Kanye West has said that he was amused by a recent episode of 'South Park' that portrayed him as an egomaniac, saying on his blog that it was "pretty funny" and adding: "I actually have been working on my ego... I'm not actually a huge douche".
West is, of course, fairly notorious for his bigheadedry. He vowed never to return to the MTV Awards in 2007 because he didn't get any gongs, and has recently said that he regrets not being able to see himself perform live. That said, he has also recently apologised for some of his past ego-driven drama-queen moments.
With that in mind, he took to his blog the day after his original 'South Park' remarks to stress his attempts to control his ego had not been inspired by the cartoon, even though I'm not sure anyone thought they had, but whatever. He wrote: "The 'South Park' episode did not make me have this ego epiphany! I actually only watched a piece of the episode, which was funny. I've been working on myself for a while now, which is hard to do in the public eye. I just used as a platform to express where my head is at".
