Kanye West is known for speaking his mind and early on during the VMAs, he didn't disappoint.
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 did what he does best.
"Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'm a [sic] let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time," he yelled, to many boos. Swift had beat Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' for the award. And according to an MTV source, Kanye is getting booted from the show for his actions. Watch It Happen

My son always idolized Kayne West, however, I showed this to him and as Taylor and Beyonce, he was utterly shocked. It just goes to show when you pull a stunt like this on national tv many of your fans are watching and will pull the plug on your sales!
He is a classless loser. Will never buy his stuff again. This show was a tribute to Michael Jackson and Kanye should be ashamed of his sorry ass. Totally embarrassing to all cultures.
There is nothing wrong with speaking your mind and having your opinions, this IS America, BUT you have a little human decency and try to keep it to yourself if it is only going to deliberately hurt someone and will do no good to say. I don't care for Taylor Swift but what he did was cruel, uncalled for and inexcusable and I will not listen to him, I will turn the radio to another station if he is on and I hope others do the same. This man is nasty, ignorant and useless.
If I am correct... wasn't it Kanye himself that was quoted for saying "now that the King of Pop is dead I should hold that title". I heard that on the radio just a few days after Michael Jackson died.I feel sorry for him I think he may have lost it!
I never buy anybody's music. Man will disappoint at every call. Don't make them rich by buying all that nonsense they call music anyway, then you want feel so bad when, and they will, say something to make them look like a fool.
Kat! I agree with you. All he did was spoke his mind. Im sick and tired of people being afraid to speak their mind because of the media. He knew what could possibly happen before he went out on stage and said anything. He just step out of being a celebrity for and second and spoke on behalf of millions of other fans that was probably thinking the same. He just had the access to get it out, lol!!! I too agree with him. Beyonces video is the GREATEST!!! U guys all know the magnitude of this video. That video is HOT!!! I saw a group of Senior Citizen women dance a routine to this song as part of their aerobics and a group of high school seniors perform this song at their dance recital. Her moves, her style, and her songs: are enjoyed by women of all ages. It makes us fell young, sexy,and beautiful. Some you agree, u are just upset about the way he stole Taylors moment and embarrass her like that. He shouldve waited until she finish her speech!!!!And people please stop referring to her as a lil 19 year old girl , Taylor is a grown woman. Yall making it like he did that to a 10 year old. He just welcomed he to the real adult world. She'll be OK!!!
This had nothing to do with cultures. This has to do with kanye's personal opinion, which i agree with. he just should have waited until someone asked his opinion.
I agree!! The man has no respect really. How disappointing was that!!! Definition of Kayne West=Rude He's entitled to his opinion but what the hell is wrong with him...Taylor is in the middle of her speech.
i never liked that aswipe from the start when he also stated on national television that persident Bush didnt like black ppl.. what kind of an ass remark is that?? now he interrupted a young girl on stage. also i think beonce has more class in her litle finger than that IDIOT kenya west... props to you Beonce and taylor... and Kenya get a life like we say in spanish Comemierda!!!
WOW!!! Nevermind, You all may want te read the rest of the comments. Bottom line, he needs to stay off the shows Congrats Taylor, hopefully next time you won't have the Idiot there to Interupt you. Chow for the night.
You need Jesus for your anger issues and hate issues for people you dont know. He was wrong and stupid he shamed the black people and you have shamed us white. You and kaye are just alike.
I think that both Taylor Swift and Beyonce are class acts and extremely talented young women. Kanye West obviously has substance abuse problem. Freedom of speech and excessive consumption of alcohol, especially in a public format do not mix. I think this young man misses his mother who died. He is seeking direction and he won't be finding it in the bottom of a bottle. Kudos to Beyonce for sharing her moment with Taylor. They will undoubtably continue to grow in their careers. Kanye however may have started the end of his career as he's known it.
Cameo, i think your view is a little obscured. I am or was a Kanye fan, I think his rants and antics on and off the camera are pretty intertaining. Even his fans know he is so full of himself, but we figure..hey.. that's just Kanye. BUT....when u are as big as Kanye, you don't bully a teenage girl for getting her first VMA....wow man, like at least interrupt someone that can even defend themselves or that has even been in the industry a while or even mature enough to deal with your egotistical BS. I'm not a fan anymore, that pretty much was an all time low on your part, and whoever condones what he did, or just shy's it off like no big deal, you people are heartless, selfish pos's that I'm glad I do not know in person.

That's what happens when you get paid millions to run your mouth for a living.
