Kanye West has a bone to pick with the media, which is nothing new. After his recent demands, which included making everyone stand up during his concert and wanting proof that people were indeed disabled, he’s calling himself a target.

During Monday night’s performance in Brisbane, Australia, West went on yet another rant:

What I want you to do is I want you to run the video everyone’s talking about where I so-called screamed at somebody and everything. I want you to run that, right, since this is such big media-press-news and everything that obviously they trying to demonize me for. It’s like, ‘Welcome to today’s news, ladies and gentlemen.’ We’ve got Americans getting killed on TV, kids getting killed every weekend in Chicago, unarmed people getting killed by police officers …

… It makes you just want to reflect on what are the things that are a little bit more sensationalized than others. … Because they’ve got this thing where they want the masses—people who’ve never heard my albums—to somehow read a headline that reads negative, and think that I’m a bad person or something. I’m not judging, I’m just going to tell you who I am. I’m a married, Christian man.

West also referred to the previous night’s fiasco as “bulls–t blown out of proportion.” But if it was such bulls–t then you’d think he’d still make the crowd rise to its feet, without exceptions, but he changed that request.
