Ye hit his Official Website in full Bitch Mode on Friday afternoon to shoot down rumors that he’s taking the title from the late icon.

“I was just listening to [radio host] Wendy Williams and heard some quote about me saying I’m the new King of Pop,” he wrote. “Not only did I not say that, I haven’t said anything.”

“It makes me feel bad that obviously I made people feel that I would be corny enough to say something so whack after the passing of an idol, a legend and more than that a human being with feelings and a family,” Kanye went on.

“It scares me to think what people will believe, without even a source,” he continued. “Any random person can type something on the Internet and then the world believes it. I don’t talk to press or do TV or do promotions of any sort. I’ve stopped chasing and buying into fame. Fame is like cigarettes with no surgeon general warning. It destroys most people as it did to the true and only King of Pop. We exploit ourselves and eat our own egos ‘Till there is nothing left.”

Before wrapping up his statement, the “Heartless” hitmaker vowed that he will no longer address the rumors floating around about him on the interwebs

“I have a feeling that this won’t be the last false statement with my name on it, but this will be the last time I defend myself. I’m done.”
