In September, Kanye West apologized to Taylor Swift via Twitter..
"She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows," the "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" artist wrote. "She deserves the apology more than anyone.".
West uttered a retraction of sorts Wednesday during a 1 a.m. performance at the Bowery Ballroom in New York. He stopped the concert for 10-minutes to rant about the media's scrutiny of his career..
West said he does not regret interrupting Swift's first Video Music Award win speech to champion Beyonce instead..
"When you do things like what happened last year, it's disrespectful to everyone who's creative," West said about MTV's decision to give Swift the honor. "It's a slap in the face to everyone who tries to do something real.".
West implied that Swift and the VMA producers are lucky his disruption was brief..
"If I wasn't drunk, I would have been on stage longer," he said..
West compared the aftermath of the VMA incident to that of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina telethon in which he accused President Bush of not caring about black people..
West said he felt bad when people thanked him for dissing the president. "The whole time, I'm thinking, That's not exactly what I wanted to say. I was emotional,'" he said. But he never set the record straight..

If Kanye West was a sports figure, he would be Brett Favre. Geez, what a drama queen.
Why don’t this human debris just STFU and go away...OH that’s right $$$$$$ is all he is about.
Don’t go away mad, Kanye, just go away.
QUEEN!?!?!?
That will be interesting to watch.
looks like someone desperately needs/wants some more publicity
Compare his career to hers since then and you can probably figure out why.
He’s in the closet?
Didnt he lose his mother in a freak “botox” surgery.
Last year, Poreotix did a great parody on what SHOULD have happened on ABDC...it was GREAT.
Yes.
I saw John Rich (Big and Rich) on the Hannity show right after the event say, accurately, that if there had been a couple country boys in the audience that night, his interruption would have been...brief.
Just when I thought he couldn’t get any dumber. He opens his mouth again.
I truly wish that Taylor Swift would just give this POS a really good hard swift kick to the groin. Why is it that now the African - Americans believe they deserve more because now there is an African American president? So now I probably sound like a racist. I truy wanted to use a term for African Americans who really act like arrognant imbeciles but than I am to be eally considered a rscist.
He would have regretted it if I had been there. He'd have eaten that microphone.
His mother went to a strip mall quack clinic for a breast augmentation and did not survive. Beezillianire son goes cheap on mom's surgery. What guilt he must feel.
No wonder he is fixated on fish sticks.
