Kanye West is denying that he said that Kim Kardashian is "his Beyoncé," Us Weekly reports. "There are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding this past couple of weeks, especially the 'She's my Beyoncé' quote," the rapper told Us. "I would never compare anyone to my friend's wife.

"Come on now, that doesn't even sound like me," says West, who has a longstanding professional relationship with the singer's husband, Jay-Z. "If I don't say something in a rap or on Twitter, it's not true."

West has been romantically linked with Kardashian in recent months. In a new track titled "Way Too Cold" – originally called "Theraflu" – West raps about his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose's relationship with Wiz Khalifa, noting "I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in love with him."

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
