The rapper laments to Jimmy Kimmel about his frustrations with the press.
Let this be a lesson to our dueling government: Kanye West and Jimmy Kimmel have made peace.After a Twitter war resulting from a
sketch mocking West, the rapper appeared on Kimmel's show Wednesday night.
West, per The Hollywood Reporter, said he'd been frustrated with the press in general: "Every person who feels it's OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals."
Plus, he added, modesty isn't an issue for him. "I'm a creative genius, and there's no other way to word it. I know you're not supposed to say that about yourself. I say things the wrong way a lot of times, but the intention is always positive."
But he can be, well, misunderstood.
"A lot of people think you are a jerk. I often in my own personal conversations say, 'No. I know this guy. He is not a jerk,' " Kimmel said.
As for West: "I'm totally weird. I'm totally honest and I'm totally inappropriate sometimes. For me to say I wasn't a genius — I would just be lying to you and to myself," he said.
But here's the thing: It's tough to buy his complaints about invasion of privacy when his girlfriend Kim Kardashian posts pictures of their baby daughter on Instagram.
Speaking of Kardashian, she and North were there to support West, reports E!.
