Jimmy Kimmel responded to Kanye West's Twitter rant by taking a shot at the rapper's girlfriend, Kim Kardashian and her infamous sex tape.

On Thursday night, the Yeezus rapper took to Twitter to express his disgust with Jimmy Kimmel by tweeting him a series of angry tweets.

Kimmel took to his late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live to address Kanye, saying, "He is very angry because of a bit we aired this week."

Kimmel referred to a parody the show did of a child that re-enacted an interview that West gave to Britain's BBC last week.

It was "pretty innocuous," Kimmel said.

According to the late-night host, West demanded he make a public apology, adding that the rapper called himself the most powerful voice in media.

"He called me - he said a lot of things. He told me I had two choices: Number one - apologize publicly... and that was really the only choice," Jimmy joked. "The other choice he gave was he said, 'Your life is going to be much better if you apologize.'"

Jimmy then read all of Kanye's tweets and responded to each one. Though Jimmy didnt directly lash back at Kanye in his responses, he emphasized how dramatic the rapper's tweets were.

Responding to the Kanye's tweet, "JIMMY KIMMEL PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES ... OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD P***Y IN YOUR LIFE...," Jimmy said, "I've seen the video, I know," obviously referring to Kardashian's sex tape.

A source close to Kimmel said the late night host did not take Kanye's Tweets offensive.

"Jimmy laughed it off and will be getting back at him through comedy, which Kanye doesn't apparently have an ounce of in his entire body," the source said.
