In a move typical of the modest and understated Kanye West, he has deigned himself the new King Of Pop. The always demure and self-deprecating reluctantly stepped up to the position no one asked him to fill. He humbly states, "There's no one who can match me in sales and in respect (one assumes he means self-respect) so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael's crown and become the new King of Pop." He added, "First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it's Kanye's time to rule."
He then presumably ripped the King of Pop scepter from Michael's bony hands and waited for his procession to his grand, tacky castle. The coronation ceremony is yet to be announced.
This is awesome on multiple levels. First, it has Kanye referring to himself in third person, which is always the greatest sign of douchery. Second, it is more a military coupe than democratic decision, which is actually very typical of monarchy. Screw what the people think! King Henry Kanye iV answers to no one! Third, no offense to the massive talent Elvis and Michael possessed, would you really want to inherit that legacy? They didn't do so well, personal-life-wise.
Can't wait for the Shakespearean play praising his rise to power and his heroic decisions in battle. Unless it plays off more like Richard III.
UPDATE: This turned out to be fake interview. The throne is still up for grabs.

Kayne West, King Of Pop? Pfft.. Fck Off
Kanye is a Gay Fish, that's his title.
Uh, you guys do know the site you're quoting as a source for this story is a fake news site. The story is written as a joke you idiots. How about you check your source next time.
I like Kanye's music. Well... His rap, not into this auto-tune trash.
But he really needs to tone down the arrogance. Nobody likes arrogance this brash.
It's fine to be confident but humble people are the ones that last and maintain real respect.
Just look at Eminem, he's got everyone else saying he's the best, he never says it.
I thought Kanye had grew up, guess not.
Didn't he already claim to be influential and a voice of the generation or something? What's new? What I don't get is who actually listens to this guy.
What a douche.
There will NEVER be another King Of Pop. Michael Jackson is and always will be the King Of Pop..dead or alive. No one else can have that title ever. Just like Elvis is the King Of Rock and Roll and always will be. Kanye is ridiculous. I can't even believe he would say something like that. He just made himself look like an ass.
You guys fail, you got rolled by some satire site. lols
hey, kanye talks in the 3rd person. gotta like that.
If kanye is the king of pop, the world of pop is gon' get feudalized
Kanye's crap is pop now?
I loved 808s and Im anticipating his 4th rapping album (if he ever decides to release it), but for him to say hes the new king of pop is going over the edge. But I guess since he cant be the greatest rapper he has to go to pop.
"it is more a military coupe than democratic decision"
Someone has added a pinch too much salt to the sartorial soupe.
Mook mook. mok moook mokie
great, you got farked!! west is an idiot too!
It's a fake news site. It took me five seconds to Google "Kanye new king of pop" and figure out this wasn't real.
Will you guys be printing a correction, or are you just going to let this false info sit there?
Only like 40+ more Top 40 hits to go to even approach Michael :p
kanye west is a gay fish.
Maybe your Autotune is King of Pop, but you have no talent. What's next? Cancer proclaiming itself "King of the Body"?
So the report based from another source (that, turned out to be fake) is still posted up? Is it really a good idea to write from an unreliable source and leave the article up?
first kanye you cant sing or dance!! so i dont know why you would even compare your self to MICHAEL JACKSON the best Entertainer in the world! you will never ever be a michael jackson. you are not beautiful like MJ and your uglyy and cant dress! stop copying people! like reallly? MJ has sold over 750 million albums come on! you will never ever even be close to selling that much albums! you are lamee and disgusting! Michael jackson was a nice loving person! you are a racist ugly mean arrogant piece if crap!
Well, it's still pretty funny. I'm sure Kanye would have said it if he thought of it first.
read before you talk trash about someone. he didnt say that stuff but you make comments about him like he did thats classy
this is fake guys, why are commenting on this...
He's got my vote for King of Douche
its not a fake interview because if you watch the news! he was talking to a tv show called scrap. okayy? this is the second time i saw this. i dont see why your not suprise he would say this. he EVEN thinks he is JESUS!
Good, Kanye is the most talented artist of our generation and will no doubt have a longer and much more successful career than Mitchel Jackson
I think that it is a little too soon to be wanting to be king. I believe Kanye has what it takes though. I mean think about it. T-Pain is always on auto-tune. Sean Kingston is cool but he isn’t really the “greatest”. Chris Brown is despised my many(not myself) for destroying Rihanna. Ne-Yo really only has So sick as a song we all remember. Usher or Juatin Timberlake, I don’t even hear his songs on the radio anymore. And Flo rida steals all his beats. Kanye has songs like Stronger; Gold Digger; Can’t tell me nothin; Heartless; Flashin lights etc. And he has been featured in so many other songs. (Ex. Knock you down; American boy, etc.) Now I like all of the previously mentioned artist except Flo Rida, but Kanye is just statistically so much better. He produces his own songs, his own beats, and he gets a lot of sales. He has had and recently had number 1 hit songs. Sold out concerts and a lot of people like him. Most people who are gonna read this will not like the idea of stripping MJ of
Michael is the forever King of Pop, and I know the brother who Michael thought was the King of Rock….Jean Beauvoir, lead singer of Crown of Thorns. check him out, google him or the band. This is a true rock star who also worked with Kiss, Bon Jovi, Ramones, Springsteen, Lionel Richie and the list goes on. Its a shame no one in the US knows about him! This guy deserves a Crown, he's wearing one on his album cover!
When did Steve Urkel change his name to Kanye West?
I don't get why people get so huffy of kanye's comments. there's too stupid to get upset about and further more, he's actually is the best pop artists out there.
long live the king, kanye cant come close
doesnt matter whether he said it or not, he's still got my vote for biggest douche in the world
hi how a u
CHECK YOUR FACTS BEFORE YOU POST YOU FU ING A HOLES. YOU WONDER WHY CELEBRITIES HATE THE MEDIA. BECAUSE MOST ALL OF YOU ARE DUMB SH T!
There Is No Way Kanye Stupid West Could Beat MJ, Nobody Could!!! Nobody Can Dance Like MJ, No Can Be MJ. MJ Came Before Kanye. Michael Jackson Did Not Only Become Famous Just Because Of His Music, But Also Because Of His Legacy In Charities. Kanye Doesn't Do That, He Doesn't A Good Heart Like That. I'm Just Saying, There Is No Way That Kanye Could Be The New King Of Pop, There's Only One King Of Pop, & That His Michael Joe Jackson. Copied & But Never Duplicated.
I Don't Care What Anybody Says, Kanye Is A Piece Of Crap. You See, You Can Not Campare MJ & Kanye. Anybody In The Right Mind Would Know That There's No Way That Kanye Could Beat MJ. Kanye Doesn't Have The Best-Selling Album Of All Time, Michael Does, & Everybody Should Know It's Thriller, & It Even Has An Anniversary. He's More Into His Music Than Kanye. Michael Is Original, Kanye's Voice Is Autotuned, Michael's Is Original.
