Over the weekend, the Chicago Sun-Times posted a story in which they allege that producer Kanye West was heading to anger management classes, put together by his own management team in attempt to combat his infamous temper tantrums.
Well, in true Kanye fashion, he lashed out at reports, dismissing them as simply rumors. He's not shy about expressing his feelings about certain situations since he started blogging on his site, and of course, he wasn't that happy about this one in particular.
In a blog item posted on his official site on Monday (July 7), his headline pretty much was a response in itself. It read, "No Anger Management ... If Anything I Need Anger Enhancement! LOL!!!"
In Kanye's short rant, he pretty much says that people shouldn't believe everything they read.
"Do y'all remember when people said my fiancé was pregnant???? ... I'm just using that as an example of how people make up stuff and everybody runs with it," he wrote. "I had my own family asking me about that. Now the media is saying I'm going to anger management something or 'nother. I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!! lol! I get off the plane in Hawaii today and the world is saying my management team said blah blah blah ... SIIIIIIGGGHHHH! I told the media you can't make up lies about me because I have a media outlet myself."
The Kanye response came after Friday's article by the Sun-Times, in which an unnamed "insider" in Ye's his camp allegedly said they thought anger-management classes would improve West's own "personal psychological well-being and relationship with friends," as well as help him in business.
The source said that there are big endorsement deals on the table, but the companies interested are concerned with West's behavior, which sometimes people call diva-ish.
