Kanye West blames Gmail hijack for bisexual porn hoax

Kanye West says someone has taken control of his Twitter. Not to mention his Gmail and MySpace accounts. The rap star says that someone is using all three services to spread false reports, including one that claimed he was open to launching a new career as a bisexual porn star. "Now somebody has been hacking into my MySpace …

And the problem is?

As long as this distracts him from his self proclamation of "being great" then thats fine by me!!

They take my gmail - when I'm in need

Yeah they're rifling through, myspace indeed

Oh they are skype diggers - way over town

That digs on me.....

[Pierre]

What's the bet?

What's the bet he used the same password on all services, and it was his birth date?

The guy is a Turd-Fancier

I'm glad they got him

>Paris as she should be his I.T. security

[Wyrmhole]

Pics or it didn't happen

The moron was so destroyed by all the haxoring that he posted a screenshot of it on his "blawg". :(

[J]

Eh?

Kanye West? Never heard of the guy (gal? went back to check article, says "he" and "him" and etc., so it's a he; until further developments). Who the fuck is Kanye West? Apparently he has an ego much greater than his notoriety. And no, I'm not even an old geezer listening to opera in 45 rpm vinyls.

Happiness. How nice.

Hmm, a familiar pattern emerges

Step 1: Idiot falls in love with the sound of their own words and ideas

Step 2: Idiot proceeds to spray this crap all over the Interwebs

Step 3: Interwebs self-defence mechanisms kick into action and highlight idiocy

Step 4: Idiot backtracks in a cloud of OH NOES, HAXXORS!!!1!

Step 5: ???

Step 6: Profit for record companies, downfall of humanity edges one step closer

Step 7: Who the fuck is Kanye West?

Aphasia, or general twistedness

Did anyone else read "The ten-time Grammy" as "the ten-time Tranny" on their first pass, or is it just me?

[Daniel Palmer]

Rich but uses GMail?

I would have thought any "celeb" would be investing in a some hosting for their shizzle. Apparently not.

[Anonymous Coward]

Busted!!

It can only be rival rapper 50 Cent, (or 36p as we call him over here), still bitter about losing the fake hiphop-off they had a few years ago!

But then he deserves it - Twitter isn't very "street", is it?

[kain preacher]

Who the fuck is Kanye West

Calling him arrogant is an understatement. Not sure there is a word for what he is in the English language. I knew he went off the deep end hen he said Obama should thank him. if ti was not for him Obama would not of been elected. He has also made statements that Bush hates black folks.

[Martin]

@Eh

Me neither - according the to the interwebytube thingy he is a popular beat musician of some notoriety

Although I don't see what this has to do with the delightful Ms. Hilton and so why it is within the remit of el' Reg?

Mail servers are down

Oh when my mail servers are down

I'm tellin you all my mail servers are down

Oh when my mail servers are down

I'm tellin you all my mail servers are down

Man I promise, I don't like the penis

I have no idea why they insist I'm so heinous

All I said was 'don't know how I'll get by'

And they took that to mean I wanna sleep with a guy

Please I beg you won't you gimme a break

You know all those messages posted were fake

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! Let me be great!

Why is cyberspace filled with such hate?

Man I'll admit that I was a bit curious

But your insinuations are leavin' me furious

I've had enough - I can't take no more

Cos when I access my blog all I get's 404

They even messed with my myspace account

And put up a post sayin' I'm comin out.

I really can't take it- the nightmare never ends

Cos they've added all the village people on as my friends

Oh when my mail servers are down

I'm tellin you all my mail servers are down

Man I promise, I don't like the penis

I have no idea why they insist I'm so heinous

All I said was 'don't know how I'll get by'

And they took that to mean I wanna sleep with a guy

(repeat)

Yes, I know it doesnt scan and some of the rhyming is decidedly ropey.. But then having just looked up one of KW's songs to parody the above actually seems an improvement. He actually rhymes 'insecure' on one line with 'secure' on the next. Genuis.

Give That Haxor A Friggin Medal

Couldn't have happened to a worse human being...

[Jonas Taylor]

I don't get it

Why the hell would a multi-millionaire being using a free email service like GMail? That strikes me as absurd. He'd be best using a paid for service, one that puts privacy and security first. Still, the cynic in me says it has got him loads of headlines.

[TeeCee]

@Martin

Actually no. According to the Interwebytube thingy he's a bisexual porn star which is, I believe, the nub of the issue here.

I guess that now he's denied that, he's just another gobshite nobody

[Roger Heathcote]

@James Greenhalgh

"(Am I doing it right?)"

Erm, really no.

Kanye's a posh kid and a supposedly devout Christian, you're just indulging in some light racist sterotyping (probably thinking of that idiot 50cent eh?) He's a terrible rapper but he used to be a half decent producer - decent enough to work with a few good ppl anyway (and some right dick holes too)

[Anonymous Coward]

Don't hack me, bro!

Message ends.

[Vladimir Plouzhnikov]

What made him think...

...that someone actually cares whether he's gay or not?

[Peter Page]

@J. Old geezers like me listen to opera in...

...33⅓ R.P.M. Older geezers: 78 R.P.M.

But I had at least heard of Kanye West. It must be because I am a hip cat with my ear to the ground, daddio.

[Anonymous Coward]

@Eh?

Same here.

Ah well, having found out who he is, no great loss there.

RE: Busted!

It's all just a pathetic attempt to stir up more publicity. I have to ask: "Kanye no just feck off?"

According to the link previously supplied by another AC, Kanye said: "There's no-one in rap history for talking more s*%t than me and 50. That's something I will stand on."

1, OK, that doesn't make sense... so talking shit already.

2, He can stand on whatever kind of shit he likes, that's of no bearing to the shit he records and which his record company punt onto the gullible. Maybe the shit he stands on inspires him in some way?

3, Anyone would think that he would be pleased now that someone has appeared who is talking shit on his behalf. No-one in rap history has ever talked as much shit as him and 50p, remember? For starters, he'll get a break from having to be a complete arsefaced tosser all the time.

[daryl smith]

why be boring?

Why not actually confound his haxor - critic / public and BECOME that bi-pron star?

He would certainly strike a blow for open thinking and confuse the heck out of the people wot said it 'for him.'

pity he doesn't have 'teh bawlz' to actually do it.

I would respect him if he did, nevemind that I've never listened to his rapnifying

[Anonymous Coward]

Who the f*ck...

Is Kanye West - and why should we shiv a git?

[Anonymous Coward]

Wait,...

...If Mister Major Rapper and his pal 36 pee come over here, theyre gits, so should i shiv 'em, AC?

PUUULLLEEEEEEZZZEEEEE??
