He added: "I like you, you know me, I went to your family's wedding."

Referring to the comedian's former girlfriend, the rapper also wrote: "Sarah Silverman is a thousand times funnier than you and the whole world knows it."

During the one-hour Radio 1 interview, Kanye West spoke about his relationship with Kim Kardashian, his views on the paparazzi and how he felt racism held back black artists.

Discussing his music career, he said: "Rap is the new rock 'n' roll. We are the real rock stars and I'm the biggest of all of them.

"I'm the number one rock star on the planet."
