Kanye Fires Back at Mencia
July 2nd, 2007
Carlos Mencia slapped Kanye West with the humiliating label of ‘Theo Huxtable’ and Kanye did not like that one bit. So what does a rapper do? Fire back of course!
Mencia did a hilarious spoof of ‘Gold Digger’ on his Comedy Central show. He skewered Kanye for downplaying his suburban, upper-middle-class upbringing (his mother was an English professor while his father was a well-paid photographer).
Kanye responds to it with his latest single ‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’. The lyrics of the single renounces any connection to the Huxtables by rapping ‘I ain’t one of the Cosbys, I ain’t go to Hillman’. That line refers to the college that one of the Huxtable children attended in the series.
In true comedy fashion, don’t expect Mencia to not fire back.
