In the interview Kanye revealed his opinions on everything from Lady Gaga to his opinion of himself as 'a God'.
The spoof infuriated West, who apparently took the comedy bit as an attack. He then took to Twitter to defend himself.

'Jimmy Kimmel is out of line to try and spoof in any way the piece of honest media in years,' wrote West on Thursday afternoon.

'Jimmy Kimmel, I don't take it as a joke...you don't have scum bags hopping over fences trying to take pictures of your daughter.'

'apparently @KanyeWest is VERY VERY ANGRY with me....,' responded Kimmel.

'You can't put yourself in my shoes. Your face looks crazy... Is that funny?... Or if I had a kid say it would it be funny???,' tweeted West.

And while Kanye's anger was certainly genuine, it was welcomed by Kimmel.

He later used the spat as material on Thursday night's show, reading out Kanye's tweets and joking: 'I don't understand it. I don't know why he's angry.

'But finally I'm in a rap feud! Right now we are at Death Kanye Five.'

Empty promises: 'I swear, @kanyewest one more of these I WILL unfollow you #warning #Goshdarnit,' warned Kimmel on Twitter

In response to the Twitter attack, Josh Groban decided to pipe in an offer a comedic look at the situation with a skit titled 'Josh Groban's the Best Tweets of Kanya West.'

In the bit, Groban uses his golden throat to sing classic West tweets such as 'Can we please toast to the m****rf******g douchebags' and 'Fur pillows are actually hard to sleep on.'

Kimmel made the following promise to his followers: 'I'll tell you the whole story about @kanyewest tonight on the show - this is not a prank, I promise (unless it's being played on me).'
