Plan B says "Kanye West is a f***ing idiot"

Plan B thinks Kanye West has lost the plot, even describing the US star as a "f**king idiot".

The London rapper, who is pushing a soul sound on his just-released second album 'The Defamation of Strickland Banks', thinks West has lost touch with reality since finding fame. "Kanye knows he's a f***ing idiot – I ain't gotta tell him that," Plan B - real name Ben Drew said. "He's lost touch with reality but it must be hard when you get that big."

Although Ben added in his defence, "You only get into the music business by having confidence and determination. You need to convince people you are going to make it. That's the amount of ego you need to survive and Kanye certainly falls into that category."

'The Defamation of Strickland Banks' is out now.
