Oh, Kanye West, you make my job so easy.
The rapper really classed it up tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards when he took the stage to interrupt Best Female Video winner Taylor Swift. Swift, who was in the middle of her speech, watched from the side as West made his own announced speech.

“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m [going to] let you finish — but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” Kanye said, pointing to a shocked Beyonce in the audience. The crowd turned on West and started booing. The rapper disappeared off stage, Swift looked ready to continue with her speech but the station cut to commercials.
Beyonce later invited Swift onstage to complete her speech. Classy move on Beyonce’s part. As for West, word is that he was kicked out from the rest of the show because of his outburst, earning a rare ejection from MTV. He later took to his own website to write his side of the event. He wrote in cap locks, of course.

With the audience, network and now many celebrities turning on Kanye, it might be a bit too late for apologies. We’ll see how this one pans out. It should make Kanye’s scheduled performance with Jay-Z for the premiere of The Jay Leno Show interesting
