Kanye West Pays Tribute to Will Ferrell on Twitter

Kanye West took to Twitter on Saturday to pay tribute to comedy star Will Ferrell after watching Zoolander 2 for the second time. Ferrell reprises his role as the megalomaniacal supervillain Jacobim Mugatu in the sequel, which was released Feb. 12.

Kanye tweeted “Will Ferrell has reached walking living breathing god status, his existence is a blessing. Perhaps it was seeing him play the same character from 15 years ago with 15 more years experience. That showed how sharp and Bruce Lee status he is. We all know Will Ferrell has always been the one!!” “I just want to thank Will Ferrell for the years of joy he has brought into my life with amazing comedy and also let's shout out to the art direction...candy on the screens! It is so inspiring. Thank you for existing!”

Kanye appeared with Ferrell in another popular comedy sequel, Anchorman 2, and he and Jay Z's 2011 track N----as in Paris samples excerpts from Ferrell's 2007 figure-skating comedy movie Blades of Glory.
