Since Kanye West isn’t going to rehab until January (Kanye: “Sure I’ll go to rehab, but let me do it next year. I’ve got a lot of drinking planned over the holidays”), he has a few months to continue being a colossal asshole. It’s not his fault! Blame it on the booze! Which reminds us, we need to get working on a mashup of Kanye’s “Ego” and “Blame It (on the Alcohol).” Anyway, this weekend the alcohol made Kanye act like a dick backstage at a charity concert hosted by Common when other people had chicken and he didn’t. Awww. Poor chicken-less baby. Says Vibe:
The rapper was allegedly upset over his not being offered food while in the dressing room backstage. After spotting a man eating chicken, West blurted, “Why wasn’t I offered chicken? You want me to perform for free, [and] everyone is eating… why am I not eating?”
When the waitress explained that he never asked for food, ‘Ye yelled, “Well, I’m asking now!” After receiving chicken, he allegedly proceeded to take a bite and then throw the rest in the trash.
As far as celebrity demands go, that’s nothing compared to pros like Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. If Kanye really wants to show us his power, he should demand a rare species of squab that only lives in the Maldives and tastes best when braised with a pound of the best saffron. That’s how a real celebrity makes a demand.
