Kanye West was just joking when he suggested he was a fan of music piracy in a recent post online.
The US rap star courted controversy last week when he shared a Twitter photo of a computer screen, which clearly showed an internet browser tab open to the Pirate Bay website.
The image suggested he was illegally downloading synthesizer software Serum, which is sold by dance star Deadmau5's Xfer Records.
The snap prompted Deadmau5 to attack West online, while the rapper quickly hit back by ridiculing the electronic artist in another of his infamous rants.
West has since attempted to clear up the controversy by insisting the photo post was meant as a "funny" prank, Billboard.com reports.
