Kanye: I'm The Number One Rock Star On The Planet

Kanye West has declared that he considers himself the "number one rock star on the planet".

The rapper made his bold claim during an interview with Radio 1 presenterZane Lowe, which will be broadcast on Monday evening.

And he also said that his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy "could be considered perfect".

He told Lowe: "I know how to make perfect, but that's not what I'm here to do."

And, according to Digital Spy, he went on to predict that his interview would alienate some listeners.

"People are gonna look at this interview and say, 'I understand what he's talking about'. People are gonna look at this interview and say, 'I don't like Kanye. Look, he looks mad, I don't like his teeth'."

Kanye was in the news earlier this week when it was claimed that he insisted on having his dressing room carpet ironed when he appeared on Later With Jools Holland.

The BBC later denied the story.

He has been spotted out for a romantic dinner with Kim Kardashian in Beverly Hills.
