No, it’s not snakes on the MF plane, it’s Kanye West. He’s denying rumors he whacked out on a recent flight. Interesting to note is that his explanation is NOT IN ALL CAPS. (Does that mean it’s ghostwritten? Has he finally bought a new working keyboard? And what did happen to the old one? The world awaits the answers, Kanye. Perhaps they’ll appear on the new Kanye West album this year. ) In any case, the blog post also has a weird picture of luggage. His luggage? Not sure. There’s a picture, however, so be aware.

24hourhiphop recently wondered on their website if Kanye West not getting any Grammy Nods was because of his music or because of his altercation (IN ALL CAPS) with Taylor Swift at the VMAs. Will that follow him forever now? From college dropout to graduated to MC Hammer?

Kanye West Green Winner

Okay, maybe not that far. He has a lot going for him still. Maybe the next album will help people forget about what he does in public. Back to the issue of the grammys – what do you think? Why do you think he wasn’t nominated?

It doesn’t really matter to him, I suppose. He’s alive, rich, and partying with Beyonce and Jay Z, so life can’t be all that bad for him, ya know?

What do you think? Should Kanye West at least be nominated for a Grammy? Why or why not? Leave a comment below and let us know.

Despite what you may have read online, Kanye West did not die in a car accident on Tuesday. The rapper is just the latest celebrity to be bitten by fake death rumors, which rapidly spread on Twitter.

At press time, it was unknown where the rumor started, but some were pointing to the image board 4chan.org as the origin of the phony report that West had died in a crash involving two custom cars in Los Angeles. It quickly blossomed into e-mail chains and comment threads on Facebook and Twitter.

Good wrap-up via MTV…

MTV Checks Kanye's Pulse

According to our sources…

Users searching for more info on the fictitious fatality are liable to get redirected to sites distributing scareware, security researchers warn. The rumour itself reportedly originated on notorious image board 4chan, the seeding ground for the Anonymous campaign against Scientology

So 4chan was behind it… but so was money.

What have you heard?

Mashable Blames 4chan, retracts

Although reported (and in Google News) a Mashable Post is now missing in action. According to our sources, we don’t know what happened. The post allegedly said 4chan was behind the prank that has tapped Twitter (hard.)

Stay tuned for more.

Oh, and here’s an older post about Twitter and Kanye West. They seem to have quite a history.

I’m reading now that there was scareware involved – it may have been all to make money? I guess I looked bad buying ads for this site?

According to our sources … we’re still not entirely sure what’s going on.

They’re in Google News – They have a pretty official looking story about Kanye West. (Love the name of the newspaper…)

I’m not sure if this part was mangled in the translation somehow, but…

Twitter is the devil. We should have listened to Kris Allen before we were all swallowed up in it.

Kanye West is alive.

Will there be a Jihad against Twitter? And what in the world does kirstie alley have to do with it?

According to our sources … nothing. We (kinda) report. You decide (and blog.)

Tweet….

In other Kanye News, Necole Bitchie reports on the whole Kanye West is Not Dead incident that is still continuing.

We may interrupt this blog post with a special message from Taylor Swift. Probably not, but it might be happen. I want you to be ready if it does happen.

Ok … wait for it… and no, it’s not gonna happen. So back to Kanye and the Twitterumors (did i just make up a new word?) … There was a pretty good write-up on all things Kanye West circa October 20, 2009.

An LAPD officer “reportedly” witnessed the wreck and saw a red Ferrari and a white Porsche “spinning out of control. The Ferrari (driven by West) hit the curb and then collided with a pole while the Porsche sped away.” Two people were supposedly arrested and detained by police.

You might as well go read the whole thing. It’s not like you have anything better to do. I mean, you’re here reading this blog aren’t you?

Geez.
