Kanye does it ... again...

    KANYE WEST sparked outrage at the MTV VMAs by humiliating country starlet TAYLOR SWIFT live on stage.

    The 19-year-old singer was accepting her Best Female Video prize when the rapper grabbed the mic off her to proclaim BEYONCE deserved the gong.
    He said: "Sorry Taylor, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time."
    Shell-shocked Swift stood motionless on stage while Beyonce was seen mouthing "Oh my god" as a chorus of boos rang around the Radio City Music Hall in new York. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2636172/Kanye-West-humiliates-Taylor-Swift-live-on-stage-at-MTV-VMAs.html


    What is with him? He seriously has issues with any newcomer or non US hugely famous artist ( the last outburst over video award with european act - cant remember name)
    Was it just for more publicity for him or is he genuinely an a*s?

    He's an idiot. I had the misfortune of getting free tickets to see him in the marquee - and the whole show was just a display of vulgarity and narcissism. He really went OTT though when he had 4 leggy blondes walk out topless, painted in gold wearing only thongs, and have them kneel before him to make him seem less like a shortass, and obviously a chick magnet!

    Walked out after 40 minutes.

    'Of course I like fish-dicks' ha ha, I only seen that episode a few nights ago and was wondering what the deal was with Kanye. Now I know, the guy is a twerp.

    God i dunno, she looked genuinely horrified- she's only just gone 19, poor thing, biggest moment of her life ruined by a self-centred r*hab.. he is a d*ck....
    Pity she didn't just call him out on stage. I'da ripped him down for that!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    I think he is a knobhead anyway and I wouldn't have much time for taylor swift either but that seemed pretty self absorbed of him, who gives a **** who he thinks should have won anyway , what a retarded egomaniac! Low class kind of behaviour especially against a 19yr old winning her first award in front of (presumably) hundreds of millions of people. & yes he is a gay fish.

    Kanye West has apologised for storming on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at last night's MTV Video Music Awards.
    During the incident, the rapper took Swift's microphone and suggested that Beyoncé should have won the prize for Best Female Video, prompting boos from the crowd.
    When Beyoncé picked up the Video Of The Year prize later that evening, she invited Swift to join her on stage and give her acceptance speech uninterrupted.
    Writing on his blog, West said: "I'm so sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mom. I spoke to her mother right after and she said the same thing my mother would've said. She is very talented! (sic).
    "I like the lyrics about being a cheerleader and she's in the bleachers! I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!"
    He added: "Beyoncé's video was the best of this decade!!! I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down!!! I'm sorry to my friends at MTV.
    "I will apologize to Taylor 2mrw (tomorrow). Welcome to the real world!!! Everybody wanna boo me but I'm a fan of real pop culture! No disrespect but we watchin' the show at the crib right now cause...well you know!!! I'm still happy for Taylor!!! Boooyaaawwww!!!!
    "You are very very talented. I gave my award to Outkast when they deserved it over me. That's what it is! I'm not crazy yall, I'm just real. Sorry for that! I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry!!! Much respect!!!"

    He is an idiot

    They guy is an unbelievably immature, self-important, attention seeker. Basically, he's pathetic. And he thinks he's some sort of genius.

    I wish the media would ignore people like him, as this sort of stuff is just **** material for him.

    It's all a work

    Taylor's moment gets ruined and as a result becomes pitied and thus even more beloved by the nation.

    Beyonce brings her out at the end to a standing ovation, so she's a hero too.

    And Kanye is seen as a huge dick, except by teenage hip-hop fans who hate Taylor Swift anyway. And everybody thought he was a dick anyway. That's his thing. He's an egotistical bad guy. More people will watch him on Leno tonight. More and more publicity

    Indeed, she just happened to be back stage waiting to get the call up from Beyonce. Nice job using Kanye.

    It was so lousy....i felt sorry for Taylor but sure that is Kayne all out.....what an idiot


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46,838 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    How did Taylor Swift get the award for best female video, if beyonce got the best video award - Is Beyonce another Gaga!? (or as Kanye would say.... Is Beyonce another Gaga!!!!!!!!?????!?!?!?)

    Also, they just happened to have a camera trained on Beyonce which panned to her instantly for her reaction once Kanye said her name.

    It's very clever.

    Also the reason Beyonce got involved. With all the publicity coming from this Kanye will get a ****load of publicity for his next big project. He produced and features on more than half oj Jay-Z's new songs from the Blueprint 3. When does the Blueprint 3 come out. This week. Who is his wife. Beyonce.

    Nearly all those rap "stars" are terrible role models.. They are mostly scum, and I include Chris Brown in that.

    I don't buy any of the conspiracy theories at all. Its understandable that cameras would be focused on her fellow nominees during the speech and also BP3 was released last week so I really really doubt this entire event was that pre-planned for Jay-Z's benefit, especially since he's one of the most intelligent, mature rappers around and would be looking at huge first week sales either way. It's big, favourable publicity for a few people (Leno certainly) but terrible for Kanye, but who's surprised, this is just the way he acts - he just can't help himself. Threw a wobbler over Gretchen Wilson (AMA's I believe), Justice (MTV Europe awards) and the time he didnt win a Grammy for Best Album. Kanye makes music for his ego and the critics, nobody else

    Have good manners gone out of fashion? Unbelievable. I was thinking of going to that Kanye gig in the Marquee. Glad I didn't bother now. What a low life.

    I do'nt really know who Taylor Swift was but boy is she going to get some good PR out of this and her profile is going to be raised ten fold.

    Jay Z would not be happy with this behaviour as he did seem a decent guy when he appeared on Johnathan Ross. Anyone would think Kanye was married to her? WTF?

    Video of Beyonce giving taylor a chance to say her piece.

    At least Taylor got the chance to have her moment. :)

    Perhaps but it makes fun of Kanye West not Patrick.


    He's an absolute moron though. Here's his quote after South Park destroyed him:
    SOUTH PARK MURDERED ME LAST NIGHT AND IT'S PRETTY FUNNY. IT HURTS MY FEELINGS BUT WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SOUTH PARK! I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY EGO THOUGH. HAVING THE CRAZY EGO IS PLAYED OUT AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. I USE TO USE IT TO BUILD UP MY ESTEEM WHEN NOBODY BELIEVED IN ME. NOW THAT PEOPLE DO BELIEVE AND SUPPORT MY MUSIC AND PRODUCTS THE BEST RESPONSE IS THANK YOU INSTEAD OF "I TOLD YOU SO!!!" IT'S COOL TO TALK **** WHEN YOU'RE RAPPING BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE. WHEN YOU MEET LITTLE WAYNE IN PERSON HE'S THE NICEST GUY FOR EXAMPLE. I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM. I NEED TO JUST GET PAST MYSELF. DROP THE BRAVADO AND JUST MAKE DOPE PRODUCT. EVERYTHING IS NOT THAT SERIOUS. AS LONG AS PEOPLE THINK I ACT LIKE A BITCH THIS TYPE OF **** WILL HAPPEN TO ME. I GOT A LONG ROAD AHEAD OF ME TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE I'M NOT ACTUALLY A HUGE DOUCHE BUT I'M UP FOR THE CHALLENGE. I'M SURE THE WRITERS AT SOUTH PARK ARE REALLY NICE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO DRAW MY CREW. THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY ALSO!! I'M SURE THERE'S GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN THIS... THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IT'S ME!


    He has a very short memory.

    She didn't because she's a classy girl. She should have though, it would have been brilliant! What a horrible guy to do that to her, she looked like she was going to burst in to tears. Respect to Beyonce for saving the day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 132 ✭✭Paddo81


    The man is a pr!ck who'd obviously do anything to get more publicity. Its kind of a funny that it takes a middle-class kid from Georgia who had anything he wanted growing up, to be a self-centred tw@t with no respect for others, while a reformed hoodlum like 50cent would have enough decency not to attempt something like this.

    I don't believe it was a setup, MTV wouldn't do that to Taylor Swift. The Eminem / Bruno incident was totally different. She was up accepting an award and he totally ruined her moment which was supposed to be a happy one.

    As for the camera being on Beyonce at that moment, they always have camera men zooming in on each artist that is nominated in the particular category when the result is announced to show their reaction. I don't think there is any conspiracy theory here. Kanye is an ass and I dunno wtf he was thinking going up saying that. I mean seriously - what WAS he thinking like?!!! Like why would you do that?! Beyonce looked mortified. Poor Taylor :(

    I'm so glad Beyonce got Taylor to come up again though.

    Speak for yourself! I thought Taylor Swift's video was better than Beyonce's. I didn't see all of the videos nominated, but the people voted, Taylor won. So no, he wasn't saying what we were all thinking.

    Ha, yeah poor Kanye. Thats 2 president in a row that think hes a 'jackass'

    I bet he though himself and Obama were soul brothers before he heard that.

    That's irrelevant. A lot of people thought Mickey Rourke should have won the Best Actor award earlier this year, but you didnt have some gobdaw jumping up on stage in the middle of Sean Penn's speech. Kanye wouldn have had the balls to do it if it was a man up there.

    If MTV had any balls, he would be barred from future events.
