Kanye Must Have Short-Term Amnesia

Filed under: MTV > Kanye West

wenn20085372.jpg

This is a little bit sad and somewhat hypocritical but still pretty exciting.

If you recall, Kanye West was rather upset and insulted at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, seeing as his didn't win the number of awards he thought he deserved.

He was also annoyed that his performance was limited to only a small stage.

That's when he vowed he would never to return to another MTV VMA.

But, a celeb's word is only as good as the money they are probably throwing at him to perform.

And, surprisingly enough, Kanye will be performing at the 25th VMAs this Sunday.

In fact, he'll be closing the show with his performance!

So what do U think of Kanye returning to the VMAs?

Is he a sellout for not keeping his word or who cares?????

      i love kanye but i couldn't give a shit.nobody wants to hear that old music of his.and he has no new music to perform.no thanks.im just gonna watch britney



    4. 4

      WHO CARE ?



    5. 5

      I don't think he's a 'sell out' per say. I think he just has a really large mouth & an itty bitty brain…….



    6. 6

      WHO CARES?????? whineyassbitchmotherfucker



    7. 7

      I could care less about what Kanye does. It seems like everything is simply for publicity. I mean "George Bush doesn't care about black people?" And then claimed to have undiagnosed terretts. And then making a big huff at last years VMA's. He's just a big baby.



    8. 8

      does anyone really take him seriously?



    9. 9

      who cares?
      i lovvve love love kanye.
      i'm stoked he will be there.



    10. 10

      i say who cares? money is money, and it's not like he's breaking a "serious" vow or personal moral code.



    11. 11

      who cares? as long as he votes for obama!



    12. 12

      he has a few good songs, but his ego/attitude make him a HUGE joke. he's ONLY closing the show because he cried last year.



    13. 13

      UGh, he is such a rotten spoiled cunt. Who CARES? People with attitudes like that are such a turnoff. I don't care how good his music is - I don't want to listen to anything this idiot does.



    14. 14

      Complete sell out,



    15. 15

      I don't

      kanye…who cares…i mean he's ok…but britney will be there…she'll steal the show whatever she'll do



    17. 17

      make that money yo!
      you know kanye …..he's always saying some crazy shit :)



    18. 18

      He's a sellout. Fuck Kanye West.



    19. 19

      Total ASSHAT!

      He is not all that anymore so he has to do what he has to do!! Can not wait for Britney!!!!



    21. 21

      he is an attention whore! of course he will always go back.



    22. 22

      i think he was pissed last year. but losing his mom last yr put things in perspective and he probably why sweat the small stuff. i know he would give up all future mtv performances to have his momma back.



    23. 23

      His music is kool but he's and Idiot



    24. 24

      who cares. he just happens to be an ignorant and self absorbed musician who's lucky that he's talented and puts out great songs or else everyone and their mom would hate him.



    25. 25

      I find him completely ANNOYING. Have any of you seen his ad on the NYC subway carts? Some magical pill that transform you into Kanye. Hes tacky, corny and a SELL OUT and completely diLLUSIONALLLL. i've had enough of him, the only song i liked was Kanye's work-out plan. but after that he can go away. FAR FAR AWAY!

      26

      His punk ass is a sellout and a liar!!!

      Maybe he needs the $$ to pay his mom's house.



    27. 27

      It's business baby. That's all.
      A lot has happened this past year so it's all water under the bridge.
      Besides, I'm sure Kayne wants a chance to tell us all to vote for Obama because Bush sucks.



    28. 28

      Big deal. That show's turned into predictable pap anyway, so he's as deserving to be mediocre before an audience as those before him.

    29. aj says – reply to this


      29

      I'm not suprised. He's a crybaby asshole douche. I'd rather Tony Danza close the show making pizza or something. Oh well I'll still watch, just turn off the last few minutes.



    30. 30

      who cares about kayne…is Hilary Duff going to be there? If Lezlo is going to be there then why not Hilary she can actually sing!



    31. 31

      Kanye has done more damage to his career by his own hand-he runs his mouth, and then turns around and does whatever it takes to make a buck. His ego has gotten in his way, but he has yet to figure that out. I will not be watching.



    32. 32

      No body will stay around to watch him…He is past his prime, no gives a flip about that loud mouth anymore.



    33. 33

      He's a punk bitch. LOOOOL



    34. 34

      That is fucken lame that he is doing that (performing at mtv vmas) but it just confirms and shows that in fact he is a little bitch liar hypocrite. Oh im sure he'll blog about it to his "fans"… I mean this is comming from the guy who raps about poverty and ghetto when he was raised up in a middle class neighborhood in Chicago… He has never first hand expirienced none of the shit he talks about. Nothing he says is real he is just good at making money and putting words together… Hes never gave a shit, Fuck this puto let him go "perform" MTV isnt about music anymore anyway its about reality bitch fights and this Kanye is good at!



    35. 35

      sellout? yes
      idiot? yes
      fake? yes



    36. 36

      I only liked his first CD. It went downhill from there. He is toooooooooooo full of his himself.



    37. 37

      sell out! he will do anything for a buck!



    38. 38

      Hes a fucking diva anyway

      Kanye is too into himself, that was so pathetic when he disrupted a bands speech for wining video of the year at the Europe Music Awards 2 years ago, because he felt he should have one!

      He is a good looking guy, but he is not nice, well i haven't meet him so I assume he is not nice..



    41. 41

      i hate kanye. he thinks he's better than everyone else. he acts like a spoiled little bitch when he gets his delicate feelings hurt. MTV should have told him to FUCK OFF!



    42. 42

      who cares!
      hes kanye, he can do and say whatever he wants!



    43. 43

      what happens if he does not win an award he going to boycott agian, please he is such a big baby, and spoiled one at that.



    44. 44

      He's a drama case, talented but seemingly an ass.



    45. 45

      Kanye lost his mother. When you lose someone you love as much as a Mother it can really change the way you percieve and handle your life. Maybe he just realizes that anger with MTV is probably just petty and a non issue now especially when it ultimately aides the success of your career



    46. 46

      Kanye is a punk ass. He sits there and points the finger at everybody and say that they're a racist. NEWS FLASH! Kanye, YOU'RE the racist. Stop playing the the race card, shut the fuck up, and do something that doesn't require you to talk.

      PS-> Kanye West doesn't care about white people. He only cares about the money they are willing to spend on his albums. Well, he is not getting a cent from me, I think his music sucks.

      kanyes a douchebag little bitch! he thinks WAY too highly of himself. who does he think he is? honestly!



    49. 49

      He did just lose his mom, maybe he needs to take some time away to deal with all that. Aside from that, he is a cunt.



    50. 50

      I hope Britney shows up Kanye, he's such an egotistical asshole. Obvi, doing it for the money and then will find some reason to bitch about it afterwards.

      he's not technically a sell-out..hes just a little bitch! A crybaby… and now he'll just look like an idiot ..



    53. 53

      I think it's fine…I'm sure he and/or MTV will find a proper way to address it and more on…What's sad about, in essence, making up and moving on? :(



    54. 54

      Kanye is a punk - he samples most of his shit - it's good, and that makes it hard to not like him. I'm glad he feels like he can share his opinions but he is such an extremist.



    55. 55

      Kanye West is not only a SELLOUT but a HUGE FUCKING BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      all he does is whine and moan and bitch and complain- shut the fuck up, u'll never be diddy- and diddy isnt even that cool- ASSHOLE



    56. 56

      Cry baby..no talent..diahreaha of the mouth..ugly..fugly..blow hard mother fucker.

      Do not care in the least!



    60. 60

      I'm sure the asswipe will find something to cry and whine about, he's a big fuckin baby, wouldn't buy his shit if it was a penny, the jerk can't sing for shit!

      61

      This guy is sooooo arrogant. Who cares…



    62. 62

      SELLOUT!!!! I think thats he's the biggest crybaby ever! I agree with U P, hes only as good as the money being thrown at him.BOOOOOO



    63. 63

      I still love the Kanye, he stood up to the network that was supposed to be about music. Not many artists complain about Mtv becoming the reality crapper that it is today.



    64. 64

      sell out!



    65. 65

      bitch has to pay his bills!



    66. 66

      hes a sellout and i really dont care about him.



    67. 67

      WHO CARES? His performance last year was sick so I'm glad he is coming back!



    68. 68

      Whine-Yay is a whiney ass bitch! His Glow in the Dark Tour was not what it was hyped up to be AT ALL!!! I wouldn't doubt it if he only agreed to perform if he got to close the show and it was not all Mtv's choice to let him close to begin with. He needs to quit thinking that he's the shit and better than everyone else cause he's not. With all the money he has, he needs to fix that major under bit he has. He looks like the damn Mac Tonight guy from the old Mcdonalds commercial



    69. 69

      It's all about the ego!



    70. 70

      I think that before Kanye took his stardom for granted cause he had everything at the time and was on top of the world. Now that his mother , the only women in his life that he lived for, is deceased, and his girlfriend who was with him for several months is also gone, he probably thought about his actions and his life and reconsidered his views about MTV. People do change.



    71. 71

      Who cares? He's a prime example of what a douche bag is.



    72. 72

      He's just another narcissistic douche, who speaks before he thinks.

      Thanks for letting me know Kuntye will be performing. I'll be sure to watch "I Love Money" instead.



    74. 74

      WHAT A DOUCHE BAG



    75. 75

      Doesn't he say that EVERY year but he keeps going back. I bet you after this years VMAs he'll say he isn't ever going again!

      76

      Sell out…YES. Met him…nice in person…was really surprised how low key he was…not a big entourage and pretty much kept to himself and was very professional….



    77. 77

      I WALKED OUT OF KANYE WEST AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. My first show ever was Michael Jackson in 1988, the Bad Tour. Kanye came out looking like a mess in sweats, nothing glowed in the dark, and some blow-up doll came out of the ceiling. He sucked. Even the ushers were bashing him, saying "See Madonna, now THAT is a show." Kanye may say he's the greatest entertainer in the world, but take it from me. HE SUCKS LIVE.

      78

      Some of his music is ok, but seriously this guy is a joke! Its like somebody found him on the street and said" he mister, would you like to try and be a rapper" and then the sh*t was born. I can ryhme born with corn, and tree with me, and you , me and hucklebee smokin a tree out in subury!! Talent ? ummm nooo… dont see any here…if all it took was to cause a big hoot and cry about crap all the time for people to feel sorry for you and give you some more spotlight….ummmm how long will that last before people finally realize… Kanye is ridiculous…if it was me against him…. pfffttttt, I think there would be a new mr RnB on the map for sho!… really starting to think JT meant for that song to be for him….ummm ' cry me a river'



    79. 79

      It's a really big WHO CARES. Just like so-called farewell tours. That's always a lot of rubbish, too.



    80. 80

      he is only going back because he doesnt have any new music out and he is not talked about as much as he used to be.



    81. 81

      A pompous sellout not to mention an idiot.

      Kanye is such a Queen, but I love him.



    83. 83

      Kanye is an opportunistic cry baby. His songs aren't his and his rhymes are crap so I could really care less. If America was smart they would all turn off MTV when Kanye's performance starts. He was basically disrespecting his fans by saying that he wouldn't perform at the show again because he was treated about how he should have been the previous year. Kanye entered the game via payole and expected to not have to pay to play. Well he isn't that great and look how it turned out. He was outbid.
      BOYCOTT Kanye turn off MTV when he gets on.



    84. 84

      Re: Kendra – He isn't even a musician he is a computer nerd. Have you ever actually seen Kanye with a musical instrument?
      He can't sing either so musician is a total stretch.



    85. 85

      Don't know who's worse, more phony, more stupid, more annoying, more arrogant….I could go on but won't waste more time…..Kanye or Diddy. Or are they the same person???? ;)



    86. 86

      ugh
      kanye has gotten weird these days :S



    87. 87

      sellout

      Kanye is a piece of shit. His music has no soul. He is a little, tiny man with a ridiculous ego and limited intellect. He is a fucking sell out for going back on his word, but he shouldn't have gone ape shit about not getting any awards in the first place. Who does he think he is? He will be washed up and a nobody in 5 years. No one with an attitude like that has longevity in this business.



    94. 94

      he is a conceited asshole. he thinks he is gods gift to humans who deserves the most praise he can get. his music isnt even that good. someone who actually complains and is upset that he didnt win enough awards is a SORE LOSER. he needs to learn how to be happy for other people

    96. 96

      Kanye is always ranting like a little BITCH about something. Mothafucka is perenially on the fuckin rag. Who really pays attention to what the fuck he says?? Not me!!!



    97. 97

      Who cares, really. He's just another diva who puts himself on a piedestal. I don't care about him. Man, just let the music speak!



    98. 98

      Kanye claims himself to be alot of things he's not. This doesn't surprise me at all.



    99. 99

      He's pathetic…along with all the other self-absorbed a$$holes. Puff Daddy is the King of Losers though. Get over yourselves.



    100. 100

      1. He's a sellout.
      2. Who cares?
