I remember reading an article about this subject, but I can't remember if I was directed to that article through SFO members. Anyway, I remember reading Kanye's defence against that accusation, saying he did NOT crown himself as the new "King of Pop", but simply the interviewer misunderstood him. Kanye also posted on his Blog, at
http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com, that it will be the last time the public will hear him trying to defend himself.
At the moment, I'm going through his Blog looking for his reponse.
