Kanye, you’re way over cred-it limit!

-

Dear Kanye West,

The last time someone was as in love with themselves as much as you are, they had to get a room.

But we get it, you make great music, you create art, expensive sneakers and T-shirts that cost as much a car payment. And that’s really good — for you.

But when open your mouth at awards shows and heap praise on yourself, it just hurts your cred.

Take Sunday night at MTV’s Video Music Awards when you crowed about your role models, including Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Walt Disney and . . . yourself.

Beyoncé took her time on stage to bring the house down. You took a different approach. You might as well have used your time to hug yourself.

Kanye, in a rambling, sleep-inducing look-at-me moment, you used MTV’s annual awards show to throw shade at Taylor Swift (again!), note senseless deaths in Chicago and complain about the advice you get from “old, rich,” people whom you noted are, “aka white.” You wrapped up the whole thing with a new music video, “Fade,” featuring a gorgeous half-naked woman who winds up at the end with the face of a cat. Meow-ch. Racial discord, violence, your petty feuds and your galactic-sized ego — buddy, that last part just ruins it for everyone.

Also what the heck does this mean: “Our fame right now is us on the inside of the TV.”?

And thanks for paying tribute to yourself and “Famous,” the creepy-ass video you made a few months ago that featured a bunch of celebritie­s — including yourself and your wife — sleeping naked in a big bed. Sunday night you pointed out your “audacity to put Anna Wintour next to Donald Trump!” C’mon. You want to weird everyone out? Just stick with the catfaced lady next time.
