Kanye West claimed today that he has a better looking butt than his wife Kim Kardashian. 
 
 In an interview this morning on Chicago rap station WGYN, the singer was asked about Kim's recent photoshoot for Paper magazine that highlighted her famous backside. His response revealed a clear annoyance about losing the spotlight to his media-savvy spouse. 
 
 “I don't understand why everyone is focusing on Kim’s booty.” he said. “Obviously I love her ass. That’s why I married her. But nobody has an ass like mine. I have one of the top three asses of all time. 
 
 "My booty is like Michelangelo level, you feel me? It's like a sculpture. It's like something that should be sitting in a museum for thousands of thousands of years. Kim? She's got a nice ass. But it's not at that level. 
 
 “The media hates me. That’s why they're ignoring my butt, and putting all their attention on Kim’s. It’s the only explanation that makes any sense.” 
 
 Shocked by West's apparent diss of his wife, host Matt Mitchell challenged his logic. 
 
 "Kanye, why does all the attention have to be on you?" he asked. "Don't you think you should be supportive of your wife's success?" 
 
 "Whatever. I guess," Kanye responded. "All I'm saying is that comparing my ass to Kim's ass is like comparing a Ferrari to a Mercedes. It's not like a Mercedes is a bad car. But it's no Ferrari." 
 
 A spokesperson for West declined to comment on the matter. Calls to Kardashian's publicist went unreturned. ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period.
– The New York Times, it seems, has fallen prey to fake news about one of the nation's most pressing issues: Kim Kardashian's rear end. In a humorous column reflecting on the dangers of a large backside—difficulty squeezing through tight spaces, for one—Joyce Wadler quoted Kanye West as saying his own butt is far better than his wife's, the Week reports. In fact, it's "like Michelangelo level," the quote said. Thing is, West never actually made that statement; it came from an article in the Onion-esque Daily Currant, which attributed it to an interview on a nonexistent Chicago radio station, WGYN. The Times has added a correction.
