After Kanye West booked an appearance on the Today Show in order to respond to the comments George Bush made about him, Kanye hired a PR firm to help him handle the interview. He was advised by the firm not to do the show and it was canceled. Or so the PR firm thought. The morning of the interview the PR person assigned to Kanye was notified that he was at NBC's Rockefeller Center studio waiting to talk to Matt Lauer. So, Dutitful PR Lackey rushed right down and she and Kanye shut themselves off in his dressing room and were heard going through several possible sets of questions and answers. We all know what happened next. [Click here if you don't]
Anyway, the PR firm quit as soon as the interview was over. Later Kanye blamed the fiasco on "the people around him" via Twitter.
