Plus he praises 'big bro' Jay-Z's set
Kanye West has responded to Amy Winehouse's derogatory comments about him during her set at Glastonbury last weekend when she called him a \"cunt\".
News of the onstage outburst filtered back to West - his friend and mentor Jay-Z was playing immediately afterwards - who responded via his website.
"This just in... Amy Winehouse hates me!!!" he wrote. "Now I've really made it!!!" LOL!!!"
As previously reported, Winehouse said "Let's hear it for Jay-Z. The man has got bollocks to come here, and play the tunes you don't even know you remember. Imagine if it was a cunt like Kanye West. 'Cunts Like Kanye' - that should be his next album title."
West also used his blog to praise Jay-Z's Glastonbury set, declaring: "My big bro killed that Glastonbury shit. Shut down the haters - hip-hop is alive!"
