VMAs 2009 ~ Kanye Steals Spotlight (& Mic) From Taylor Swift (Video)
(ScreenShot)
My personal highlight of the evening for the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards was Kanye Omari West’s diva meltdown during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech. For some of you, this is probably completely random, but since there was a “leaked” list earlier which listed Beyonce as the winner of this award, some are speculating that MTV may have changed a few of the winners to avoid the embarrassment of having a mole amongst them and of course to save the surprise factor of the popular awards show.
Just as Taylor began telling MTV viewers how much winning best female video meant to her, Kanye West ripped the microphone from her grasp and gave an outraged shout out to Beyonce.
“Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!”
Cameras cut to Beyonce, who sat in the audience with jaw dropped in disbelief:
Meanwhile, Taylor was literally speechless as Kanye gave her the microphone back and marched off stage:

This speculation has led me personally to believe that Kanye’s outburst was merely his reaction to truth of the matter. Beyonce was robbed. I think MTV figured she’d had enough over the years and could take the fall this time. Just an observation.
In case you missed it. Check out Kanye’s diva moment below:

September 14, 2009 @ 9:59 amthere was no excuse for such dumb idiotic behavior…he should be banned from all public events such as this until he learns to control his savage beast-like behavior..what an animal…maybe if people stop buying those lackluster cds/albums which are a true example of boredom from a studio then maybe he will start acting like a human again…shaking my head what a shame grow up little boy….

September 14, 2009 @ 10:00 amIs it true Kanye was on the red carpet drinking Hennessey straight out the bottle? That might explain everything. That “yak” will make do some thangs. I speak from experience (mostly bad ones).
