Kanye West has apologised for jumping on stage and interrupting country singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. The rapper caused controversy at the ceremony in New York when he disrupted proceedings as the star collected her award for Best Female Video.

West jumped on to the stage and grabbed the microphone, protesting that the teenage singer's fellow nominee Beyoncé should have won the award instead.

Shocked Taylor was left standing on the stage clutching her award while West shouted to the audience: "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

He was referring to the video for Single Ladies in which Beyoncé and two dancers perform an energetic dance routine in leotards that has been copied across the world.

The rapper was escorted out of the building after the outburst and missed the rest of the show but an apology to Taylor and her mum was quickly posted on his blog.
West says: "I'm sooooo sorry to Taylor Swift and her fans and her mum."
He added: "I'm in the wrong for going on stage and taking away from her moment!"

Single Ladies went on win Best Video of the Year later in the evening, when Beyoncé invited Swift back on to the stage to finish her acceptance speech.

That guy is a joke and a lousy rapper.
Never understood how he can be successful.

Brilliant marketing. Everyone involved is selling more records today.

"Dear Kanye, 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 s**t..."I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her, so why can't you be?"

good on kelly clarkson

Just watched the Beyoncé video on youtube to see if it actually was "one of the best videos of all time".

It wasn't.

Just a few women dancing like pretty much every other R&B video.

Am i missing something here?

Mr West probably wants to be a bit more "friendly" with Ms. Knowles or something i would imagine.

I like some of Kanye's music but guy has a serious ego problem.

Apparently Obama called him a jackass, sounds about right.

taylor swift is one of, if not the biggest selling artist in the world at the moment, only 19 years old, writes her own songs and her two albums are pretty good, especially the current one, and she sings and plays live too, not a manufactured pop act

if you think kayne is the best rapper alive you need to checkout more hip hop. kayne lost it with his autotune album as a rapper. checkout common or q-tip, long established rappers with great current work. they don't sell as much, but they have more interesting things to say

Common has fallen off a bit recently. UMC was a bit boring I thought. Q-tip is very good. I saw him in the summer.

KanYe Wests 808s and heartbreaks was a great album. It was true heartfelt lyrics. Kanye was not afraid to break away from current hip-hop to make a new sound. KanYe is also the hottest producer around making some of the best songs on current hit albums. Half of the blueprint 3 was produced by KanYe WEst. This is a number 1 album in the USA. There is no denying that he is a massive artist and producer. He has definitely contributed more to music than Taylor Swift.

Isn't this all over the net or something cos Obahma was recorded calling Kanye a jackass unknowingly

commons last two albums have been excellent, UMC in particular was a great album. the video for the title track was fantastic. i never though after all the years that common would end up in the charts even in the states. he's fantastic live too. the first time i saw him 2001 really stood out as he changed costumes slightly for each track, showing the change of music and fashion through the years, a simple but effective technique that made such a memorable show. i last saw him a couple of times a couple of years ago, obviously with a much larger and more well known catalogue, but still down to earth

i didn't really enjoy the last kayne album, it's thrown him away from the rapping too much. certainly he was one of my favourite rappers before that, but i think he's going a bit off the boil like eminem, he too was great with his first 2 or 3 mainstream albums, and even all his collabs and guest spots were great, but his 15 minutes are over for now

i've never ever been a fan of jay z really. he has a few interesting tracks, but with some rappers you can listen to them for what they say, but he says nothing to me. he was pretty lame on the VMA's, even with alicia backing him, it's like he thinks he is god and everyone adores him so he doesn't have to put in any real effort anymore. it's the hunger of new starving artists that give them the fire to create good hip hop music

kayne jumped onstage and took the mic off taylor swift who won a VMA for best video, and he said that beyonces video was better. kayne being 32, but acting 13 years old (especially when he types ALL IN CAPS LIKE THIS on his blog) and taylor being 19 years old

obama was asked about it, made an answer, but off camera he called him a jackass, but it was recorded without him knowing and ended up online

kayne has been the internet laughing stock for the past week whilst taylor swifts interest and popularity has risen, which is really great for her as her music is genuinely really good, she's just not too well known outside of the states as her music style is country, but fairly poppish country, certainly not the cool alt-country that all the hip kids in europe want to pretend to like, but she could do well over here once people start checking her out

That's charming what he did. He is out of order. To the op your video dont work any more.

Taylor Swift's music as actually quite good. I have her cd's.

Kanye West only did this to show her up because his music (if you can call it that) is awful and wants other people to follow his point of view which is just wrong.

Kanye West is the best producer in hip hop atm. He made 808s which split opinions on his music. I thought it was great. However before that he made three of the best rap albums there are. Unbelievable that you call his music awful.

[RMCF]

He then went on to the Jay Leno show and cried, so he will get the worlds sympathy again (def not mine - talentless git) and he will continue making easy money.

Would love it if his career as ruined by his actions.

[ash]

He has great talent, his first two albums are one of the best hip-hop albums this century. And his production is more or less always very good.

[aymank]

there are few rumors that the whole thing was staged - vma's are big in usa and a lot of people watch it but around the world it is not a 'must see' award or programme. by doing this it created a lot of publicity and im sure a lot more people tuned in to it around the world that would probably not of bothered...i think all to boost the tv ratings


similar to what happened to eminem with ali g 'apparantly' falling and putting his backside in his face

[Officer M168]

yean and record sales went up 200% for Taylor swift & 150% for Kanye and Beyonce

[jesta]

He acted like an idiot, but to call him talentless is a bit extreme. As said one of the best producer currently around and his music is very good.
