Kanye West should have taken a cue from all the Justin Bieber backlash after the teen opened his mouth on abortion.

But this is Kanye we're talking about, and when it comes to keeping his mouth shut (or his texting thumbs idle), he doesn't. The rapper this week took to Twitter with his own views on the hot-button issue. "An abortion can cost a ballin' n**** up to 50gs maybe a 100...Gold diggin' b****** be getting pregnant on purpose. #STRAPUP my n*****!" Oh, Kanye. Will you ever learn?

Needless to say, those remarks pissed off some people, notably Lily Allen, who last fall miscarried her second baby in two years. So what was Lily's response?

Allen, who has defended the outrageous rapper and his Twitter rants in the past, retweeted Kanye's remarks, then wrote: "Never has a tweet put me in such a bad mood. This is wrong on so many levels."

But Allen's views of the spotlight stealer seemed to have shifted and his words certainly struck home—sadly, she suffered a miscarriage last November while six months pregnant. Two years ago she also had a miscarriage.

Kanye later clarified his abortion rant by tweeting, "It ain't happen to me but I know people."

We expect more to come on the topic as soon as he gets wind of Allen's response. Will he deliver yet another apology? Keep watching this space.
