Kanye West doesn't like impostors. And he doesn't care much for Twitter, either.
In a blog posting, the outspoken rapper railed against the micro-blogging site for allowing users to set up accounts under fake names.
West called on the site to take down the user tweeting under his name - and Twitter listened.
The user - named KanyeWest - was suspended on Wednesday. The site doesn't allow impersonation, but does allow parody impersonations clearly meant as a joke.
Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said in an email that Twitter is looking at how best to implement an account verification system.
