Kanye West may have made a lot of boasts in his career, but claiming to be the new King of Pop following the death of Michael Jackson is not one of them.
The superstar rapper hit his official Web site to shoot down rumors that he's taking the title from the late Michael Jackson.
"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."
Kanye also blogged that it upsets him that people would think he would make such a statement following Michael's death.
