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*****!’

Despite his insensitive Tweets sparking outrage, Kanye has yet to apologise for the comments.
This isn’t the first time Kanye has sparked controversy.
