Nov 12 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Kanye West has gone to his Twitter account to announce to his followers that he will not be performing on the ‘Today Show’ on ‘NBC’ because of his disdain for Matt Lauer, the co-host of the show with which he recently did an interview that he was very unhappy with, according to ‘MSNBC’.
In the wake of the interview, which can be seen here , Kanye Tweeted this morning, “I’m not performing on the Today Show for obvious reasons. I’m so happy the world got to see just a small piece of ‘the set up.’…I blatantly said I’m not performing on a tweet and to everyone around me and the next day they still announced a performance….Do you guys see what I’m saying now?”
It was actually no surprise that West backed out of the performance, after he had already stated his displeasure with the interviewing techniques which Lauer used, but the rapper swears he does not hate the ‘Today Show’ co-host. He added to his Twitter feed, “I don’t hate Matt Lauer,” he added on Twitter today. “We don’t promote hate. That’s the whole point!!! I promote love and truth!…All positive energy … all smiles. Much love to Matt and the whole Today Show. I accept ya’ll future apology in advance LOL!”
