We are all too familiar of the outlandish antics of rapper/ producer Kanye West. Last nights episode at the MTV Video Music Awards was no exception. Though the night was meant to be a celebration of homage to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, West manages to steal the show. Shortly after teen country singer Taylor Swift begins to make her acceptance speech for winning Best Female Video of the Year, who was up against veterans like Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Beyonce Knowles. Kanye west rushes the stage, snatching the microphone from Swifts hand declaring that Beyonce should have snagged the award. Knowles, who was already up for 9 awards was in shock. West was then escorted back stage where medias recorded him having a melt down. West has apologized to Swift and fans for his behavior. Beyonce won Best Video of the Year, only to cut her own acceptance speech short and allow Taylor Swift to finish hers. Publicity stunt, could have been.

Kanye, Kanye - where are your manners?
Posted By InspectorGadget InspectorGadget | 2 months ago
I thought it was a publicity stunt at first also, but I don't think it is any more. Why would he agree to create more negative publicity for himself? What he did was wrong and uncalled for, and there is no excuse for it. However, everyone makes mistakes, and his apology seemed sincere. I feel bad for Taylor Swift. She deserves the award and she also deserves a lot of credit for handling the situation so well.

I htin Kanye has just gotten really bad at dealing with fame: maybe he should lighten up; he came on Leno crying and saying he needed a break; mabe he does need a break and to stop thinking about himself so much all the time; doing some charity work and maybe he'll feel better.

Kayne was called an idiot by President Barack Obama, this is a clear instance where even he heard how big a fool Kayne was being. Lesson for Kayne to be learned.......Leave the Hennessy at home!

so that was what all the fuss was about...I had heard rumors, but wasn't sure why he was crying on Leno last night. I'm glad I break my ass to make a living so I don't become a nut job like him!

Kanye is a mannerless disrespectful idiot, and if he ever does something like that again, someone needs to punch his lights out.

West,

Please come out of the dark, you are in a bad place and this is your cry for help. Kayne is hurting and missing his mother, she had his back and would listen to him and all of his misplaced distemperments. Kanye do not blow things in your very young life time. Do not be afraid to ask for help, stop ranting and raving this is not of good character. Also, read 1st Corintians 13: Stop trying to please people, you have a brain and good looks. God spared your life and now your mother is an angel watching everything you do. You have been blessed with many things even though some things as precious as your mother was taken from you. Your mother is still around you in spirit. God bless you countless times, now you need to be a blessing to others. My advise is to do it wisely. I am old enough to be your mother so if you want to email me in confidence do so dewash24@yahoo.com God bless you, keep the faith and be strong. Do not waste your talents that you have been blessed with. As a mother I am glad you apologized, now take some time and meditate each day for (40) days. Always tell yourself that only God is present here. Agage Dee
