Kanye Apologizes For Swift Debacle... But Is It Too Late?
By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 14th 2009 07:33AM
Kanye West is "SOOOOO SORRY" for interrupting Taylor Swift at Sunday's VMAs. "I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment," he wrote. "Beyonce's video was the best of this decade . . . I'm sorry to my fans if I let you guys down . . . I'm sorry to my friends at MTV . . . I will apologize to Taylor," he wrote on his official blog. But celebrities are lashing out at the 'Stronger' singer for stealing Swift's moment. And judging by the photos below, it seems Kanye had a bit of liquid encouragement prior to his controversial crash.

"F--k u Kanye. It's like you stepped on a kitten," singer Katy Perry wrote on her Twitter during the show.

"I'm still very happy for Taylor," West wrote. "I really feel bad for Taylor and I'm sincerely sorry," West added.
Swift is taking it all in stride and still a little shocked by the whole ordeal. "I was standing on stage and I was really excited because I'd just won the award and then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage," Swift said after the show to PEOPLE. "And then I wasn't excited anymore after that."
What's left now is to see if there's any major impact on West's career. Tracey Ford, editor of the hip-hop site The Boombox, says that Kanye isn't down for the count.
"Considering Kanye has already built a reputation as a loose cannon, I doubt his fans will turn against him for this debacle. As far as artists are concerned, Kanye would be the one person who could get away with a tirade like this without harming his career," says Ford.

"It's certainly not the first time the he has lost his cool. It's almost his M.O. at this point. The entertainment industry may not forgive him for this particular rant, but Kanye has been the artist/rapper people love to hate for awhile now." More on West's Backstage Drama From Boombox >>>

There are alot of white people that act the same way...all you have to do is pick up a history book. And by the way there are white monkeys as well.
Ur such an ass ur jus as ignorant as Kanye
That is exactly why I channel surf during this "award" show. It's become a spectacle of bad behavior, not a showcase for artists and music. Good musicians are truly the afterthought not the forethought of this production.

Somebody should smack Kanye upside his head with that bottle of his
I think Kanye has let his fame go to his head. I think he is rude and disrespectful. When he won for the first time no one did that to him. What makes him think he has the right to do that to Taylor Swift. If you can't handle your liquor in public take you sorry butt home and drink. I didn't care for Kanye when he said he wanted to be bigger then Elvis. You have to work hard, have tons of hits. and fans that stay with you thru your career. The way he has been acting isn't going to get him nowhere close to being as big as Elvis.
Kanye is a selfish arrogant idiot of a drunk who does not even deserve his fame and fortune. You would think his fans would have realized what a waste of space this guy is already. Taylor Swift has more talent in her pinky than he does in his entire body. At least she can sing and it comes from the heart unlike most of his trash. If it were him up there saying his thank you's..you KNOW he wouldn't have put up with someone takin his mic and insulting him the way he did her.

You are right. I don't watch ANY AWARD SHOWS ANY MORE. NONE
That guy will never git my money again after stepping on that poor defenseless little kitten.
not good
When you look at the big picture Kanye is a classless individual with no grace, dignity or respect for his fellow human beings. He is not worth the controvery. He will eventually fade and not be remembered.
Yo Kanye, I am one of your biggest fans. But man!!! How could you be so heartless?
He may hate white people, and that's ok, but I bet at some point in time, a white person had something to do with him becoming rich.
This is to brewster. how can you imply that Obama is Racist his mother is white. that is just an ignorant thing to say. yes Kanye was an @ss but what did that have to do with Obama?
I wholeheatedly agree with you. If there's going to be an award show, dress for the occasion, and show you're worthy of being there by exercising self-restraint, dignity, and class. It's just ridiculous to witness how mindless some of these self-centered celebrities are.
It hurt me what Kanye did, I can't imagine how she must of felt. I will never listen to another one of his songs.
I think he needs to be banned from all award shows. Totaly no class. He's done.
The thing about Kanye is this is who he is. If people want to change his behaviors (which they don't because is only behaving the way people have allowed him to behave for soooo long), all they have to do is stop listening to his music. I think his behavior is kind of funny I like his arrogance matter of fact his arrogance to me is more appealing than most of his music.
i havent watched the award show the past 2 years and probably never will but i will NEVER buy anything by Kanye west if a song comes on the radio i will change the station and call them to let them know i changed it thats how strongly i feel about this jerk wish everyone would do the same
Kanye is just a low class idiot. What he did was just wrong ~ YES Beyonce had a great video, IT WON VIDEO OF THE YEAR. She is a class act and gave her shining moment back over to Taylor Swift.
MTV VMA's have become a joke!! Kayne is not someone to respect. That kind of behavior is exactly what is being preached by EVERYONE is the wrong behavior and yet you talk about it's ok because "That's Him" that's how he is and it's ok? That kind of ignorance and disrespect will never be ok because other children see this crap and think "it's ok" and because he is a famous person nothing will be done to him. It's not a racist situation it's called STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE AND DISRESPECT!!!! Get off the racist stuff!!! If you want to talk racist, then think about this, Kayne's ignorant behavior is exactly why the "N" word will never go away.
