Kanye West has apparently decided to distance himself from the term "celebrity."

The 35-year-old hip hop artist took to the stage at the Adult Swim upfront at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City on Wednesday and rapped, "I don't know if you know, [but] there's one thing about me, but I'm not a celebrity."

"I don't know if you know there's one thing about me, but I'm a terrible, terrible celebrity," Us magazine quoted him as singing.

"I don't know if you know there's one thing about me, but I'm the worst kind of celebrity ... Because all I do is make real music," he sang.

He rapped that other aspects of celebrity were "throwing me off of my focus and sh-t."

Earlier in the evening, West also performed a tribute to his girlfriend Kim Kardashian, singing "Stop everything you're doing now/ Because baby, you're awesome."

"Don't let nobody get you down/ Because you're awesome/ You don't need to listen to your manager/ You must be tired of running through my mind/ Can I come inside? ... I'm also awesome .../ I'd rather do nothing with you/ than something with somebody new/ Because baby you're awesome," he sang.
