Probably because he does come off condescending when he says things like:

"this latest “Runaway” screening also functioned as a forum for the hip-hop superstar’s grandiose sense of self "

Shrugs. The article is still written in an annoying tone if you ask me. It takes little shots here and there that I don't think are necessary or add anything to it.

but that equates to you bashing the whole publication company? or even enough to go on Twitter and go apeshit?

Well, yeah, sort of. When you work for a company, you represent that company. What one LA Times writer does reflects on the LA Times. If one inserts asshole remarks or doesn't fact check properly then that's what often happens, people form opinions of the entire entity.

Probably shouldn't go apeshit on twitter, but obviously he realized that...as he deleted it.

If this is supposed to be a "review" I wouldn't consider it a very good one. There's a difference between reviewing something and just giving a play by play with a bunch of negative condescending remarks here and there. You'll notice most of the negative remarks aren't even about the film, they are about HIM.

Ye went to far but I see why he's mad... With the tone of that article, it's not just a negative review, it's one of those snide attempts to rain on the aura of positivity surrounding the premiere.
Implying he has delusions of grandeur.
Trying to pull a few "voice of our generation" memes with the sarcastic air-quotes.
Making his suicide confession look insincere with the sentence structure.

i remember when Time wrote about his BET performance of Power, they did something similar. Very shady and un-necessarily negative.

Exactly. The negativity is personally aimed at him. I think that's why he's mad, not because someone didn't like his film.

But that's just my take.

Some of you guys act like putting out a tweet is some major flying off the handle reaction. It's a tweet. How many people carefully consider all their tweets? It's not some drastic measure. People complain non stop on twitter. I think he was just in the moment and felt slighted so he said it, then deleted it. Pretty common practice on social media lol.

Does he really need any more negative publicity?

No, but I don't think it really matters either way. He could do nothing at all and articles will still manage to bring up stuff about his "self grandeur" and what not.

Just for me personally I'm not that bothered with him expressing discontent over something. I think that's just him, regardless of how much people think he needs to sit down and keep his mouth closed. Guess I'm just desensitized to this after like 7 years of Ye lol.
