Lily Allen & Kanye West - Lily Allen?s fury over controversial Kanye West Tweet - Lily Allen Kanye West - Tweet - Lily Allen - Kanye West - Marie Claire - Marie Clarie UK

Furious British songstress Lily Allen has hit out at rapper Kanye West, after the US star posted controversial comments about abortion on Twitter.

Lily, who suffered a tragic miscarriage for the second time in November last year, was quick to vent her fury after reading the unpleasant Tweet - which spoke about the cost of having an abortion – branding it ‘wrong on so many levels.’

Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood,’ the angry starlet wrote. ‘This is wrong on so many levels.’

The message in question – posted earlier in the day by the American rapper – seemed to suggest some woman get pregnant on purpose, to secure payoffs from men.

‘An abortion can cost a ballin' n**** up to 50gs maybe a 100,’ Kanye Tweeted.

‘Gold diggin' b****** be getting pregnant on purpose. #STRAPUP my n*****!’

He later added: ‘It ain’t happen to me but I know people.’

Despite his insensitive Tweets sparking outrage, Kanye has yet to apologise for the comments.

This isn’t the first time Kanye has sparked controversy.

Last year, the rap star was slammed by many in the music industry for interrupting country star Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech when she won at the Grammy Awards, claiming Beyonce should have taken the prize.

What are your thoughts on the story? Should Kanye apologise for his Tweet? Let us know in the comments box below.

I think Kanye is an idiot and will not apologise because he's a misogynistic tosspot. Lily has been through enough without idiots like Kanye upsetting her more.

there are 2 sides to every story and had poor Lily not recently been through 2 traumatic events it probably would not have cut her as deep as it did. however he should NOT be "squarking" via twittter about such personal things; which "apparently" arnt even about him!

Fact of the matter is...IT HAPPENS HERE IN THE STATES. He wasn't talking about every female. Just the ones that are so selfish and vindictive, they will use their Womb as a cash cow. And whether we like it or not, those females exist. Must not in the UK, but they do in the US. Lily's miscarriage had nothing to do with his tweet. He wasn't talking to her or about her.

Granted, he is a prat. But...er...abortion and miscarriage are entirely different. They should both shut up.

Whatever happened to Freedom of Speech we supposedly live a democracy and yes girls (you know who you are) this stuff does happen. People have tweeted worse get over it!

2 factors Kayne West should consider... 1, It takes 2 so 'don't do the crime if you don't want to do the time' and 2,Put something on the end of it. Too many stupid men around thinking it is their given right to be able to go 'bare-backed'. Dirty, dirty dirty men and totally selfish too. YUK !! If they get caught by a golddigger serves them right xx
