(Radio.com) Jack White has taken over the crown for rants from Kanye West. During his show Wednesday night (Sept. 17) at Boston's Fenway Park he kicked things off with a four-minute rant, which included digs at the Foo Fighters and Rolling Stone.

While his comments about the Foo Fighters made headlines, his camp later sent out a statement explaining that he was joking. White, however had a lot more to say about Rolling Stone - particularly, its website. Three minutes of insults to be exact. "Something for RollingStone.com tomorrow," he said. "I like to feed them something everyday. They've paid me zero dollars to plug them tomorrow." After saying Rolling Stone was "brought to you by Jack White" his rant continued as he joked the publication was "brought to you by the Kardashian family."

He then went on to insult their online content, giving off gallery title suggestions. "15 outfits that will blow your mind that Taylor Swift wore this month," he said. "10 reasons why RollingStone.com didn't cover the Newport Folk Festival for 50 years. 12 reasons Rolling Stone won't put a black and white cover on the cover of their magazine unless you're dead.

"Did you also know Jann Wenner also owns US Magazine? The tabloid capital of magazines. Keeping paparazzi alive for over 20 years," he said. "OK, I'm officially supposed to stop now, because this is becoming a Kanye West-esque rant. Because apparently, nowadays, you aren't allowed to speak to your own fans about anything, lest it be a rant. So forget ISIS, forget the war in the Middle East, forget any problems at home, forget gay marriage, forget everything you ever thought about everything. This not a rant. This is just me saying, Hello Cleveland!"
