Kanye West has managed to make an idiot out of himself on TV once again-this time at the VMA Awards (video below).
When Taylor Swift won Best Female Video for ‘You Belong With Me,’ Kanye jumped onstage, grabbed the mike from the country singer’s hands and opened his mouth: “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m a let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.” Swift had beat Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ for the award.
A flabbergasted Swift staggered and didn’t get to finish her acceptance speech. The crowd booed West, who shortly after was asked to leave the show and left the building.
Of course, some skeptics are already starting to wonder if this whole thing is just a publicity stunt organized by MTV, Swift and West in order to boost ratings for everyone. After all, the station is no stranger to controversy (Madonna kissing Britney, Seth Rogen and James Franco “smoking pot” at the MTV Movie Awards, etc).
Swift got a chance to recapture her time in the spotlight. Near the end of the evening, when Beyonce won video of the year for “Single Ladies,” the pop star promptly invited Swift out on stage to properly “have her moment.”
But it was too little, too late. Kanye West had again succeeded in making the event all about him.

We've been saying it for years: Kanye is an obnoxious waste of time whose ego far exceeds his talent (and common sense). Anybody else ready to boycott this loser now?

Hate to say it but we need to boycott Jay Leno tonight if he has Kanye West on his show. JayZ and Beyonce are to be on there which is great as they are a class act. But Kanye West - what an attention grabbing jerk! I plan not to watch - he’s just getting one more time to draw attention to himself.
Tom added...
He has no class and respect for his fellow artist. I would like to see him try that stunt with 50 cent. You think he would humble himself after his family lost. Will not ever watch or purchase anything that he is attached to. BOYCOTT THIS JERK!!

I for one agree. I have disliked him from the start but only started hating him in the past couple of years. He is a overconcieted, pompus, no good waste of time. I mean he always screams he is the best and to look at him. If he is really everything he is claiming to be then why doesn’t sell over a million copies in one week like lil wayne did las year when he released his album. I mean damn if you really are talented the the talent will speak for itself and then there will be no need for the stupid bulls— that even my two year old wouldn’t do which is something I would expect a child to do. Pretty damn sad for you kayne west. Pretty damn sad when a two year can behave and be more respectful than you ever have been. pretty damn sad and pathetic for you

I agree!! It’s time to boycott him! He has no class, no respect, and has NO talent. Is it jealousy, a racial issue, or is he just out of his mind?? Who knows and quite honestly who cares? What he did was disgusting and heartless. I don’t think it was a publicity stunt. You can see in Taylor’s face, she was hurt. He is just worthless. I understand he is entitled to his opinion, I don’t deny anyone that, the difference is there is a time and a place to voice it. The way he ruined her time to shine was just down right horrible. He is a sad excuse of a human being, and it’s time they get rid of him. I’m sorry to bust his bubble, but he is NO God! At least Beyonce had enough class to allow her to finish her speech. GET RID OF KANYE ALREADY!!!!

Kanye West is a total A-hole! He does not possess one ounce of respect for anyone and was not even raised with basic social skills apparently. What is his problem? I have never liked him and I hope everyone who ever was a fan of his, will now put him in the same class as Chris Brown and Speidi. We need to ban, boycott or erase any trace of this jerk. His arrogance is unbelievable!
dayn says...

I agree with the boycott! MTV is making a totally ass out of these artists by exploiting them promoting this nonsence! They are too dumb to realize that. If Kanye has a decent bone in his body, he would apologize for the ignorance.

Kanye is a has-been, washed up, waste of space who needs to jump on stage and steal air time to be seen and heard.
he is an ignorant, piece of dog waste….i hope everyone refrains from giving this piece of sludge any of their hard earned money. Stupid dumba$$es like kanye only understand money. do not give him any of yours.
he is also a racist pig clearly. Taylor deserved better.
Beyonce is a class act….good for her. I now only like her more than i did before.
Go away kanye…youre irrelevant and so is your “music”

Kanye West is a waste of fresh air. Trailer trash. Ban him from any future events such as this. He is an insult to the entertainment community. Wish they would all get together and boycott. It’s either them or Kanye West. He is scum and clearly doesn’t know any better. But surely at his age he should have picked up a little bit of etiquette at least. Hope his mother isn’t around to witness this absolutely horrendous behavious (x 3).
Karen added...
Kanye’s a jerk, but you still shouldn’t say mean things about his (dead) mother.She died in a plastic surgery mishap… Doctor Who Operated On Kanye West’s Mom Loses License

mary added...
while i agree with you the part about the mother should have more carefully thought about. Since it seemed like you didn’t know, i won’t ride you that hard. However, in all fairness it was all over the news and everything that his mom died at least a year and half ago from complications to surgery

Boycott. don’t just say it, really control your dollar and boycott not only Kanye and his productions but any sponsors he has. Don’t buy or attend anything that includes this jerk.

09.14.09 12:28 pm
Yup. Boycotting everything involved with this douchebag. Every single f—— thing. He can go eat some goddamn fishsticks for all I care. Ugh what a piece of trash. It’s a shame his mother isn’t still around because somebody needs to really get in his face and slap him.

09.14.09 1:32 pm
I was wondering how long it would some people to finally figure out how racist he actually is. That’s the only good thing out of what he did. I wonder if he knows how to flip burgers. He want to start practicing.
DJ added...
You sound dumb. Racist?? Are you people serious? Please got to school and find out what real racist do….they don’t interruot a lil VMA award speech lmao…He was wrong, just a lil drunk, any one that drinks should understand how you can be capable of doing dumb things under the influence. Kanye is not a racist, he made a poor decision that is all. Don’t be quick to judge, for ye too shuld be judged in that magnitude.

This douche bag needs to quit already. I cant stand him, I never was able to stand him, he is racist as all can be. I can only imagine if a white artist wouldve gone on stage if he was accepting an award and said “oh btw kanye, im really happy for you but YOUR MUSIC REALLY BLOWS jay z shouldve won”
No one cares what he thinks. And way to ruin the highlight of a new artists career.

Congrats to Taylor on her award =D You deserve it girl!! I love her music. Very mature aswell to deal with this the way she did. I would pushed his sorry arse off the stage. What kind of man publicly humiliates a 19 year old girl? Its disgusting. Ive got no more of his music on my computer. I don’t think I can enjoy it anymore.

09.16.09 6:58 pm
You people are so retarded, and I promise you won’t be able to boycott him. You fools even if he didn’t rap he produces for some of your favorite artists!!! Do your research, he produces rock, rap, pop,etc. I.e check the production on each of the records you’re listening to to make sure you boycott him lmao smh…you people sound so stupid. You really think a mtv award show would ruin somebody’s career??? I laugh!! ANd racist? ummmm no, a—— maybe but never a racist, his actions weren’t motivated by race idiots. Think about it, Beyonce wins video of the year but doesn’t win in her respective category…un huh that makes a lot of sense righttt. No. Basically what Kanye said is true, there’s just a time and place to say everything. He knows better and he will improve and be even better than before trust!! Love you Kanye

you are the idiot…..You sound dumb as hell. Think about it, a boycott?? for what? Artist do dumb things all the time. You act as if he did something violent. I like Taylor Swift actually but it wasn’t that big of a deal. Get a life and move on. If you don’t like his music than oh well….but guess what I bet he still has more money than you will ever have…still livin the GOOD LIFE!! So hate on that HATER!!!!

Well “DJ” you prove the theory that the speed of “light verses sound” to be wrong. You might look intelligent but then you open your dumb mouth and the sound ovcerwhelms everything. By the way just for yor info….”NO” WEST doesn’t have more money then me. BET ME!!!! Why boycott? Well sweetheart Boycotts are a proven way to CHANGE the UN-CHANGEABLE. The U.S has used boycotts from our very existance. Kennedy used it to “STOP” world war THREE. Many consumer groups use it to “STOP” illegal practices, and ordinary people can use it to “STOP” some idiot freak of nature (WEST) from showing how many “shit for brains” fans…(you for example) there are. Have you ever though of being the “PRO-ABORTION POSTER CHILD”. Yes People do dumb things, However WEST seems to spend his time on Earth PRACTICING how to do it better than any other. Certain things CANNOT be reversed by a Bullshit appology. Your first kiss, your first Date, Your first Child or in my case GRANDCHILDREN, or in Taylors case her FIRST major award. That piece of shit took away from her something she can NEVER EXPERIENCE AGAIN! He didn’t just do it because he was he’s a shit faced drunk, he is also a PROVEN RACIST asshole striking out against a White Girl winning over his BLACK GODDESS. Although she did not provoke it, he used her, without consent to put the spotlight on a BLACK over WHITE wanna be world. He deserves no less than a complete and total Boycott of his worthless life.

And by the way DJ, Iv’e been in this business since 1965. Probably way longer than you or your Idiot idol were even a drip from your daddy’s dipstick. I’ve seen more crap than you will ever probably concieve upsatirs. However never have I seen such a BLATANT DISREGARD for a fellow entertainer with “PURE MALICIOUS INTENT” as displayed by your “Dreamy eyed girl” Idol. There is a reason that YOU seem to be the ONLY comment that isn’t calling for a Boycott or Reprisal, Could it be so that EVERYBODY else is the fool or are you the sole savior in West’s future…..Good Luck!
