"Kanye West needs to clear the air.\r\nSince the Grammy-winning rapper, 34, was snapped out and about in NYC two weekends ago with Kim Kardashian, much has been said about his relationship with the reality star, 31.\r\n&amp;quot;...of course there are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding this past couple of weeks, especially the &amp;apos;She&amp;apos;s my Beyonce&amp;apos; quote. I would never compare anyone to my friend&amp;apos;s wife,&amp;quot; West tells Us Weekly exclusively.\r\n\r\n(After a source told Us that the rapper &amp;quot;thinks [Kim] is his Beyonce,&amp;quot; a subsequent Saturday Night Live sketch April 14 riffed off that quote, putting the words directly in West&amp;apos;s mouth.)\r\n&amp;quot;Come on now, that doesn&amp;apos;t even sound like me,&amp;quot; says West, who is a longtime pal and collaborator of Beyonce&amp;apos;s husband Jay-Z. &amp;quot;If I don&amp;apos;t say something in a rap or on Twitter, it&amp;apos;s not true,&amp;quot; the &amp;quot;Otis&amp;quot; rapper tells Us.\r\n\r\nWest and Kardashian were photographed together in NYC April 5 -- where they grabbed lunch at Serafina&amp;apos;s, shopped at FAO Schwarz and luxe department store Jeffrey&amp;apos;s, among other excursions.\r\n\r\nThe rapper seemed to reference Kardashian in his new song &amp;quot;Way Too Cold,&amp;quot; (originally entitled &amp;quot;Theraflu&amp;quot;). Rapping about ex-girlfriend Amber Rose&amp;apos;s relationship with fiance Wiz Khalifa, West says, &amp;quot;I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him.&amp;quot;\r\nIndeed, a pal tells Us that West &amp;quot;has been genuinely head over heels for [Kim] for a while.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
