Kanye West went on “The Today Show”, which airs today, to discuss his past mistakes, when host Matt Lauer brought up his comment from 2005 about George Bush.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Kanye said, “George Bush doesn’t like black people.”

During his interview, they rolled the MTV footage, which sparked a fire in Kanye’s eyes. In this day of social media, Kanye fired back on Twitter. He wanted to make amends for the comment, because years later, he said he was also labeled as a racist.

He tweeted:

I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled as a racist…. While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the “MTV” under me with audio!!!!!!! I don’t mess with Matt Lauer or the Today Show … and that’s a very nice way for me to put it! HE TRIED TO FORCE MY ANSWERS. IT WAS VERY BRUTAL AND I CAME THERE WITH ONLY POSITIVE INTENT.”

Here’s the rest of his rant:

Do you think if Michael Jackson were still around, that he’d been on Twitter?
