This is another source that gets you thinking if Kanye has gone too far yet again.

This article was published by Claire Rutter and Rebecca Merriman on Febuary 15th, the day of Kanyes tweet.

This is a 2016 article that talks about how Kanye threatened to boycott the Grammys if he did not win Album of the year. On February 14th (two days before the Grammys) Kanye posted a tweet saying "Im practicing my Grammy Speech. I'm not going to the Grammys unless they promise me Album of the Year!!!" The ironic thing was that Kanye wasn't even nominated for the award. 

You have to give in the fact that this album also was released one day before The Grammys. The 58th Grammys award show had only recognized music between Oct 2014-September 2015 therefore Kanye's album was six months too late. Because Kanye has such a huge ego he seems to thinks he is entitled for winning any award he can find. Because he thinks he's so great he thinks the Grammys might consider to change their time frame to adjust to his needs. Kanye seems to be challenging something bigger than himself. It seems to him that he's the only one making good music in this world as if the entire industry revolves around him.

This article relates/connects to the post "Kanye and Twitter" and the post "Even his own friend thinks hes gone mad" because they are all events which Kanye show what his ego is like on social media. I choose this article for the blog because it was another example where Kanye displays his egotistic figure. The main reasoning of choosing this article is to help the viewers determine/conclude whether Kanye and his ego has gone too far or not.
