Kanye West performed on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this past Saturday (February 13) and was apparently secretly recorded while voicing his frustrations backstage about SNL staff changing his set and Taylor Swift, according to Page Six.
“Look at that shit, they took my fucking stage off a SNL without asking me,” West says on the recording before threatening to walk. “Now I’m bummed. That and Taylor Swift, fake ass.”
“Now I ain’t gonna do this, we’re breaking the motherfucking internet,” Ye continues. “I went through six years of this fucking shit. Let’s get to it, bro. Let’s get to it, bro.”
The G.O.O.D. Music boss gave Swift a shout out on his The Life of Pablo cut, “Famous,” in which he alludes that he made “that bitch famous” and they should still have sex.
The Grammy Award-winning singer rebuffed Kanye’s proclamations at the Grammys in her Album of the Year acceptance speech on Monday (February 15).
Page Six alleges that the “Ultralight Beam” rapper was yelling at SNL staff, however a source close to Yeezy denies those claims and shares that he was venting his frustrations with his team after discovering that his stage design was changed without approval, Rolling Stone reports.
“He had spent an entire day rehearsing and [put] a lot of hard work into the performance,” West‘s representative says. “Dramatic set changes were made 30 minutes before going live. It should be understandable why he was upset after being completely blindsided.”
The Chicago rapper then stresses how much more influential he is than filmmaker Stanley Kubrik, Pablo Picasso, Pablo Escobar and Apostle Paul.
“Are they fucking crazy?,” Kanye says. “Whoa by 50 percent. Stanley Kubrick, Picasso, Apostle Paul, fucking Picasso and Escobar. By 50 percent more influential than any other human being. Don’t fuck with me. Don’t fuck with me. Don’t fuck with me. By 50 percent dead or alive, by 50 percent for the next 1,000 years. Stanley Kubrick, ‘Ye.”
Despite his rant, the “Famous” rapper did perform on the show alongside The-Dream, Kelly Price, Kirk Franklin and Chance the Rapper for “Ultralight Beam.”
Kanye was said to have thanked SNL producer Lorne Michaels and SNL staff before departing.
Kanye’s rant from backstage of SNL is as follows:

Can’t tell your BLACK, I’m sorry, “african american”
Imm sure she’s finer than any girl you’ve ever pulled in your entire life. And she isn’t a pornstar sucking relevance from gay black men.
This dude is on a serious path to self destruction, waiting to implode. The things he says are so absurd. This is the type of dude that’ll commit suicide I bet. This dudes end is near and it’ll be tragic. But for what? Some half ass delusional type music, bum looking clothing, ugly shoes and a cunt of a wife. He invites all this drama all this attention but really for what I wonder? What’s this dudes motives? I give Kanye another 3-4 years on this earth. This guy is one of the single most hated people on this earth, serious psychological problems. His own crew who put him on back in the day don’t mess w him except Jay…jay is a leach tho
Jay another homo with a fronting female. Will Smith, that dude with the transexual wife, Jon Legend,,,,,,,,the list goes on.
I be Puerto Rican Day Parade floating
this is all scriped to promote his new album. he does this shit every time. how sway? leather jogging pants. you aint got the answers sway. im walt disney.
If true, that’s pretty sad that his music has gotten bad enough it doesn’t stand alone as reasons to buy it.
50% more influential than mah dick
Kandashian a Coke head.
this dude is crazier than a cat lady. I’d say he’s on the verge of suicide, but he’s way to egotistical.
Yo ye u can’t go around calling people fake asses whilst your wife has a fake butt
…………..and tits…….and ass……and lips…………ALL of them are this way. Except for the mom who has a cottage cheese ass.
Somebody please punch this Kanye clown in the face!
the dude is straight up the worst rapper right now
You must be 12…
Kanye a little midget. Why was he even on SNL his music sux and he’s not from New York. Coming straight from a New Yorker.
Go back to your fucking hole in Calabasas you weak ass prejudice wanna be leprechaun
How is it that YE is the bigger attention seeking wh*re in his marriage?
yeah who would have expected that lol
kanyes music is trash now, his clothes are ugly as fuck and he is an arrogant ass hole I hope this dude falls off something hard and self implodes…
Homeless clothes for broke niggaz who want to pimp broke niggaz. Overcharge them, bit fuck em all.
but his wife is the fakest bitch alive
He’s gay and married a plastic woman. Then he had test tube babies (like so many other homosexual black celebrities), and Taylor is fake? He needs a psychiatrist. Not only is his music frikkin bad, his mind is gone too. I feel ashamed to be black every time I turn on my phone and see any of his crew there. God these muthafukaz suck.
Bruh, shut up you a white boy. Kanye may whine a lot, but he still a brotha that made it to the big leagues. That’s something we all want for one another. On another note, I’d bang Taylor Swift all day, black or white I don’t care lol.
She is one of the more unlikable pop stars
Hey Bruh, explain why KW can’t pull his F&$@ing pants up on SNL. An 8 year old or fish out of water could have performed better than him and his crew. Let me get my phone out with the auto tune app and I could sing just like KW. Man that takes talent!! Look at KW body language on the second song preformed. He moves to the side and you can tell he thinks the whole thing is a joke. On and off stage he proved SNL show didn’t mean anything to him. I hope he gets what he deserves one day! KW will go down as a joke in history
