Kanye to Mencia -- I Ain't No Cosby!

Click to return to TMZ.comKanye West did not like being called "Theo Huxtable" one bit, and he's spitting back at Carlos Mencia -- the guy who slapped him with that ignominious label.

Mencia did a hilarious spoof of West's smash "Gold Digger" on his Comedy Central show, skewering West for downplaying his suburban, upper-middle-class background -- his mother was an English professor and father a well-paid photographer.

And now, Kanye's response: On his latest single, "Can't Tell Me Nothing," he disavows any connection to the Huxtables, rapping, "I ain't one of the Cosbys, I ain't go to Hillman," referring to the college one of the Huxtable children attended in the series.

Mencia, never one to back down, will no doubt file his own shot.

31. You don't have to be from the ghetto or be poor to be a rapper, so I don't get Mencia's point. Especially since Kanye doesn't rap about gangbanging or crime.

I can't wait until Mind of Mencia gets cancelled. Ned Holness is the unfunniest Chapelle-wannabe there ever. Way to sellout latin culture for a freaking cable show, you talentless joke thief.
