Kanye West throws strop on Jonathan Ross show and refuses to speak to host
The controversial rapper laid down on the floor in the studio and refused to sit with other guests backstage
If Kanye doesn't want to do something, then Kanye won't do it...
It's been quite the week for rapper Kanye West.
The 37-year-old star broke down in tears during an emotional interview with Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe yesterday.
And now it's also emerged that he threw a strop on The Jonathan Ross Show, which is due to air on Saturday.
On Tuesday the rapper performed Only One at a pre-record for the show and was also supposed to have an interview with the presenter.
But rather than having a chat, Kanye laid on his back on the floor in protest and refused to speak.
In a bid to get him to warm up, the host went to lay beside him and joked about the size of his rear compared to Kanye's missus Kim's behind.
“If you want to spoon I don’t mind. It’s not as big as Kim’s but it is all yours," Ross said.
But he couldn't work his magic and Kanye got up and stalked off stage.
The dad-of-one also refused to sit in the backstage green room with other guests and didn't get a picture with the British TV host as is routine.
Kanye West gets emotional on Radio 1
An insider told The Sun: “It was all very odd.
“Kanye was only there to perform and not have a proper chat but he wouldn’t even say two words to Jonathan. It was very funny when Jonathan got on the ground and lay next to him.”
This comes as the rapper got extremely emotional when talking about the "greatest fashion instructor of all time" Louise Wilson, who died in May last year.
Kanye attended the professor's memorial service along with the likes of Victoria Beckham ahead of London Fashion Week , and described his last meeting with his friend and mentor at London's Hakkasan.
"I think she knew she was gonna pass," he told Radio 1 host Zane Lowe, while describing her as the "baddest professor of all time".

Zane Lowe meets Kanye West 2015
Affectionately describing how influential that Wilson was on his life, Kanye was inspired with how Wilson pushed her students, stating that she was "notorious for not letting people stop at a 7 or 8," but would push for a 12 and create the likes of Alexander McQueen.
"So many students, they don't give it their all," he said recalling their conversation."
Of trying to get the best out of his daughter with wife Kim Kardashian, Kanye also revealed the advice that Wilson gave him: “She just looked at me and said: ‘Kanye, don’t clap’."
Kanye was then reduced to tears and could be heard breaking down during the interview, with Lowe asking if Kanye needed a minute to get himself together.
"That’s never happened to me in an interview before," he said as he came back on air and later admitted that talking about Wilson was "kinda hard for me".
