Kanye West Apologizes For Taylor Swift Outburst
September 14th, 2009
Kanye West’s outburst at the MTV VMA’s is certainly a hot topic – and the rapper knows it. He jumped straight on his blog following his bizarre interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at Sunday night’s (September 13) MTV Video Music Awards, apologizing for his behavior and saying, “I’m not crazy y’all!”
The rapper posted this message to his fans (yes, in his traditional all caps) on his official website, before the awards telecast had even ended:
“I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM.
I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!
I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!!
I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!!
EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!!
I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT’S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!!
I’M NOT CRAZY YALL, I’M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!”
On Twitter? So are we! @celebritytruth.

the man is a DICK, Tayloem Swift should of taken her reward and hit him over the head

Where's the Apology?…this is just arrogance.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:52 am
He obviously is crazy. What a bastard…there is no reason to act like that. At least Beyonce was classy enough to give Taylor a chance to talk. F Kanye
September 14th, 2009 at 5:00 am
it is time to totally shun kanye and to never support him again…He makes us black people look bad. I hope somebody fucks up his moment. His mother should have taught him better. But then she was vain too….and died that way.

Such a shame for the music environment ..especially for black community!!!! I am proud of Taylor….. God has opened a new door for her….
As for Kanye…… many doors will be closed…… I have lost respect for that man…… pfffffff….. that was too LOW!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 5:20 am
Put Kanye in a room with 50cent and ………well I think we know what the outcome would be!

Kanye West is the epitome as to why the majority of white people stay away from black people. I am not trying to be racist. I am stating a simple FACT here.
I have NEVER NEVER ever liked Kanye to begin with. NEVER. I had always thought PRIOR to this incident that he is an obnoxious, self-righteous, arrogant ahole. Taylor Swift did NOT deserve the verbal abuse. If I was Taylor, I would have told off that arrogant ahole and I would have INSISTED that he be locked up in JAIL for a few days for the verbal assault. It's just very obvious that he had poor role models for parents.
He should have been publicly FINED and SHOWN THE DOOR and be BARRED from appearing on ANY awards show ever again. And despite his "so-called" apology to Taylor, if he was REALLY and TRULY sorry, he would NOT have pulled a 2 year old tantrum act in the first place!
I encourage anyone who has ANY music or ANYTHING of Kanye West's to GET RID of it and DUMP IT STRAIGHT IN THE GARBAGE! If you had recently bought his music, RETURN IT and DEMAND YOUR MONEY BACK. DO NOT buy anything of his anymore. His record sales need to seriously drop to an ALL TIME LOW. Kanye really and truly needs to learn that there is a FINE LINE when it comes to behaving in public.

How many times are we going to listen to this guy go off. I like his music but there are so many other choices that his not being one of them is no biggie.
Poor Beyonce & Taylor.
September 14th, 2009 at 6:44 am
Fuck Kanye n Fuck what he smoked before showing his sorry drunk ass upstage. He has simply lost Millions of fans
Worldwide. The fans he made in 10years. Fuck you Kanye.

It's sad that Kanye chose to display himself in such poor light. I pray that he get in touch with his insecurities and how they affect his decisions and the people around him. The true stars that shone bright were Beyonce and Taylor. Together they turned this abhorrent situation around for the positive. Taylor, you will continue to rise with your God-given talent!!
September 14th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Kayne u piece of s@&$ u just f$&@ed urself, ur career is over! And im glad cause ur music was crap anyways ! U think ur real haha ur real alright, a real bitc$ ! Fake ass hater!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:36 am
what an ignorant person kanye is. He's arrogance and pretense will be his downfall.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I say we boycott Kanye. Call your radio station. Delete the myspace. Burn the CDs… (if anyone still buys those things anymore). Thanks itunes.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:54 am
Kanye, WHO? Taylor was classy enough not to brain that sucker on stage with her trophy and Beyonce is more than classy for giving Taylor her time! Respect is where it is AT!
September 14th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
He is such a LOSER! Bitter, arrogant, and such a smart alec HICK! Congratulations to Beyonde & Taylor! Just Go Away Kanye!
September 14th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
KAYNE – I USE TO HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU WHEN YOU CALLED OUT BUSH – BUT NOW I SEE YOU'RE JUST AN ASS-HOLE!
September 14th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
KANYE IS THE MAN. FUCK TAYLOR SWIFT.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
and fuck justin for fucking with kayne…fuck good to both of you
September 14th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
(to the idiot above) = Only a Dumbass could still like someone after that display of ignorance!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I hear all of you and yes..he was wrong. However, I know where he is coming from and Beyonce should have won. However to take the limelight from Taylor was pretty awful. MTV has been know to not "award appropriately". So, I guess like the senator who called Obama a "liar",,, he felt he could just jump on stage and do what he did! Congrats to both winners Taylor and Beyonce,, and yes Beyonce is a class act all the way.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Heartless was about Kanye ovbiously…if u didnt like the votes oh well u didnt agree with the decision too bad you should have shut the fuk up ….taylor is a stand up girl i dont like country but i give props when and where needed. Thats one of the WORLDS biggest flaws….JUDGEMENT and GOSSIP RUMORS…get a life you all shit happens Oooooo now lets move on dwelling is as bad as ignorance!
September 14th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Oh ya Beyonce..Diva at her finest..and classy..way to go and show who is the bigger human being.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
That is not a heartfelt apology. Try again, please.
September 14th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Fuck you and that fucking asshole Kanye . You both need a good ass kickin and learn how to speak ENGLISH , not that fucking ebonic shit
September 14th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
FUCKING ASSHOLE DUDE SHUT UP KANYE WEST
September 14th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
I'm tired of that asshole and Sholita can kiss my ass! You both are racist fuckers and deserve one another. Two classless assholes, but if Kanye won and Taylor came on stage – it would have been much different, wouldn't it Shit lita??? Go crawl in a hole with Kanye and rot!
September 15th, 2009 at 4:04 am
There’s A-hole…and then there’s Kanye! Apology NOT accepted, FOOL!!! You took the pure joy and thrill of that moment for Taylor, only to run your stupid mouth about Beyonce. (Thank God that Beyonce has a class act in Jay-Z! Hey, here’s a thought: you should call him and ask for etiquette lessons, so that you can stop acting like the FOOL!) I hope this is finally your ruination, you no-talent JIVE TURKEY…good luck on your future record sales…NOT, SUCKA!!!

First of all, his rhymes aren't tight because they don't make sense. Second, if his music doesn't contain any substance he shouldn't have the right to judge anyone's music. Third, his songs are fucking ridiculous because he just picks any fucking word out of the thesaurus that rhymes. It must take a lot of skill to to say "This is bad, real bad Michael Jackson. Now I'm mad, real mad Joe Jackson" and still think "damn homie, i'm the shit because i just had 1 million hits from people listening to my tired ass rhymes." Lastly, there is a time and place for everything, but I guess Kanye still believes that his opinion matters so much he can say whatever he wants whenever he wants.
September 14th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
Kanye Wesit is the motha fuckin Don baby. And Beyonce Bitch is fine as fuck baby girl keep rocking that. Anyway I dont even herd of that Tyler swift guy who won so fuck that douche. I seen the Beyonce joint and its got mad flava not some racist shit neither. Kanye stood up for the right today and people gonna hold him down, nah, nah that aint right.
Play on playa.
West is in the building…..
September 14th, 2009 at 10:35 pm

September 14th, 2009 at 10:37 pm
That is what happens when u hand an IDIOT a mike!!
September 16th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
lol! damn right!
September 16th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
sad but true, about his mother
September 16th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
ditto. he did not seem sincere in his apology and he just kept mumbling.
September 19th, 2009 at 4:52 am
know what? the people chose taylor but it just goes to show that pop culture has come to shit. kanye is a genius and though he prolly shouldn't have done what he did, i still respect him and he is fucking REAL not some plastic, canned, britney-spears-like shit music. kanye may be arrogrant but he can back it up.
