It's safe to say Kanye West would hear the buzzer if he ever auditioned in front of The X Factor's Louis Walsh.
There's no doubt Kanye is the most controversial figure in pop music today - with his presidential pronouncements and constant Taylor Swift bashing - so Digital Spy went to The X Factor's own loose cannon to give Yeezy a proper tongue-lashing in a world exclusive chat.

"I think [Kanye] is just out of control. His ego," Louis Walsh complained to us in an outrageous interview today (August 25).
Lest you think Louis is just annoyed by the constant hype surrounding Yeezy and the Wife of Pablo (aka Kim Kardashian), he's not too keen on the actual music either.
(Err, what's Kanye looking at?)
What to Read Next
"I don't love the music," Louis complained. "And that girl with the big arse! What the f**k is that about?
"I just don't get it! I wouldn't go and see him in concert if he was across the road."

So, Louis probably won't be tuning in when the MTV Video Music Awards gives Kanye four whole minutes to do whatever the hell he wants this Sunday (August 28).
In fact, it sounds like he's very much Team Taylor as he gushed with praise for Ms Swift.
"She is like her own manager," he said. "She is in charge. She has made a fortune. She had her own jet when nobody had a jet. She knows what she's doing and made the big crossover from country music to pop. That's a very hard thing to do.
"She was on X Factor. She is a hardworking professional. She's got lots of boyfriends. Who knew? A country girl!"
Expect plenty more cheeky insults from Louis when he returns to The X Factor alongside judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger this Saturday (August 27) at 8pm on ITV.
