Kanye is taking anger management classes
*Updated*
The title says it all.
After watching his most recent and more noteworthy meltdown at last month’s Bonnaroo, Kanye West’s management team has decided it might be best for the hip-hop MC to learn new ways of controlling his anger. According to both the Chicago Sun-Times and Rolling Stone, West will indeed begin taking anger management classes in the coming weeks.
A West insider tells me the entertainer’s own management team dreamed up the idea, for two reasons: to help his personal psychological well-being and relationship with friends — and to aid him in snaring lucrative endorsement deals…
On the personal front, the source says, “Not only has Kanye estranged himself from some pretty important people in the music business, but his temper has driven away a number of longtime friends.”
I suppose Kanye’s personal response to all his Bonnaroo critics didn’t end up helping his cause all that much?
Of course, last month’s incident wasn’t the first time the Chicago native caused a rather high-profile incident. During the 2006 edition of the MTV Video Music Awards, West stormed the stage upon losing the award for “Best Video.” The following year at the same event, he had a similar meltdown. And then there were the “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” comments.
All in all maybe this little downtime is good for Kanye? After all, he now has a bit more free time to get cracking on that CRS album.
Update: Mr. West has responded to the reports via his blog…
Do yall remember when people said my fiance was pregnant???? What happened to that rumor????? I guess after we broke up it was just forgot about???? I’m just using that as an example of how people make up stuff and everybody runs with it. I had my own family asking me about that. Now the media is saying I’m going to anger management something or ‘nother. I have never had any conversations about anger management. If anything, I need anger enhancement!! lol! I get off the plane in Hawaii today and the world is saying my management team said blah blah blah… SIIIIIIGGGHHHH! I told the media you can’t make up lies about me because I have a media outlet myself. Oh and sidebar I don’t know if everyone has realized this yet but I don’t do interviews if there’s anything I wanna say I’ll say right here on my own blog.
Check this out…I took a quote from my rant and used it as my headline.. just like a real media outlet would… hahaha
Is Kanye ever wrong?

“If anything, I need anger ENHANCEMENT.”
This made me laugh for ten minutes. I love Kanye.
Wow Kanye your a genius “Check this out…I took a quote from my rant and used it as my headline.. just like a real media outlet would… hahaha” could never have thought that up all on my own. I love Kanye but he’s way too self righteous.
