Kanye West, Jimmy Kimmel Make Peace After Twitter War, Have Bromance- But Kanye Feels "Like A Zoo Animal", [VIDEO]

Jimmy Kimmel and Kanye West have made peace after an intense Twitter war.

Kanye and Kimmel battled it out on Twitter recently, but ended their feud on Jimmy Kimmel Live, which saw them not just making up but talking about, like, real stuff. The two “engaged in a surprisingly sincere, long discussion about the pressures of celebrity.
At times both of their voices trembled as they discussed a feud that began after Kimmel debuted a sketch on his show in which children re-enacted an interview West gave to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe. West responded to the sketch by going on a Twitter rant against Kimmel on Sept. 26 and calling him to demand a public apology,” The Hollywood Reporter said.
The segment went on so long that the show’s musical guest, Arctic Monkeys, were bumped.
Kimmel said the feud wasn’t so much at Kimmel but at tabloid reporters at illustrious papers of record such as Kpopstarz.com.
He doesn’t know members of press, but knows Kimmel and had been friendly with him. And that stung.
"This is the one person I know, so I can go and let out everything that I feel about every single bogus Weekly cover. Every single bogus skit ... Every person who feels it's OK to treat celebrities like zoo animals," West said.
West said the feud wasn’t a publicity stunt.
"I've never done a publicity stunt in my life," West told Kimmel. “I don't follow rules of, like, normal celebrity. I don't do publicity stunts period.”
"I think some people read into it differently – that we were positioning you as a child, which was not the case," Kimmel said.

Kimmel wondered if West brings some of the backlash on himself.
"A lot of people think you are a jerk. I often in my own personal conversations say, 'No. I know this guy. He is not a jerk,'" Kimmel said.
Still, West continued to let his ego show, calling himself “a creative genius”.
Uhhh.
Kimmel said that it was “a weird thing to say”, but more honest than those who think they’re geniuses and won’t say it.
"I'm totally weird. I'm totally honest and I'm totally inappropriate sometimes. For me to say I wasn't a genius -- I would just be lying to you and to myself," West replied.

He also said, "When people hear my music, they have a good time. And I should be respected as such when I walk down the street," West said, his voice rising. "Don't ask me a question about something you saw in the tabloids. Don't try to antagonize me. Because you know what -- it's not safe for you in this zoo."

So. Zoo animal or creative genius or both- what do you think?
