LONDON - There are a lot of things you probably want to tell Kanye West and perhaps calling him a "douche" is one of them.

Someone with access to Virgin Australia's corporate Twitter account tweeted at the musician calling him just that as well as telling him to EAD (Eat a D*ck).

The strange tweet from the account was a reaction to Kanye's response to Pitchfork, in which he told them his new album was a "30 out of 10".

The company immediately apologised, saying the tweet was not published by a Virgin Australia employee.

@VirginAustralia are you sure you don’t want to just give them a job?— Greg Tangey (@ruxton) February 16, 2016

We support @VirginAustralia's anti @kanyewest stance. https://t.co/q4GrnOK72i— David Olsen (@DDsD) February 16, 2016

I guess not everybody loves Kanye, as much as Kanye loves Kanye.
