Kanye West Makes A Splash During First Day On Twitter

Kanye West has only been on Twitter for 24 hours, but the hip-hop star has already made a big splash.

The rapper posted more than 77 Tweets within his first day on the social networking site, drawing attention to his many extravagant interests in his posts.

Kanye posted messages with links to Twitpics of various lavish items he has or wants, including a large Versace sofa he said he owns, and a hefty horse he Tweeted he wanted to own because, “Kings need horses.”

As of Thursday afternoon, he had accumulated more than 263,564 followers, including celebrity Twitter users Nicky Hilton, Rachel Zoe and Spencer Pratt. Kanye himself, however, is not yet following anyone.

Some of the stars even welcomed Kanye to the social networking site, like Alyssa Milano who Tweeted yesterday afternoon, “I’ma let you finish @kanyewest but…welcome to Twitter,” referencing his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs in 2009.

Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at Kanye’s, extravagant Tweets, noting, “it’s weird. somehow @kanyewest and I have EXACTLY the same life!”

Kanye’s lively postings even inspired the trending topic “#predictingkanyetweets,” with comedian Aziz Ansari joining in the fun.

“I wish Hermes made edible snacks, Cheezits just ain’t dope enough for my mouth. #PredictingKanyeTweets,” Aziz joked on Thursday, taking part in the trending topic.
