We totally saw this coming…

In today’s “non-surprising” Kanye West news, the rapper (currently in Abu Dhabi for a performance later tonight) has officially dropped plans to perform later this month on the “Today” show! It’s no secret that ‘Ye  and Matt Lauer & Co. haven’t seen eye to eye lately with Kanye accusing them of basically “setting him up” and all during a recent interview. But now, he’s made it official by canceling his November 26th performance on the show in another one of his long, somewhat thought-provoking (and at times funny) Twitter rants.

Check it out below!

I’m not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I’m so happy the world got to see just a small piece of “the set up.” I blatantly said I’m not performing on a tweet and to everyone around me and the next day they still announced a performance. Do you guys see what I’m saying now… this is just a small slice of the day to day bullshit that goes on that helps to precipitate… the idea that I such an asshole…. cause when I don’t perform oh noooow I’m the one that’s crazy or a jerk!

If I hadn’t tweeted about how they set me up at the show they would have never played the extra footage that displayed how disrespectful… I want you guys to look at that footage and start to put everything together now. It’s very simple to call someone angry or spoiled or… the one thousand names I’ve been called but it’s harder to try to take a look at what’s really behind the curtain. I’m so happy that my real fans are not as “basic” as the media makes them out to be… Did you see them try to justify playing the audio… under my interview. Yo sometimes you’re just wrong and it ain’t nothing you can say to justify it believe me I know!

Right now I’m not complaining. I’m tweeting because I’m so happy you guys got to see this sh*t really go down!!!!! : ))))))!!!! FINALLY!!! …And I don’t hate Matt Lauer… We don’t promote hate. That’s the whole point!!! I promote love and truth! … we’re all products or our environments … reflections of our surroundings…

You know what ….WE OFF THAT!!!… They made a mistake… they thought they could pull it but they couldn’t! That was just a small …representation of a bigger media play that’s been going on since the beginning of time. All positive energy … all smiles. Much love to Matt and the whole Today Show. I accept ya’ll future apology in advance LOL!

I’m in Dubai BTW… Bout to rip down this Abu Dhabi stage later tonight!!!

Guess he told them! We’re still ROTFL @ “I accept ya’ll future apology in advance” … that damn Kanye! SMH… Gotta love him!

    Well, that just too bad Kanye, Did you expect that the lousy treatment you provided to Taylor Swift in front of millions of viewers would be swept under the rug????????

    Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again. (Youre not 1/10th as important as you think you are.)

    I would not have gone on the Show – No apology was necessary to Bush or deserved . NBC Leadership and Bush are Buddies. There was no Comparison going on the stage and saying the truth at the awards and being a little intoxicated although it wasn’t professional – And stating what it looked liked as Bush flew over New Orleans flood and looked down at the suffering people.
    It looked like Bush was a racist to a lot of people not just West.

    Black people have enough to contend with in ordinary life – to give this station network ratings
    I applaud canceling your appearance on the Today Show
    Remember the Dixie Chicks and that Achor I think it was Dan Rather? NBC needs to have them on the Show interview them. Tell their stories — America haven’t forgotten Bush’s Revenge– No one is saying –( He Lied) which he did about Weapons of mass destruction.The Blood of all those soldiers who have died is on his hands.
    The shoes that were thrown at him may have well been deserved. He made a mess of this country and now they want to act like it’s Obama fault.

    RACISM IS ALIVE AND WELL and until our people who have money begin to address and educate our on people and put our resources toward positive things here in the US we will continue to experience these black balling modern day lynching I know all about them.
