Kanye West's VMA Outburst for Beyonce

It wouldn't the the MTV VMA Awards without an outburst from Kanye West. So what did Kanye West do this year? The latest Kanye MTV Awards tirade came at the expense of country starlet Taylor Swift. As Taylor Swift was accepting the Best Female Video award for her hit "You Belong With Me," Kanye West stormed the stage and insisted that Beyonce's video "Single Ladies" was "one of the best videos of all time." 

After the Kanye West outburst at the 2009 MTV Awards, Taylor Swift didn't finish her speech and walked off the stage. Later on, Beyonce asked Taylor Swift to join her on stage to finish acceptance speech.

After the Kanye West outburst at the 2009 MTV VMAs, the rapper quickly apologized on his blog. 



West also addressed that, too, on his blog: "BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! ... EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO 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!!!! "

Yup, what more can we expect from Kanye West?  Beyonce sure is a class act though, here's the clip where she allows Taylor to have her moment.

Most will be happy to hear that Kanye was asked to leave Radio City Music Hall shortly after his rant.

West, of course, has a history of awards-show tirades, beginning in 2004 at the American Music Awards when he bolted during the show after losing out on Best New Artist and later telling reporters, "I felt like I was definitely robbed, and I refused to give any politically correct bullsh---ass comment ... I was the best new artist this year."

Can we learn how to spell? Taylor is very talented and Kanye thinks he's God! Why would you be a fan of somebody who tells the world how much better he is? He's so retarded! Taylor deserved that award, though I'm not saying Beyonce is not good, SHE DID NOT WIN! The opinion of Kanye is not the opinion of America or the world caue again TAYLOR WON because AMERICA VOTED!

What an IDIOT!!! Nothing but a crass, ignorant, neanderthal JERK!!! All he did was make himself look like the low class, low functioning dimwit that he obviously is. Taylor... YOU are a class act. You have REAL talent, and are a wonderful, inspiring, and indesputable role-model for girl, women, and all people everywhere! You deserve this more than anyone else I can think of. Keep shining like the true angel and muse that you are!! {{{{HUGS!!}}}}

Kanye needs to grow up already, if I'm not mistaken isn't this the third time he's done this already? I know about the Taylor Swift thing as well as him acting like a total JackA$$ when Evanescense won over him for Best Artist a few years ago, but I was also told that he had some childish outburst at the BET awards as well. He thinks WAAAAAAAAAAY too highly of himself, and someone needs to take his cocky A$$ down a few notches and knock him off of his self-built pedestal.  He isn't as great as he thinks he is, he completely screwed up a live performance on SNL last year and kind of laughed it off, and at least he was acting like he KNEW he wasn't perfect then. I've listened to all of his CDs and I personally think his first two where much better than the load of crap he's spewed out on his latest CD. The new one just sounds like S*#T, the lyrics aren't very creative and the actual music sounds like it was done by an amatuer. He has really gone downhill with his public outbursts, which just further prove his childlike behavior, his gawdy hideous outfits and sunglasses that he thinks are just the complete and total S*#t and the most stylish things ever, and with his music and videos as well, which are barely tolerable at best. I used to a fan of his music, I enjoyed his cds, but when he started acting like a giant cocky 3 year old who threw a fit every time he didn't get his way it completely turned me off to his music. My 4 year old son acts more mature when he doesn't get his way than Kanye does when he realizes that everyone doesn't see him as the "GOD" or "God's Gift" he apparently sees himself as being. You don't see any other artists out of any genre of music acting like this, it's just him. Granted alot of artists are cocky, have an unearned sense of self-importance, and act like everyone should just bend down and kiss their A$$es, you still don't see any of them walking up on stages, ranting and raving in the middle of someone else's speech, or actually telling audiences that THEY (the artist) deserved what someone else has or won. He really needs to be put in his place, I wish someone would walk up on stage while he is accepting an award (if he ever wins one) and starts screaming and kicking, throwing themselves around like he does, then maybe he would see how stupid he actually looks when he does this type of crap. Now that would be real entertainment, it would probably be all over YOU-TUBE and DVRs across the country being played over and over again within seconds.

How dare Kanye ruin Taylor's speech.  She won fair and square and just because she isn't strictly a "pop" singer, she was obviously nominated for the award for something? She is amazing and has had tons of hits.  Don't get me wrong Beyonce is an amazing artist also, but that's what happens.  People win, and people lose.  Kanye needs to grow up and stop thinking he's such hot stuff. He is an ass hole and will get crap for this for a LONG time.

It's not that we are judging anyone. It's that we need to have manners and self control. If we act like its OK for just anyone to interupt a persons speech or shining moment, there would be alot more trouble.

It's all about RACE, regardless of those that say otherwiese. It's all about race. Over 95% of Blacks voted for Obama; now tell me that's not recist. Kanye is a RACIST [period]

As how many % of whites voted for a white president????????? Not racism just asshole!!!

It not that 95% of black voters are racist, and to prove that for the last other 42 presidents which were white, black voted for a white president, COULDn't one black man make it for a change. I mean every since the country started it has been white presidents, I don't think blacks were being racist at all, they just wanted to see something different happen. Before obama, every American knew that a presidental election would take place every four years, for a fact, and every four years they would vote for there party democrat or republic, and they also KNEW for a fact that the nominees would be white no matter what party they supported. Racsiom among black towards whites does not really exsit, it is more racisom among other black, or black or black crimes than any case of hate, look it UP. It IS FAR MORE BLACK ON BLACK CRIMES, AND blacks that overfoold the Prison for those type of crime than any other crime. I just think in that case blacks came together for a change....

Kanye Quote "Beyonce's video "Single Ladies" was "one of the best videos of all time." This was not directed towards Taylor. This was direct insult to Micheal Jackson & his family. Taylor just happen to be a victim of circumstance. How ironic that he said this, while the world is still morning & honoring the greatest entertainer of all time.  Bey, Jay & Kanye planned this whole stunt trust me. Because Bey, Jay & Kanye believe they are the greatest entertainers of all time. Come on peope read in between the lines!

50cent or someone needs to put Kanye in his place, his head is growing too big, u just cant do that to other artists who obviously cant do anything. He should do it to the likes of fifty or rick ross, they will put him in his place. His outbursts r becoming clichè, childish and out of place. U aint funny Mr west..

Miss B was totally mortified. All I want to say is that, it just feels like Miss B was embarrassed and so she invited Taylor onstage. Kanye' had done a "good job", he spoiled the whole thing. Duh,nice to see that Miss B and the "kitten" Miss Taylor were okay. Feel happy with that.   Well, Kanye was really really really childish, real childish.            Though he did apologize.

i'm right

Only ignorant people would think that Kanye was in the right. Then again only ignorant people would spell "good" g-u-d. Kayne is known for his hostility involving award shows. Honestly, I wouldn't even nominate him. The truth is Taylor's songs are passionate and about something real. I think talent deserves an award over someone shaking her ass. Anyone can shake their ass. Not everyone can write and help produce such beautiful music. Kayne should get his head out of Beyonce's ass and realize how stupid he looks every time he opens his mouth. I admit, the man has talent... when he produces music. That's it. And that's all he should be allowed to do. End of story.

Oh Matt--you are truly ignorant.  You had to add that last sentence to your comment-didn't you?  You have just reminded me why a person like you makes me ashamed to be white.

Kanye was rude!! Yes, he can express his thoughts and feelings, but not when its Taylor's moment! He looked really stupid. Wonder what his mother thought about him acting like a child.

How could kanya be upset, him, jayz, beyoncee and every other modern day rapper, "idiots with no talent that are out for a quick dollar", all got where they are from ripping off white musicians with real talent. Its not hard to be a rapper, just ask every kid in the hood, there all gonna be rappers, when they sell enough drugs to buy a studio lol. Even ur presious black president called u a jackass, don't u all feel like fools now.

And about the whole obama being elected because 99% blacks voted. Let's face it if all whites voted for one and all blacks for the other, there still wouldn't be enough black votes too matter. White mothers with children in iraq made obama president, not blacks.
