Kanye West's much-talked about interview on the Today Show has aired in the US.

During the pre-recorded discussion, West was quizzed on his outburst involving Taylor Swift in 2009 and asked his thoughts about George Bush.

Earlier this week, the rapper expressed his disappointment with presenter Matt Lauer's line of questioning in a series of messages on Twitter.

"'I don't trust anyone but myself," he wrote. "Everyone has an agenda. I don't do press anymore. I can't be everything to everybody anymore."

The rapper added: "Very judged very scrutinized very criticized! I want everyone to know I have lows all the time but I make it through them!"

West is currently promoting his new studio album 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy', released on November 22.
