Kanye West sees himself as the next 'King Of Pop', now that the title is available following the death of Michael Jackson last month.
"You know everyone loves and respects Michael but times change." West tells Scrape TV. "It's so sad to see Michael gone but it makes a path for a new 'King of Pop' and I'm willing to take that on."
"There's nobody who can match me in sales and so it only makes sense for me to take over Michael's crown and become the new 'King'."
"I have nothing but respect for Michael but someone needs to pick up where he left off and there's nobody better than me to do that. I am the new King of Pop."
Kanye also said he could be the third 'king of pop', following the original holder of the title Elvis Presley.
"First there was Elvis, then there was Michael, now in the 21st century it is Kanye's time to rule."
