Well a lot of folks were trying to figure out what Kanye West was going through yesterday. Yeezy was on Twitter tweeting about the illuminati and devil worshipping!

"Question... can you devil worship on the new iPhone??? LOL!!! What's better for devil worshipping Iphone or the Droid... Does lucifer return text... is he or she on Skype? Don't wanna be sexist." "I am down with Cluemanotti though, that's my boy ... @therealdjclue"
"#DoyouthinkLucifer uses in in ear monitors or signature Beats by Dre headphones???!!!"
All of this is because of his statement to MTV:
"There's this line where I say, 'I sold my soul to the devil, that's a crappy deal,' and all these people said, 'What you mean you sold your soul to the devil?' But when I say it, I'm saying, when I allow other people's ideas to interfere with what I know is true to myself, that's the devil. So, it's like, people talking mess on the blogs is the devil or ...trying to call me names, that's what the devil is. And me thinking twice about what it is that's really in my heart because of what people's reaction would be is me selling my soul to the devil."
