Kanye West Talks About the Taylor Swift Incident

After surprising Ellen and the audience, Kanye West took time to explain why he interrupted Taylor Swift at the VMAs -- and if he regrets it.

[@brooke3883]

In Taylor’s documentary she said that when this happened and everyone was booing Kanye she thought they were booing her and that’s so heartbreaking.

He is so smug and just made excuses. Personally i am not a Taylor Swift fan but barging on stage and saying what he did was rude and ruined her moment. He acts like he is so special and compares himself to god. His music is not that good. Being confident is one thing, constantly going on about how good you is just sad. It was years ago now and i am sure Taylor does not care and has moved on but Kanye is just as arrogant and bigheaded as ever. Even if he was as talented as he believes he is, that does not mean anyone believes his rambling or that it is ok to be dickhead to people. He has to much fake pride to be sorry for anything.

Yeah, life's real rough Kanye. "I'm a soldier of culture" ...you're not a soldier in any way shape or form. You're the court jester.

[@mr.cleaver2122]

To Jamesmn87: Give me one good reason why you're sticking up for Taylor Swift over Kanye West ha?? I think its because you are very sexist, you are a man-hater, you are very gender biased; you are very racially bias plus not to mention how you are all about favoring women while throwing all men under the bus for female acceptance. You are nothing more than a whiteknight mangina who will worship a female vagina even if it means turning on your own gender by oppressing it. You are following down the lines of the radical man-hating feminist movement who do nothing but trash all men just so they can portray women and girls as victims like feeling sorry for them because a man has abused them in public. Also if this had been Taylor Swift who had taken that microphone out of Kanye West hands, you would not have a f-king problem with this simply because she is a "Woman" and a "white woman" at that. Yes there would have been a sexist and racial double standard had it been a white woman taking that microphone away from a black mans hands at the VMA awards. And I can see why so many people are outraged and wanting to kill this man Kanye West for what he did simply because he's a "man" and a "black man" at that who disrespected a "white woman". What we are seeing here is a nother 1940s racial lynching and a lot of gender biased involved in this matter.

Kanye there is no shame in having a mental disorder, but you need to admit to having one and then seek out a good psychologist to get you the help you need.
