UPDATE 17/02/16 4:35pm Responsibility for Virgin Australia’s “Kanye West eat a dick” tweet has been claimed by a media agency linked to the airline.

…but not everyone’s so convinced that the responsible Kanye-hater wasn’t actually a employee of the airline…





…while others are begging the company to stop apologising:











Yeezy is yet to respond to Virgin Australia’s poor attempt at starting an online beef, but it looks like the airline just scored itself a spot in some people’s good books — probably not Kanye’s, though.
