Kanye West Befriends Coventry Tweeter

The US rapper only joined the social networking site on July 28 but has already gathered a huge following and prolifically tweeted 172 times. Within the first day, West proudly wrote: I got 90,000 followers in 8 hrs!!! Thank you everybody."

But despite fans flocking to follow him, West has decided to only befriend Holmes. Upon seeing that the hip hop star had started following him, Holmes tweeted to West: "Holy s*** bro thx for following!" West replied: "You are the chosen one dun dun dun dun."

He gave no other clues as to why he had chosen the unknown tweeter whose user name is ste*#%&.

"I feel pressure to say amusing and witty tweets now @kanyewest is following," Holmes commented.
Since West befriended him, Holmes has quickly picked up more than 1,600 followers. The man from Coventry keeps them up to date with insightful thoughts such as: "Drinking coffee at 2 in the morning isn't a good idea."

On Sunday he wrote: "Feeling hungover and I wasn't even drunk last night. How does that work?"

He recently informed his followers that he was listening to "guns and horses - Ellie Goulding".

Holmes is following 477 people, including celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Emma Bunton and Stephen Fry.

He often tweets to his famous followers, confessing to Lily Allen, "I love you".

West's sudden interest in Twitter coincides with the launch of his new album.

The rapper has kept out of the public eye since interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Awards in September. He jumped on stage and grabbed the microphone from the country singer and told her Beyonce should have won instead.West later apologised on The Jay Leno Show and said he would take some time off. Now is he well and truly back in the spotlight and on a publicity drive.He recently visited the headquarters of Facebook, Twitter and Rolling Stone.

That's actually the coolest thing he's done in a minute. He's made some very good music but his personality had become unbearable. If he's going to go all weird, hopefully it results in shit like this instead of a massive egotrippin trance rap.

Whatever you think of his rapping/albums there is no real debate over the beats he made between 00-04. Like most superstar rappers, his commercial prime came far after his artistic one (Wayne, Eminem, Jay-Z, pretty much every mainstream rap star ever) but the fact that he's now an annoying twat shouldn't take away from his earlier work.

Yeah, Kanye's at least making an effort to pull his public image together, but let's see how well he does at the mtv music awards 2010. He still has plenty of opportunity to show his true colors. It's almost like everyone expects him to make a fool of himself now.

Kanye only followed him so that he has at least one person on his twitter who has a jawline more fucked up than his own.

:z:

i quite like a lot of his songs. Think he has good subject material, not an amazing rapper but better then a lot of the crap out there these days. yeah maybe hes got an ego, but again in comparison to most other rap stars its not that bad.

winner :lol: :lol:

Kanye started with a good album and has gotten worse and worse with each release. he went from a guy kind of deconstructing fame and materialism and just became a fame-hungry materialist.

I only listened to his first album.... liked a few of the later singles, but had on the whole stopped listening to mainstream music by that point. fairplay.
