Kanye Denies Anger Management Claim

Another week, another Kanye controversy. Last week, Bill Zwecker reported Mr. West would be attending anger management classes to reassure several corporations who were interested yet hesitant to extend to him endorsement deals. The trouble stemmed from Kanye's recent blog outburst regarding the criticism he faced for his much-maligned Bonnaroo show.
Kanye's reaction to Zwecker's report: Nuh-uh. In a new blog entry, Kanye denied the reports and the fact that he needs any kind of anger management.
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.
In spite of the seemingly constant backlash against Kanye, we can't help but note the guy is maintaining a sense of humor about this. In regards to the blog post's title, "NO ANGER MANAGEMENT... IF ANYTHING I NEED ANGER ENHANCEMENT! LOL!!!," Kanye said, "Check this out...I took a quote from my rant and used it as my headline.. just like a real media outlet would... hahaha." Say what you will about Kanye; he's always entertained us.
