Kanye West brought back the past he wanted all of us to forget.  The MTV Video Music Awards drama he caused with Taylor Swift is flashing before our eyes once again.

Kanye West Reveals Official H*A*M Cover Art & Audio

This time Kanye took to his Twitter to “take down” Britney Spears who is number one and he’s at number two.  He Tweeted,

“Yo Britney, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time!”

Then he immediately tweeted the same thing, adding an LOL at the end,

“Yo Britney, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time! LOL”

Brit’s manager responded,

“@kanyewest Thanks for “letting” us be #1. Much appreciated…. -Adam Leber, Manager”

About three hours later, after receiving a lot of heat for it, Kanye started backpedaling,

“On a serious note I’m truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears… No hate in 2011!”

He finished his “defense” with ,

“I thought LOL signified a joke… I didn’t get the 2011 LOL doesn’t signify a joke anymore memo… LOL or something else I guess”

Well Kanye, LOL works for everyone on the planet, EXCEPT for you.  Keep your I’mas to yourself.   Douche.
