US rapper Kanye West has published pictures of himself updating his blog in an attempt to quash rumours that he employs a ghost blogger.

The popularity of West's blog has grown hugely over recent months and has often been used by the rapper as a place to answer his critics.

Now, Marcus Troy, another internet blogger, has claimed that West, and fellow hip-hop star Pharrell Williams, employ someone to do their work for them.

In a post, he said: “How the Hell does Kanye have time to update his blog with 10 new post a day?

"While touring, making beats, sexing, looking at porn, shopping, creating vodka commercials, attending fashion shows and whatever else a dude of his caliber [sic] is doing?

“The only way I see it happening is with a “Ghost Blogger”. I know by some of his post it seems like he is the one finding all the cool stuff and writing all those post, But we don’t believe you, you need more people.”

In response to Troy's accusation, West's photos of himself on his blog were accompanied by a caps lock attack on the blogger.

“I DON'T KNOW WHO THE HELL THIS IS... BUT I COVERED HIS NAME AND FACE SO HE WOULDN'T GET THE PUB HE WAS OBVIOUSLY LOOKIN' 4!” West said.
