Kanye West can’t take a joke.
The “Yeezus” rapper launched a Twitter war with Jimmy Kimmel Thursday night, venting over the late-night host poking fun at him for boasting of being the No. 1 rock star on the planet in a BBC interview.
“Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the first piece of honest media in years,” West tweeted in capital letters. “I don’t take it as a joke ... You don’t have scum bags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter. Jimmy Kimmel, put yourself in my shoes.”
The Twitter explosion came a day after a skit on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” featured two bratty kids reenacting his BBC Radio 1 interview.
In the real interview, West, 36, said rappers are the new rock stars “and I’m the biggest of them all.” He also said he’s gotten to a “point that Michael Jackson did not break.”

Jimmy Kimmel threatened to unfollow Kanye West if he didn't stop his Twitter attacks.
Besides insulting Kimmel’s looks, Kim Kardashian's beau delivered a low blow comparing Kimmel to ex-girlfriend Sarah Silverman.
“SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS IT!!!” West tweeted.
Kimmel tweeted back: “one more of these I WILL unfollow you.”
The funnyman addressed the social media attack on his show Thursday night in his opening monologue.
