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.
hmmm its to bad no one wants to go near kanye west to pull that giant stick outta his @ss... (see i typed kanye right this time, to all those incorrect spelling nazi's out there) Anyways kanye needs to learn to tie his mouth shut, because we couldn't care what he has to say anymore... I thought kanye west was a respectful person... but i guess i was wrong... I guess i also thought gay fish's couldn't talk either, but i was wrong on that category too.. Kanye west proved me wrong twice in one statement, good job..
He was totally out of order I think, I watched it on and there was Taylor, who I like. And if I was her, I'd feel so pissed off but also embarassed and upset. He had no right to do or say what he did. I'm just so happy at what Beyonce did for her, and that she was so nice about the whole situation.
