It’s one thing to read the mess that runs through Kanye West’s creative mind, but to hear it is a different story.

“The Life Of Pablo” artist got caught on tape ranting about, well, everything.

In the leaked audio, you can hear Yeezy yell “Don’t f— with me.”

The uncensored audio continued: “Look at that shit, they took my f—in’ stage off of SNL without asking me. Now I’m bummed. That and Taylor Swift’s fake ass,” he yelled.

After the tape was released, Kanye’s camp released this official statement to Complex:

“He did not yell at ‘SNL’ staff. This audio was secretly recorded while he was venting his frustration in a private moment with his team. He found out his stage design was changed and taken apart under the direction of the show’s lighting director without anyone’s approval. He had spent an entire day rehearsing and a lot of hard work went into the performance. Dramatic set changes were made 30 minutes before going live. It should be understandable why he was upset after being completely blindsided.”

So basically, he’s an artist, and he’s sensitive about his sh*t (Badu voice).
