It is not just Kanye, I know several bands (small, unsigned bands even) that throw fits if they get critiqued at all. We once received a thrashing email from a Seattle bands because we said they were monotonous, and oh did we get it from them. threw a fit like no other.

Artists are weird, but good and bad (and even middle of the road) reviews are what makes the world go round... and round.

I stopped listening to a word Kanye said when he compared himself to Jesus... he is just self absorbed.
