On Monday night, Stephen Colbertcalled out Kanye West on his show, challenging him to a sales competition and questioning Kanye’s claim that he’ll go down as the voice of this generation. So yesterday, in response, Kanye posted a Twitter message that said this:
who the fuck is Stephen Colbert?
The post hit at around 9 p.m. EST last night, so Colbert wasn’t able to respond to the Twit, but last night he called out Kanye again, and said the Colbert Nation should Twitter about his Operation Humble Kanye.
I think this is obviously leading up to a performance/appearance by West on the show, but how far Colbert will go beforehand is the entertaining part. [via Stereogum]
Do I smell a thumb wrestling match in the near future?

i am *stunned* by the number of people out here on the net (not so much on this site) who can't seem to conceive of the possibility that kanye is playing along. will try not to make too much of that...
