Kanye West
It was pointed out to me that I am a little slow on this story by Crazykey123.
Kanye West jumped on stage and interrupted Taylor Swift as she was receiving an award at the Video Music Awards. He said that Beyonce deserved the award instead.
Here is the video. Here is the link if you can’t get the video: Link

What a douchebag.
Good job, Dan. Good job.
i wish he’d just burn out already.
yah i noticed about 6.3 billion facebook statuses change so i thot i’d skim the old xangaroo … he’s just a classless, disrespectful person, i believe. that, or he’s an adament believer of “there’s no such thing as bad publicity”
idk. but i think kanye is a fucking FOOL. he interrupted taylor, and she’s really just a kid. she’s so timid and it was her first vma award?? way to go asshole. then to top it off beyonce gets video of the year some odd minutes later. that made him look even more foolish. none of his fellow celebrities are backing him up either. i do love how beyonce invited taylor swift back on stage tho. very sweet.
I don’t know who is, but let me tell you that was a CLASSLESS act.
George Bush hates black people…A such a famous line from good old Kanye.
He should just drop off the face of the earth…i’d hate to be beyonce…
Boooooooooo Kayne! What a loser.
I’d have to go with Kanye, I’ve thought that for a while. He has a bad record of saying really stupid things. He’s an amazing performer though.
Ha, Kanye*
I felt so sorry for Taylor. She’s so young. She looked so sad.
Well Kanye is not a musician. I dont know.
Kanye hands down. What a douche.
I cant believe he would ruin her moment like that
Lol, what a douche.
@caminjammers - Yeah. I’m not a Taylor Swift fan by any stretch of the imagination but I thought that was great of her to do that. At least she had the decency to show some class unlike that dickhead.
Kanye was just upset that some people, like Taylor, don’t need to use auto-tune when they’re singing.
That video just made me so sad.
well to be honest he didnt say SHE deserved the award.. just renamed the award to something else hahaha
either way that was not the time nor place.. so uncalled for…
lol i was just watching this. some people said it was staged, wtf? lol look at taylor swift’s face afterwards
W T F . . . ! ! !
Poor girl. She was just kind of standing there like, “Okay.. what do I do now?”
It’s almost like he lost a bet, or was setting up a surprise party in his pants for Beyonce’s big win. Who knows? At least he didn’t bring out the race card.
He made himself look like an ass by doing that. That guy is an idiot.
All this talk bashing him and yet he just did something so powerfully effective at drawing attention that his name and likeness are sprawled out all over the internet right now. And as the marketing people say, any press is good press.
as a musician.. i’ll say he has good beats and he’s alrite. as a person, he is grade A trash. very rude and full of himself like he’s god’s gift to the world. ugh, its disgusting
so rude and so arrogant… i thought taylor was gonna cry…
i remembered a couple of years back, when he didn’t get an award… he went on about it for like a week…
@abilene_piper_lg - yep! definitely a high light.
I’m glad that the audience reacted appropriately.
Ahhh. “Kanye” not “Kayne” >.< But I believe that’s already been pointed out.
@rainingclouds - same here.
I wrote an anti Kanye post, but I’m waiting until tomorrow to post it cause my last post is getting more traffic than usual
and in response to your post – obviously Kanye. my reasons are explained on my post though, so I can’t leak those out ;D
I predict his sales will go down cause of this…just like Chris Brown.
I don’t know if Kanye can really be considered a musician, but he did just prove himself to be both an idiot and a perianal aperture.
omg I wasnt even trying to find it, and yet I saw it on FB and now on xanga…
I dotn have tv… and I am in South America, so MTV wont let me watch the video embedded in this post.
@XxRainyxMondayxX - yeah I agree, Taylor was like: … What should I do? *stands on stage awkwardly..
But I love what Beyonce did
I just feel bad for the girl. She looked so mortified, and for any musician, that’s a big moment. To have some jerk pull a stunt like that is just…well as some have said, classless.
Kanye is a bit of a douche, but I can’t stand Taylor Swift, so… they tie.
wow.. what a fool…
wow, what a dbag
kanye is high up there on that list.
@LayOceanBoi4 - if you look at his apology to taylor swift, he is still going on about how he let outcast get HIS award. God of allo the people up on earth that are full of it… he takes the cake.
Awful what he did to that girl…
Someone wrote a joke artical about Kanye, but I think that man might literally be retarded.
for a minute there i expected him to challenge her for the WWE championship. too bad someone didnt come up and hit him in the head with a folding chair.
@LayOceanBoi4 - Apparently she was bawling backstage.
He looked like an idiot.
Yes, I thought Beyonce should have gotten the award. But, what Kayne did up there was completely disrespectful. I’m glad Beyonce was kind enough to bring Taylor back up because she KNEW what it was like winning her first moon man when she was young.
I hated reading that people said that Kayne was just saying what he was thinking.
I also had a huge argument with my brother about this. My issue was that what Kanye did was unnecessary. He said that Kayne was doing the right thing and that Beyonce did deserve the award because her music was had variety compared to Taylor (Taylor was all sappy love songs and Beyonce had her songs and Sasha Fierce). I guess someone forgot what category it was.
I’m beginning to dislike mainstream music and those who follow it. They’re ignorant.
Kanye takes that award, hands down.
Kanye West is an asshole, but one of the smartest men in the universe. Attention is attention, good or bad, and he sure as hell has a shitload of people talking about him.
um kanye. I think he was pissed off that eminem got the hip hop one over him and basically that he didn’t win any of the ones he was nominated for, so he took it out on her. I honestly don’t think he would have done that if he won a few awards himself, I think that was just his way of saying indirectly that the judging wasn’t fair (his way of explaining why he didn’t win either) is my opinion. Although I do think Taylor’s video is not near good enough to win a VMA, I’m not a fan of her, and I think she even knows herself that she’s not that good by how shocked and humble she was when she got up there, but she still didn’t deserve that, she’s just a ditsy little girl Kanye is the bigger idiot. Beyonce handled that with a lot of class though, inviting Taylor back on stage, even though I’m sure Beyonce knows she’s the better artist, she is above that kind of shit. Go beyonce.
what a shithead
Does that make Kanye West the black Joe Wilson?
Beyonce sucks, though, haha.
Kanye is a major asshole. He is one of thoise guys that still thinks that because he is black, that the world owes him shit. Kanye grow some balls and man up, bitch. Taylor Swift is a sweetheart. THank you Beyonce for helping Taylor get some recognition for her award. Dan, thank you for sharing the clip.
maybe he’s trying to get into beyonce’s panties.. watch out jayz.
Kanye is as good a musician as he is a gentleman (in other words, neither). What a fucktard.
He gets a lot of douche points on that one.
beyonce even thought that was a bitch move of him.
that. was. horrible.
ugh!
omg. i still love his music, but his actions are atrocious. he needs to grow up. even beyonce was appauled.
I wish he would go away. And Lady Gaga too.
exactly..a douchebag!
wow.
that poor girl. it was her first vma and he completely screwed her out of what should have been a landmark moment in her career. i was so shocked as i was watching the show with my friend. i’ve always hated kanye and considered him a douche bag ever since his grammy apearance he won for golddigger or something. and he made off like her knew he was going to win.
taylor is america’s sweetheart the girl next door. she put on a kick ass show and def deserves the award.
Beyonce was very professional and lady like tonight when it came to taylor. She knew that it was wrong.
Isn’t there some sort of security why did they let that guy on stage? I noticed no one saw him or cut a camera to him the rest of the night so I’m assuming they escorted him out.
And since when are kanye west and beyonce amazing friends or something?
Team taylor
well the crowd stood in support of ms. taylor. and she learned a valuable lesson. kayne is an ass and watching that made me mad.
Oh my, that was bad… really baaaaad!!!! Poor Taylor
.
He could have chosen his moment better.
Right now, it’s between him and Serena Williams after her meltdown the other night. Embarrassing.
He’s like a living, breathing YouTube comment.
Kanye is one of those people that the world would not mourn if we were to lose him. I’ve wanted Kanye to disappear ever since he said he was a proud non-reader, and that “I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph.” This is after he proclaimed himself to be “The Voice of This Generation.” Somebody, please, put him down! Do it for the kids! Do it for the future!
i agree, you are slow
he should have waited, the video he was talking about won video of the year later that night…
That poor girl.Kayne was such a jerk to do that.It’s hard to believe his mother was an English professor.
I Am A BIG FANZ FOR KANYE= ]
This makes me love Taylor Swift all the more now. She was so cute on that stage before Kanye went up and disgraced himself…
he’s an asshole. and he thinks he’s corrected it by apologizing on his website. yeah, nice try kanye. you’re still a douchebag.
Kayne West is clueless and an idiot.
I was absolutely shocked at Kayne’s behavior. That was definately not the right thing to do. “I’m really happy for you. I’m gonna let you finish, but I just wanted to say that Beyonce has…” excuse me, who’s going to want to finish after that? uh. That was a public insult of the rudest kind. Not only did he interupt her and lie to her face, he drew the attention of the crowd away so that she didn’t get the award of having the audience show their appreciation and happiness for her work.
okay. that’s my ramble. I’m done.
Hahahaha, Dan, I love the question, there. Are there really any other options?
Apart from the fact that that makes him look like a jerk, that is really rude to Swift. Way to make a girl feel sucky.
And, hahaha (again), I didn’t know about this until your post, so you are not the slowest of all.
So now I get the video I just saw, where someone had mixed this incident with the Obama incident.
It’s pretty cool.
That… was so terrible. Kayne, fer sher.
there are much bigger douches in Hollywood, but Kanye is pathetic for trying to out-live his flavor-of-the-month billing. I can’t stand Taylor Swift, but I actually feel bad for her on this one.
There’s a lot of idiots out there. I don’t know much about Kanye, but he seems to be way too arrogant.
I don’t care for Mtv or their stupid award shows. They used to be somewhat watchable in the 1990′s. I wasn’t even aware that this thing was on last night. I just found out, and I’m fine with that.
I thought it was sad, I felt horribly for Taylor Swift. She’ll be OK….it will help her sales
I love Kanye West but I can’t believe how unreasonable that was…
He’s disgusting. I’d have to say he’s one of the biggest idiot musicians. Which is actually saying a lot because there are so many idiot musicians to pick from.
He’s such a moron…
My radio is talking about the story right now.
He’s such a douchebag! ♥
Kayne West is just a total effing idiot. MTV should have known better than to even let him in the door.
Kanye’s such a douche. I very intensely dislike him. He’s a poor excuse for a human being.
If i were Beyonce i would drag that guy into an alley and break all of his teeth. If i were Taylor Swift i would just cry (which is what it looked like she was about to do). So right now i would say Kayne West is the biggest idiot musician. It’s like his purpose was to come up with a way to look like an asshole.
What a total idiot. Calling him a jackass would be an insult to donkeys all around the world.
hahaha!! WOOOOWW!!! this video didn’t work but I went looking on Youtube. OMG that was funny. Kanye must be stopped. He’s crazy. I’m a fan but I mean damn. Someone should do it to him. Draggin’ Beyonce in on his mess haha wow Kanye wow.
kanye is an ass. i hate him, the damn pompous bastard.
What a douche. I think Don Imus tops them all.
he is being funny..
The dude’s full of himself and rude, but what else is new?
Hes an idiot. Big time…
Did you hear that he wants to be the next of Prince of Pop? Yeah. He wants to take over Michael Jackson title..Even asked the Jacksons for their blessing… Great eh? LOL He’ll never be that! Ever…..
lol This question is great!
He does something like this every year… I dont know why they continue to invite him to these events.
That guy, seriously annoys the… everything out of me. Not a fan of Taylor Swift but she got the award for a REASON, wow, that guy. I have no idea what that guys problem is.
he’s such an asshole.
and beyonce made him look even worse when she won an award and had taylor come up and finish her speech.
that’s the reason i don’t listen to his “music”
What a dumbass. Can we just kill him and get it over with?
I am not sure. . . Kanye is up there but we got some others. Whitney was up there but now she has calmed down. I would have said Courtney Cox but she got older so Kanye might actually with this one.
After that incident, Kanye gets my vote. Kudos to Beyonce for giving Taylor her moment.
what a douchebag…
omg, the guy with the same birthday as me is such a letdown to people with the same birthday as me. kidding.
Kanye West is a rude arrogant phuquewhit!
If the VMAs have a Biggest Idiot award, that guy should get it.
I really don’t like Kanye. Hes a dick. Did anyone else know that hes actually racist towards white people? I only found out a few months ago.
Kayne: this is your brain on drugs.
what a jerk.
I don’t even like Taylor and I felt horrible for her. Just because you have a lot of money, it doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole. Imagine if someone did that to him, he’d throw a fit.
WTF Kanye. WTF.
@vwagenjetta - haha. That’s what I thought too.
Oh wow to that video.
As for who the biggest idiot musician is, I’d probably have to give that one to Kanye. He’s just absolutely ridiculous.
Michael Jackson
I feel sad for Taylor. She was shocked on the stage.
Poor Taylor, she actually said when Kanye first jumped on stage she was excited, but then she just wasn’t excited anymore. I mean, how would he have liked it if someone had ever done something like that to him? Beyonce on the other hand is a very nice person to have let Taylor up on stage again and Taylor was also very pleased that Beyonce did that for her. (:
he has no class at all. Someone should’ve got up on stage and knocked him out.
the word “douche” is sure used a lot here. does anyone ever picture that word? so – is it the after effects of the douche? which part of the douche is kanye? i mean we could call him an enema and that leaves a little color to the imagery. douche bag. gross.
I didn’t know he still existed? Haha. I haven’t heard anything from that idiot in a while. Shame he showed up again.
I’m really glad Beyonce did what she did though; it showed that she wasn’t a tactless, classless loser like Kanye West.
Would he drop dead or something. Seriously.
Kayne West is a idiot! I can’t believe he ruin Taylor’s moment! That poor girl! She did not deserve that!
he is so ignorant! i hate ignorant people.
Fans vote not the artists, he should know that. He’s where he is because he has fans, who does he think buys his albums
i like katy perry’s quote…”its like he stepped on a kitten”
jerk =_=
Wow. That is ridiculous.
As for the question, it’s not really relevant since no musicians did anything dumb in that video. Kanye West is, in fact, an idiot, but not a musician.
wtf? poor taylor.
Way to give him the attention he was desperately seeking.
Can we even call him a musician? He just talks over a cheap midi file. I can’t stand this dude. What is he doing at Mtv anyway? I thought he was going to boycott Mtv. He’s just all talk.
Hahahaha, I love this question.
The speechless shock on Taylor’s face made me almost cry. I wanted to reach into the TV and strangle Kanye. Thank goodness I’ve never voted for him!
Oh Kanye, what an asshat
@IntheGoldenWest - HAHA agreed!
i haven’t watched tv in 3 years so everything that has to do with television doesn’t apply to me. But when i heard about this from my friend, i was stunned that he’d commit such a dick move
No matter way we look at it, whether or not you’re a Taylor fan or a Kanye fan, you can’t deny that it was completely uncalled for.
For this, Kanye, you’re getting my vote. Total douchebag.(and even if this WAS a publicity stunt, it’s a pathetic stunt)
She’s like 19 wins a award she didn’t think she would win only to get stood up by a guy that can’t even sing that good to say that someone else should have won and walk off, and making her stand there shocked about what happened not knowing what to do…..Man I hate that guy.
Oh, I don’t know. Kanye still has some way to go to catch Ted Nugent in terms of pure idiocy.
If I were Beyonce, I would be so embarrassed
not a fan of beyonce or taylor swift. but that’s just rude kanye, plain rude.
personally, the videos i’ve watched from beyonce recently is just boring. it is cool at first, but the song was too repetitive and it dragged the video on…
Just another lifelife scumbag that thinks because I”m Black I DESERVE it more then a white person just because there is a black president all of a sudden some… SOME think they deserve special treatment. What everhappen to that guy that said we where to judge aperson by there caractor and not the color of there skin? Oh where not going to bring Mr King in to this. It dosn’t benifit a black person at this time.
can we just kill him and move on with our lives yet?
He totally messed up, but it sounds like in retrospect he definitely knew what he did was wrong. Check out this article and the video of him on the Leno show: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1621529/20090914/west_kanye.jhtml
Staged.
Kanye’s an attention whore.
