Last night country singer Taylor Swift won for &#8220;Best Female Video&#8221; and went up to accept her award. In the middle of her speech Kanye West walked out on the stage, took the mic from her, told her that he was going to &#8220;let her finish,&#8221; then said something about how Beyonce had made the best video that year. I guess he was upset that Beyonce hadn&#8217;t won and wanted to let everyone know this in the middle of the winner&#8217;s speech.<\/p>\n<p>That is some goddamn bullshit, Kanye.<\/p>\n<p>Later on that night Beyonce did win the &#8220;Best Video&#8221; award and said that when she was 17 and up for her first VMA is was one of the most wonderful moments of her life. Then she invited Taylor to come on stage and have her moment. I&#8217;m not a big fan of Beyonce but that right there shows a lot of class. Whereas Kanye showed he has NONE.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, WTF Kanye? I am just as eager as you to have my favorite artists or friends win awards. But never would I ever consider interrupting an acceptance speech to give that opinion. Beyonce certainly didn&#8217;t seem to appreciate that, and who would? That&#8217;s not at all cool.<\/p>\n<p>Kanye is known for being a bad boy and opinionated and I&#8217;ve always appreciated him for being outspoken and for saying on TV &#8220;George Bush doesn&#8217;t care about black people.&#8221; But that is an entirely different thing from this.<\/p>\n<p>I know Kanye has pulled some award show antics before, but I wonder if he would consider doing that kind of thing to another male artist. Like to run up on Jay-Z, pull the mic, and shout &#8220;50 Cent made the best rap video this year and y&#8217;all are punks for not recognizing!&#8221; Or even pulling the mic from John Mayer to give his love to Maroon 5.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, that is just some bullshit. In know his mother gave him some better home training than that. The line between bad boy and public asshole has now been crossed. Brother man would do best to step back on the other side.<\/p>\n<p><h4>And now a word from our sponsor&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p><!-- Beginning of Project Wonderful ad code: --><br \/>\n<!-- Ad box ID: 38358 --><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"468\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tr>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.projectwonderful.com\/nojs.php?id=38358&amp;type=1\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" colspan=\"1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.projectwonderful.com\/advertisehere.php?id=38358&amp;type=1\">Your ad could be here, right now.<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"1\" valign=\"top\" width=\"468\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- End of Project Wonderful ad code. --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theangryblackwoman.com\/2009\/09\/14\/kanye-west-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you\/\">Kanye West, What The Hell Is Wrong With You?<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"tweetmeme_button\"><a href=\"http:\/\/api.tweetmeme.com\/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheangryblackwoman.com%2F2009%2F09%2F14%2Fkanye-west-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you%2F\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/api.tweetmeme.com\/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftheangryblackwoman.com%2F2009%2F09%2F14%2Fkanye-west-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you%2F\" height=\"61\" width=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"postavatar\" src=\"http:\/\/theangryblackwoman.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/icons\/abw.jpg\" width=\"87\" height=\"100\" alt=\"kanye-west-what-the-hell-is-wrong-with-you\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><br \/>\nFor those of you who, like me, don&#8217;t watch the MTV Video Music Awards, you may have missed a little tidbit.
