As is now traditional, Kanye has shot his mouth off about the most recent award show he was involved with (in this case, the Brits), and anyone else who he happens to feel has slighted him on a given day.

Fresh from stealing the Brits last week and embarking on a critically-acclaimed live tour, the oh-so-sensitive Kanye warmed up with some gentle complaining about the event's organisers.

"So I get up on stage and do my acceptance speech, thanking all the people that have been there for me from the beginning. Then I watch it on the television and they cut the whole thing!" he told the crowd at his Hammersmith show.

Aware that by his own standards this is pretty tame and that his fans expect more, he turned his sights to the next subject on his Don't Get Me Started list.

"You sit down with these f**king journalists... and the second you say what you think, they use it against you. I say 'yeah, I like porn', then it's all: 'Kanye West: Sex Addict...'"

Kanye at least appears to be beginning to realise how little a man in his position needs to be defensive, concluding that: "Hey, all these people are actually cheering."

"Before I ped the second record, I thought the media had made you hate me. But the fact that this show is sold-out for three nights tells me that that's not how it is."
