Kanye West Says Taylor Swift's 2009 VMA Win Was Disrespectful, Claims 'Today' Exploited Him

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..

He is a gay fish, you know. According to South Park, at least.

"Why is it that now the African - Americans believe they deserve more because now there is an African American president?"

Spent the night at a hotel that had a group of non-racists in attendance recently. Said 'good morning' to a guy in the lobby. Ignored me like I didn't even exist.

Prolly hard-of-hearing or something like that. Yah, Yah...

Myers real life reaction to West’s tantrum was foreshadowed by this unfortunate character he played years earlier;

I gotta say, though. Regardless of what you think of Obama, everyone can find themselves in total agreement with him that Kanye is a jackass.

"Just as Taylor never came to my defense in any interview and rode the wave, and rode it, rode it, that's the way I rode the wave for the Bush comment," he said.. For the record, Swift did come to West's defense on the song "Innocent

“Didnt he lose his mother in a freak “botox” surgery.”

Actually he lost his mother when she refused to listen to a reputable plastic surgeon advised who against the breast augmentation surgery and liposuction she wanted because she had a pre-exisiting condition that would make the surgery dangerous. She went to another doctor who performed the surgery a license. While she was recovering in non-hospital setting,she had a heart attack that the previous surgeon warned her about. What a pity. Dying for vanity and her uncouth son still has not be humbled.
