TOO SOON! KANYE CRACKS A TAYLOR SWIFT JOKE TO BRITNEY SPEARS & NOBODY FOUND IT FUNNY!

Thanks to his new hit, the joke's not over for Kanye West.

After his new collaboration with Jay-Z "H.A.M." hit No. 2 on iTunes, the controversial rapper took to Twitter to joke around with another blonde pop tart with the same line that made millions watching the VMAs cringe more than a year ago.

"Yo Britney," he tweeted on Friday. "I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you be #1, but me and Jay-Z single is one of the best songs of all time."

The tweet wasn't the first time West made fun of his interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs that derailed his career for a bit and sent him into hiding for a few months before he reemerged, seemingly strong as ever.

In a free track he posted last summer, he finished the song "Uncle Charlie, by the way, and I'ma let you finish, but I got Beyonce on the track."

While the tweet to Spears was caught in a screengrab by popeater.com, West apparently received enough backlash from the apparently not-funny-yet joke that he took it down on Friday.

"On a serious note, I'm truly happy for @AvrilLavigne and @BritneySpears ... No hate in 2011!" he tweeted.

"I thought LOL signified a joke ... I didn't get the 2011 LOL doesn't signify a joke anymore memo ... LOL or something else I guess," he added.

On Spears' Twitter account, her manager Adam Leber, tweeted back at West, "Thanks for "letting" us be #1. Much appreciated ..."

West's and Jay-Z’s single was the first from the duo's upcoming album "Watch The Throne" which is set to be released in March.
