Their infamous Twitter beef has reached its sad conclusion.

You may remember that exciting 45 minutes or so a couple of weeks ago when Kanye West WENT ALL CAPS LOCK on Jimmy Kimmel, following a mildy amusing sketch spoofing the rapper’s BBC interview with Zane Lowe (“the first piece of honest media in years”, as Kanye called it).

In the Twitter rant — which has since been deleted — Kanye did all sorts of entertaining shit, like criticised Kimmel’s comedy chops (“SARAH SILVERMAN IS A THOUSAND TIMES FUNNIER THAN YOU…”), criticised Kimmel’s face (“YOUR FACE LOOKS CRAZY… IS THAT FUNNY?”), awkwardly criticised Kimmel’s taste in lovers (“PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES… OH NO THAT MEANS YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN TOO MUCH GOOD PUSSY IN YOUR LIFE…”), and invented the excellent hashtags “#NODISRESPECTTOBENAFFLECK” and “#ALLDISRESPECTTOJIMMYKIMMEL!!!”.

Needless to say, it was a surprise when, earlier this week, Kimmel announced that Kanye would be a guest on on his show. Well, it just happened, and it was… OH SHIT KANYE JUST ATE JIMMY KIMMEL’S SOUL WITH HIS EYES.

Here’s a more ranty sneak peek that’s also making the rounds:

Despite the uncomfortable fury emanating from those scenes, the episode apparently ended with a symbolic gift of friendship, when Kimmel presented West with some leather running shorts. “This prompted West to go on a nearly uninterrupted stream-of-consciousness rant for several minutes in which he addressed the fashion industry, the civil rights movement, the importance of his family, the nature of celebrity and several other subjects,” explained some on the scene reporter from HuffPo. Obviously, as soon as we can find a video of that, we’ll squeal a bit and then stick it right in your faces.

In the meantime, sleep lightly.
