New
York
(ANI):
Rapper
Kanye
West
took
to
Twitter
to
joke
around
with
Britney
Spears
after
her
single
hit
No.
1
on
iTunes.
West,
whose
new
collaboration
with
Jay-Z
'H.A.M.',
hit
No.
2
on
iTunes,
repeated
the
same
line
that
made
millions
watching
the
VMAs
cringe
more
than
a
year
ago.
"Yo
Britney.
I'm
really
happy
for
you
and
I'mma
let
you
be
#1,
but
me
and
Jay-Z
single
is
one
of
the
best
songs
of
all
time," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
him
as
tweeting
on
Friday.
While
the
tweet
to
Spears
was
caught
in
a
screengrab
by
popeater.com,
West
apparently
received
enough
backlash
from
the
apparently
not-funny
yet
joke
that
he
took
it
down
on
Friday.
"On
a
serious
note,
I'm
truly
happy
for
@AvrilLavigne
and
@BritneySpears
...
No
hate
in
2011!" he
wrote.
"I
thought
LOL
signified
a
joke
...
I
didn't
get
the
2011
LOL
doesn't
signify
a
joke
anymore
memo
...
LOL
or
something
else
I
guess,"
he
added.
On
Spears'
Twitter
account,
her
manager
Adam
Leber,
tweeted
back
at
West,
"Thanks
for
'letting'
us
be
#1.
Much
appreciated
..."
