Kanye West

Kanye West compared himself to Picasso and Walt Disney in a foul mouthed rant.

The 'All of the Lights' hitmaker - who caused waves by slamming Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift at his gig in London over the weekend - launched into another expletive-laden diatribe last night (26.02.13), referring to himself as a musical equivalent to creative geniuses like Picasso, Walt Disney and Steve Jobs.

The 35-year-old rapper told the crowd at his Paris concert: "There's no motherf***ing awards or sponsorships or none of that s**t that can stop the dedication to bringing y'all that real s***.

"No matter how they try to control you, or the motherf***er next to you tries to peer pressure you, you can do what you motherf***ing want. I am Picasso. I'm Walt Disney, I'm Steve Jobs."

Kanye - who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Kim Kardashian - hit out at 'Suit & Tie' singer Justin Timberlake, who collaborated with his 'Watch the Throne' partner Jay-Z on the track, during his intimate gig at London's Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday (02.23.13).

He told the crowd: "I've got love for Hov but I'm not down with that suit and tie s**t."

The 'No Church in the Wild' star also out at the Grammy Awards and Taylor Swift, who he infamously interrupted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

He ranted: "Taylor Swift beat Beyonce at the Grammys? Beyonce be dancing in heels and s**t.

"We need the music business to be evened out and fair. I've never won a Grammy against a white artist. I'm motherf***ing Kanye West, we can create a human utopia if we try."
