UPDATE: Kanye West Apology On Jay Leno VIDEO
After ruining Taylor Swift’s moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 13), Kanye West used his blog to try to apology in CAPS to the teen country sensation, her mom and her fans. Kanye had already been behaving like a total loser when he arrived with Amber Rose and his old friend Hennessy (photos)!!
Kanye wrote, “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!!!!

Isn’t this the lamest apology ever!?! Yep, Kanye had to watch the rest of the show at home because his performance was canceled and he was politely invited to leave the Radio City Music Hall in NYC after the incident.

[...] might want to blame it on the alcohol since he has already apologized to the country star with a CAPS blog post (read here) but the a-hole label should stick. Every year Kanye is bound to do something [...]
He’s saying sorry cause he has to ….but he’s still trying to justify his actions. Total BS to me….
I dont think Kanyes apology was sincere at all. It was Taylors moment and he ruined it, in his ‘apology’ he even brought up how great Beyonce was again!
how can he think that’s an acceptable apology? he’s still putting her down and exclaiming that he was right about what he did…sorry but the caps can’t hide the twatwaffle douchebaggery undertones in that post. totally insincere……plus how can he say he met taylor swift’s mom? he was asked to leave right after the incident right? either way he’s a dick…
I am a huge fan of both girls but seriously when i watched Beyonce’s video i was like oh ok i’ve seen all this before. 3 girls dancing in middle of the stage shaking and some arm movments!! In my opinion she should of just stuck with DC at least they were like family!! And Taylor what can i say all of he video’s are different!! Kayne just felt like why did a white girl win over a black girl!! BC she just shook her ass!!
LOL leave it to an ignorant ghetto POS, their type are ruining everything these days…
kanye west is a complete idiot and he has lost a fan in me BOOOOOOYAAAAA
There is an underlying theme to kanye for all the years he has been out. everyone sees it but no one says it out loud, He is a racist!! listen to his music, listen to his comments. Also there is nothing gangsta or thug about him, he grew up in the burbs to a well off family. He learned how to sample and create beats so now he is the voice of a generation, give me a break!
@ Andrew….really? Beyonce did a very noble thing. But kanye’s actions have ruined what should have been a positive memory for Taylor. But she is a great person who will continue to do great things.
KANYE IS A NO TALENT PIECE OF CRAP. HE IS A RACIST. I HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MUCH RACISM AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE. JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A BLACK PRESIDENT PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN CRAP ALL OVER WHITE PEOPLE. IT MAKES ME SICK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ELECTED A BLACK PRESIDENT, EVEN THOUGH HE IS THE BIGGEST SOCIALIST/FASCIST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD, WHETHER BLACK OR WHITE, YOU THINK YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT. IF YOU PEOPLE DON’T START BOYCOTTING KANYE’S PRODUCTS YOU ARE RACISTS!!
Kenye, you are way too arrogant and so in love with yourself that you fail to see what’s really going on around you.
When you gave your award away you did so because you choso to, not because someone else thought you didn’t deserve it.
Do you realize how much you mortified both Taylor and Beyonce? you made things uncomfortable for so many.
You need to stop and think before you act or react…there were better ways to get your point across, because yes, you have a right to be heard, but there’s a time and place for everything.
You are so desperate to be heard and respected, but do nothing to earn respect because you have yet to learn how to respect others. In this case, you seem to think that your opinion was more valuable than that of the thousands who voted for these awards. Next time let a classy person like Beyonce defend herself if she feels a need to do so, she has the meturity and class to handle things in an appropiate way…you should learn from someone as talented,humble and kind as her.
Taylor deserved that award because that was the fans choice and you should apologize for being conpkletely inappropiate and rude, there is no excuse for what you did.
To those fans defending Kanye…someone elses actions on a compketely different matter does not excuse Kanye’s behavior…two wrongs don’t make a right!!!!!!
He’s useless and contributes nothing useful to society. Beyonce and Taylor are both very talented and both class acts. If Kanye wants respect then maybe he should try doling it out once in a while. Maybe Kanye shouldn’t hide behind his computer screen to blog and give a genuine truthful, apology…..wait, he’s not capable. He’ll probably do a fake press apology too. Noone will believe him. He single handedly takes the word narcissistic to a whole new level. If Taylor punched him in the face, she’d be in the right. I’d pay to see that.
Kanye West is an idiot. Oh my god, I have thought he was a punk@ss since he came out! This apology is more embarrassing than the actual incident. KANYE, SHUT UP AND GO SULK IN A CORNER SOMEWHERE. WE’VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM YOU!!
Kanye West is the epitome of crap. He only felt he could do that to Taylor because she is white and also very young. He felt she was someone he could intimidate which made her a target. I bet he would have never done that to someone like Jennifer Hudson or Rhianna. I personally would have slapped him.
IM NOT CRAZY YALL,IM JUST REAL.I JUST LIKE FISHSTICKS IN MY MOUTH.SORRY FOR THAT!!!
What’d you expect? Kanye’s a gay fish.
this guy ego is way out of control
have yall seen beyonce’s video? will someone explain why he thinks it is so good? i guess because she looks hot dancing in a leotard for 3 and 1/2 minutes.
That is the meanest thing that could have ever been done! I hate Kanye West, he is nothing but an ignorant leech who couldn’t produce good music if he wanted to. He should burn in hell for that comment he made and all the other RIDICULOUS comments that have come out of his mouth over the years. Since we have been doomed to hear his cheesy, ripped off music, here is something everyone should be told if they do not already know: KANYE WEST, YOU ARE A FAKE, MEAN HEARTED INDIVIDUAL WHO DESERVES NOTHING MORE THAN A ROACH INFESTED ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT. YOU ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW AND YOU SHOULD KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT FOREVER!!!!
uhh , why is it about race.
i prefer beyonce’s video to be honest.
but taylor’s was creative and i liked it.
kanye should have kept his opinion
to himself like everybody else.
that is horrible. and he ruined her moment.
the apology was alright.he talked to
her mother.that’s no reason to
not love his music.
anyways ,
love to taylor,kanye,&beyonce
okay andrew… what do you mean by “THEIR TYPE”? What Kanye did was horrible and he should definitely be ashamed of himself but PLEASE lets not make this out to be a Black vs. White issue. I believe Kanye is a jerk and needs to boycotted from all awards shows but throwing in racial slurs makes you know different then him. (just sumthing to think about)
I RESPECT KANYE AND I LOVE HIS MUSIC BUT THERE WAS NO NEED TO GO UP ON STAGE AND TAKE THE MICROFONE OUT OF HER HAND LIKE THAT. ITS RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL. BUT…SINCE HE APPOLIGIZED, I WOULD FORGIVE HIM. I LIKE THE WAY HE WAS BEING REAL AND HONEST. BECAUSE I THINK BEYONCE SHOULD HAVE GOT THE AWARD MYSELF. I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT BUT HER VIDEO WAS NOT THE BEST.
He is such an JACKASS!!! How can he say that was a sincere apology?? COME ON! He is SO IGNORANT! And this isn’t the only time he has done this. He is such and idiot and has DEFINENTLY LOST ANOTHER FAN!
OK.
I gotta say, I loved Kayne West and he’s music, and yea I know he’s….but that’s so worng. He took the the mic away from her, stole her moment, made her look embrassed to death. If that was me I would just drop the award and run of the stage. Cuss well Kayne is a really good singer, and him saying that Taylor sucked is just sad. I’ll probably gonna listen to the’smusic, but I’m gonna remember this, and a lot people. I wanna give this message to kayne. Its sd how you did that. You could of atleast waited till after teh show, in polite manner. There’s always a time and a place, but apparently West doesn’t know that.
Wat an jackass, Taylor has sold more albums then he will ever ever made and he looked like a fool up there! She’s young, its her first grammy at VMA’s He honestly does not know how uncalled that was.
I think that as an musician u need to have respect for all types of music and the people who perform and write the songs. U dont have to like the music. U dont have to rush out and buy the cd. But u respect what that person does. Kanye showed everyone that he has no respect or common sense. I think Taylor is a great singer as well as Beyonce and she showed what a true artist is all about!!!
uhm, i’m sorry kanye, but MAYBE you “think” you live in the real world – but excuse me maybe some people think that taylor’s video was the best of the year. so you can go screw yourself, because it’s not just you in the world ! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD – other peoples opinion matters to, not just your own, you dick. NO RESPECT.
that might be the most fake apology i’ve ever read! he was really disrespectful to taylor, after all it was HER moment and he pretty much ruined it. Honestly I don’t think beyonce’s video was better than taylor’s, i mean, she’s just dancing in a white background! Not only did it make taylor uncomfortable but beyonce also! he made beyonce look bad, but it was very nice of her giving taylor the chance to finish her speech. If kanye felt that he had to tell everyone his opinion, he could have done it another time, not when taylor was speaking. It was childish and totally immature. In his “apology” he say that he’s a fan of “real” pop culture and again mentions how great beyonce’s video was when he’s supposed to be sorry for the things he did and recognize that he did wrong!!! Taylor won square and fair, the FANS chose her as the winner and kanye should respect that. If her video won over beyonce’s it’s obviously because the audience liked it better. Congrats to taylor!
Unbelievable… even his apology is arrogant… He should be ashamed of himself… Classless POS…
All that Beyonce does is shake her like body akin to convulsions, not much of a video that one
Anywhoooo, why do the singers get the video award, it is technically {and rightly} be credited and awarded to the director of the video. The pop stars should only be credited for their singing and lyrical talent not being in a video , where they are just like any movie star!!!
he needs to eat some more fishsticks and stfu for once. I heard on power 106 that he was claiming to be the new michael jackson…
racist?
His apology sounded more like a mocking than anything. The moron, he just made himself more into a prick he already was.
TOTAL BS! HE IS A DOUCH! HE DON’T DESERVE NO ‘YOUR WELCOME’ . HE CLAIMS HE’S A REAL PERSON BUT A REAL PERSON DOES NOT TREAT SOMEONE WITH SO MUCH DISRESPECT!! HE IS SO IGNORANT!! BUT GO FIGURE!! RIGHT!! HE THINK HE GOT CLASS BUT HE’S NOTHING BUT A PIECE OF CRAP!!
KANYE WEST = IGNORANT!!!
what apology is it whne you r srtill insulting her..thts kind of wrong he doesnt care hestill made the apology about him
The hater is now hated by all.
man! kanye was suck, because my dawg was born susck, the man raised suck, he’s livivng sucker loser, and he will die sucker, stupider, dummer, sush a loser.
Im black, I should ‘ ve support him, but i don’t chill with loser!
f’in jacka**! Thats whats wrong with people today… no way takes responsibility for their actions. I was disappointed in MJ during his acceptance speech and Williams foul mouth. Would be ashamed to be afro-american if it weren’t for classy Bounce!
If you call that an apology, then I guess I missed the video of the cows flying backwards. If I were Taylor’s mom and I had to meet that sorry excuse for humanity, I’m afraid I would have had to do bodily harm to him. He should be fined, not just asked to leave and he should never be asked to perform at an awards show again and should never be nominiated for any other awards…….ever! What a total piece of crap!!
[...] UPDATE: KANYE WEST BLOG APOLOGY [...]
lets all just call him No Class Kanye from now on…you think if Mary J Blige won over Beyonce he would have got up there and said that? hell no..he is just all pissed because a white girl won…100%
