During the 2007 VMAs in Las Vegas, West delivered another rant and lost his temper after he was displeased with his performance being set inside a hotel suite rather than on the show's main stage.
'Ye's rants are usually in support of his own work. He memorably took the stage at the American Music Awards in 2004, declaring he was robbed of the Best New Artist nod.
His protest against Swift, however, was not well received. West stood briefly on the stage after his comments as the crowd was silent. Audience members then began to clap in support of Swift after West left the stage.
According to reports from inside the house, once cameras cut away from the action, West flipped off the crowd and returned to his seat. Wale then said to the crowd, "You can't blame a man for speaking his mind." His words were met with boos, and Wale then said, "Kanye, I tried." During the next commercial break, Pink walked by the rapper and appeared to shake her head in disgust before security escorted her away. West remained steadfast amidst the commotion as he kissed his girlfriend Amber Rose.
What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we're all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like sh*t.
I mean, I've seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It's absolutely fascinating how much I don't like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you which is pretty odd since I don't even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren't even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??
I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her ... so why can't you be?? I'm not even mad at you for being an asshole ... I just pity you because you're a sad human being.
On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!
Taylor Swift, you outsell him ...that's why he's bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!
GO KAYNE!!!!! that my nigg right there he was crazy I'll admit but dude did what he did and I'm ok with it Beyonce should a won that award and Kayne should a won that award instead of T.I.

Oh that's complete bullshet, first of all, he upstaged Taylor and freaking shouted that Beyonce should've won. He shouldn't have done that in front of millions of people. See now even the Gladiators say that if they ever see him, they'll freaking kill him.
I don't care at all about the situation in which it happened, but I think it's pretty sad that there are people like him who can be so jealous. It's especially stupid because Kanye felt the need to speak out for Beyonce, like she can't do it herself.
Kind of reminds me of that guy who yelled "you lie!" at the president.
I think he was a total jerk there. I mean, I get that he thinks that Beyonce should have won, and that's fine, but to interrupt Swift's acceptance speech to shout to millions of people that Beyonce should have won...that was just an a** thing to do. What a jealous jerk. I'm glad that Beyonce took it so well, and let Swift talk.
Taylor needs to grow up and realize she's gonna be in these situations again and again. This isn't one big love story. Kanye West is so funny because Beyonce is so much better.
I thought kayne west wasway out of line to do that to taylor swift. I feel sorry for taylor because of the embarrassment she must have felt when kayne said Beyonce's single ladies was better, which it wasn't.
