Sorry for all those caps, I couldn’t resist the urge to throw a few superfluous CAPS and punctuation marks up there… in order to announce that Kanye West has officially joined Twitter. The reason I’m bothering to point this out, is West has been the victim of quite a number of imposter accounts over the years; people who’ve broken fake news and spread rumours using accounts that weren’t even affiliated with him. West had grown so annoyed, with being asked about Twitter all the time (he’s an enthusiastic CAPS-blogger, so it was a logical question to be honest), that he pretty much said Twitter was stupid and that he’d never join. I guess he realised what a great tool it is, as he’s taken over the @KanyeWest Twitter user name (in a similar way to Angelina Jolie with her username).
In May 2009, West said that there was no reason for him to use Twitter… he was too busy to use it… there were too many fakes that annoyed him… etc..
But, this is real (and Verified), as he announced on the Kanye University blog.
The Kanye West Twitter at Twitter.com/KanyeWest has been open for 10 hours and has already got nearly 175,000 followers. He’s listed 2,200 times. He’s not following anyone as yet. He’s been tweeting enthusiastically and says he wishes he’d started tweeting sooner. He’s already shared the news that his album is being re-named; per the screen cap, it’s no longer called God Ass Job. Which is great, as I don’t need to know how good his ass-jobs are. One thing: someone needs to teach him how to @ people. He’s tweeting a bunch of links about different blogs and accidentally @ing random people by not typing out names in the correct way (I think he’s yet to realise what a mis-step that is).
In the gallery are his first ever Tweet photos, of a jet he was about to fly on.
