Beyonce Comments on Kanye West Controversy
Beyonce has finally spoken out about the night Kanye West crashed Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs in September.
Kanye came under fire for storming the stage during Swift’s big moment as she was being presented with the Best Female Video prize.
The rapper grabbed the microphone and told the star-studded audience that Beyonce should have won. “Yo Taylor,” Kanye said, “I’m really happy for you and I’ma let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time!”
West has since apologized for his actions.
Speaking to Gayle King at the recent Billboard Women In Music event, Beyonce said, “Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he’s like, ‘You have this award’.
“And when they didn’t call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, ‘No, no, no!’ and then he spoke, and I was like, ‘Oh, no, no, no!’”
“But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment — and I didn’t have to make an acceptance speech.”

I’m sure Kanye is sorry now, but only because of all the ish he’s catching because of his behavior. He has no class and no respect for others. I think Beyonce is a wornderful artist, but she didn’t win. He needs to get over it and take a lesson from Beyonce. Kanye needs to learn to handle hisself with class, that is, if he ever gets another chance. If it were up to me, his career would be over!
I admit, I would have liked if Beyonce got that award but Taylor has never gotten a VMA award. Kanye’s behaviour was very immature. And I feel just like gow he had the heart to give a public embarrasment, he shouldve had the heart to give Taylor a public apology.
