Kanye West promises to quit ranting for next six months

Outspoken rapper Kanye West has vowed to quit ranting for "at least" the next six months after airing out his views on a wide range of topics throughout his Yeezus tour.

The Stronger hitmaker made his opinions known on everything from his lack of Grammy Award nominations this year (13) to his fall out with sports giant Nike and his subsequent defect to Adidas, while he has also vented his frustrations about being overlooked as a credible fashion designer.

However, at the final date of his North American tour in Toronto, Canada on Monday (23Dec13), the hip-hop star announced plans to keep his thoughts to himself for a while.

In a lengthy last missive, he stated, "Everything I'm saying that's not allowed, soak it in right now. This might be the last time y'all hear me talk s**t for a long time. Might be another like six months. At least. You're just gonna have to run back the interviews and s**t if you wanna hear some realness!"
