Fox News reports on Ye's latest kerfuffle, which started when he posted a brief message to his Twitter fans on Sunday morning: "McDonald's is my favorite restaurant." Someone in the Burger King UK office must've been surveying the internet from across the pond, because shortly after came a snarky response to West from that account: "Explains a lot." Fox features some of the responses to the BK diss, which spun off into viral territory; as of Tuesday morning it had more than 680,000 likes and 180,000 retweets.
