Crosby had first slammed West, 38, back in March, responding to a fan who asked for his opinion about "Kanye's music" and "impact as an artist."

"He's an idiot and a poser...has no talent at all," Crosby replied.

He told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview published earlier this week that there was "lots" of backlash over his remarks about West.

"People raging at me on Twitter, and I don't care," he said. "I think the guy's an idiot! What can I tell you?"

West, one of the most famous hip-hop stars in the world, had once said his "greatest pain in life" is that he will never be able to see himself perform live.

Earlier this year, he stirred controversy when he did a mock reenactment of his 2009 Taylor Swift-MTV VMAs stage rush at the 2015 Grammys, stealing the spotlight from alternative rocker Beck after he won Album of the Year for his 2014 record Morning Phase. He told E! News after the Grammys that "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé." He later clarified his remarks and apologized.

"I'm fine to apologize for inaccuracies," West told The Sunday Times recently, while talking about the incident. "You know, I send flowers to inaccuracies."
