Kanye West would like everyone to know that his upcoming series for HBO is not a reality show.
We reported last week that the rapper/producer has teamed with Curb Your Enthusiasm executive producer Larry Charles for an as-yet-untitled project that would focus on a day in what is described as "his crazy hectic life". But, it’s not a reality show.
"I wouldn’t do something as cliché as a reality show," West said in a statement. "At least give me the credit for being more creative than that. …It’s a situational half-hour comedy. It’s fictional, and loosely based on my life."
West has been developing the project with Charles and Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin since 2005. "Maybe this will give me the opportunity to spazz out at the Emmys one day,” West added.
