Kanye West went on a Twitter tantrum on Friday, ranting about online children’s games that allow kid players to make in-app purchases.
“F–k any game company that puts in-app purchases on kids games!!!!” the rapper tweeted, with other tweets following, such as, “That makes no sense!!! We give the iPad to our child and every 5 minutes there’s a new purchase!!!”
Twitter users were quick to point out that his wife, Kim Kardashian, offers in-app purchases in her own online game, “Kim Kardashian: Hollywood,” with some costing as much as $40.
In fact, the in-app purchases were a main factor allowing Kardashian to rake in $1.6 million its first five days on the market. Business Insider reported that the game made $43 million in its third quarter.
Kardashian had defended her in-app purchase options, stating that parents can set their app controls to check their children’s spending habits.
