Jay-Z On The Defense For Kanye
Filed under: Kanye West > Jay-Z > Taylor Swift
At least Kanye West has someone defending him.
Jay-Z defended his protege during a BBC Radio 1 interview this morning, saying that he didn't feel it was right for Kanye to be receiving so much backlash from the VMAs' Taylor Swift debacle.
Jay-Z admits: "Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that's the way he really felt…I think it was rude, but the way they're treating him … He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."
Jay-Z should rewatch the video and look at Taylor Swift's face and really ask himself if he thinks no one was harmed.
The rapper admitted that Kanye was "inappropriate at the time," but justifies the stunt because he is "a super-passionate person."
Yo Jay, we're really happy for you and we would let you finish, but Kanye is one of the greatest douches of all time!!!
The floodgates are open, boys! Best just to let it run it's course and let everyone have a great laugh at Kanye's expense.

Who gices a shit if that's the way he felt?! His feelings don't mean the worlds stops just for him. Jay-Z sounds like as big an arrogant douche as Kanye
Crapppp!!! Like he would have had the same opinion if Kanye wasn't saying his WIFE deserved the award. Of course he is going to feel biased in this situation.
no one got harmed? taylor's feelings didnt count? jay z's the lames mofo there is around. he thinks just cause bey's his wife and he's an ALRIGHT rapper that he feels like he's the next tupac. WRONG my friend. those lips sure match that mouth. keep running it. its the fans who will determine how long it runs for.
Oh OH COURSE Jay-Z is defending Kanye, it was his wife that Kanye was giving a shout out to….
Yes, let's bury this please.
Rumors in NYC are that Jay Z and Beyonce had it out that night because Jay was not pleased that Beyonce did the decent thing of letting Taylor have her moment. If you notice on the pictures of the afterparty..Jay Z was accompanied by Rihanna, rather than his wife.
Some say Kanye was being racist. Can't believe Jay would defend him… I don't think K was "so passionate" about B's video. I think he didn't like seeing her lose to a young white girl with much less experience… that's why he made a scene. Psh, there's no such thing as 'reverse racism'… it's just racism.
"Yo Jay, we're really happy for you and we would let you finish, but Kanye is one of the greatest douches of all time!!!"
LMFAO!
I wonder how Jay would feel if kanye or someonelse interrupted beyonce during her speech pretty much saying she didnt deserve it.
you got it perez!
jay z is next to be hated by the world.
Maybe he is defending him because he thinks what Kanye said is true, wether or not Beyonce's video was better than Taylor he still should have not done what he did, poor Taylor's first VMA will always be tainted by the memory!
Really shocked that JayZ is defending this douche. Kanye pulled Beyonce into it, JayZ's wife! Beyonce looked mortified that he was pulling this kind of stunt. Passionate or not, Kanye knows NOTHING about respect.
Wow really?
I just lost respect for Jay-Z.
I am sure a lot of people disagree with categories at any award show, but that doesnt mean you need to get up on stage and steal the mic from a 19 year old and make her feel like shit? i mean c'mon. Who the FUCK does that.
you dont like black people!
i dont think Taylor's face looked too hurt..just suprised..
We all know Kayne is a loser….it's been known for a long time now.
~~~~ShArky~~~~
yeah but kanye wanted attention
His behaviour should not be defended. Stupid move Jigga.
He's only defending him bcuz he was praising his wife.
Great defender, a drug dealing, woman beating negro.
oh Jay Z whatever!!! I'm a a super-passionate person too. And someone who works in the beauty industy i must say your one fuckin ugly dude!!!!
SORRY Y'ALL….but you know…"that's the way I really feel"!
both of them are satan worshipers !
they should stop throwing up the "horus" sign seriously …
IM WITH JAY ON THIS ONE HE DIDN'T KILL NOBODY..PLUS HE ALREADY APOLOGIZE SO EVERYBODY NEEDS TO DROP IT.
HE'S RIGHT.
Everybody need to calm down. I was shocked that so many people took Kanye's action so seriously. OMG, whatever!!! I agree, He didn't do anything THAT horrible! People just like making a big deal out of nothing. Have we seen her face? Geez, I don't think her life was ruined forever. She got over it like in 5 seconds!!!
Dude this is so old.. It was rude but it was just stupid!!
Taylor didn't care about that like 10 minutes after it happened.. And neither should people!
Everyone makes mistakes.. GET OVER IT!!
i think he's one of the only people
that's looking at both sides of the
story. he feels bad for taylor, but
he also understands how kanye
can be.
i respect Jay-Z for not taking sides.
I'm sorry but I have to agree with Jay Z…this whole thing is the single most ridiculous thing I have ever seen!!!!! People are trying to lynch the man for something that MTV is known for…hello, remember Sabotage!!!! This is MTV…not Nickelodean…stop acting like he killed her jeez!!!! Perez is such a hypocrite…calling people "f*ggot" and then talking about Kanye's behavior who told her at the time of the incident that he had nothing against her and apologized later. It was rude but this is rock n' roll…everyone needs to grow up and stop acting so PC! If everyone is nice on Mtv then it would not be MTV!!! I really find everyone's "Salem witch hunt" behavior really sad, Taylor is a big girl…she's not an infant! Perez says it's okay to insult young girls viciously because they are celebrities and they ask for it…he speaks disgustingly about Avril, Miley, Mischa and a whole bunch of young girls calling them sluts and worse but he's attacking Kanye? Very, very hypocritical. The moral of this story…yes it was rude but people need to get over it and worry about serious things!!!!
Re: Spindoc – totally agree. so what if that's how kanye felt? you know how many times we disagree with something? how many times have you guys not agreed with who won best video, or best song, or best actor, or best movie?? but that doesn't mean you just charge the stage and grab the mic from someone…. geezus.
I gotta agree with Jay-Z. It was rude, but it has been blown WAAAAYYYY the Hell out of proportion. Let's all try to get over it. people. No one died!
She's moved on maybe its time for you to do the same Perez. She will be fine. All the publicity she has recieved from this will make her forget about the embarassment. LET IT GO!!!!!!!!!
Jay Z shouldn't defend his action just because they're friends. U can't justify kanye's behaviour just because he's "a super-passionate person". Wrong is wrong. call a spade a spade u hippo (Jay z)
Kanye's a racist hater!
Jay-Z wants publicity for his "artist" (term used loosely). Agreed that Kanye is a douchebag no matter who defends him.
Why would JayZ tarnish his name for standing up for this RUDE IGNORANT piece of shit?!?!?!?! The past has proven Kanye is a terrible human being and will never change …………………. and also no matter how much of a JACKASS he is, his records will sell!!! You would really think mamma West would have done a better job….
no one should be defending kanye if he didnt even defend himself. i mean he admitted he was wrong. and im pretty sure he didnt go up there because he is a "super-passionate person" maybe it had something to do with the GIANT BOTTLE OF JACK DANIELS THAT HE WAS DOWNING WHILE HE WAS ON THE RED CARPET!!!!! he should be banned from all awards ceremonies since he always has to make a scandal.
"They're" treating Kanye like this because this isn't the first time he has pulled this shit. He's an absolute ass. Enough is enough. Taylor accepts his apology. I don't. I won't. Tired of his bullshit.
It's over. She got her moment. He looked like a douche and got major backlash. I felt bad for her at the time, but it's over. And all these people who are like, "oemgee she can never get that moment back!" She got an even better moment when Beyonce called her out and she got a standing ovation. That doesn't justify what Kanye did, but it's not like her life is over. Worse things could have happened. Move on.
he should learn from Beyonce on how to be more classy.
sorry if i spelt her name wrong.
of course hes sticking up for the douche they did a song together and they are friends..plus kanye was saying jay's wife beyonce should have won….jay z is a stupid ugly peice of shit for not thinking anyone was harmed…if noone was harmed then kanye wouldnt be on the cover of magazines!!!! both of them are peices of shit .
ALL THESE DUMB ELUMINATISSSTTTS (MISSPELLED TO SEE HOW LONG THIS COMMENT WILL STAY UP…YOU GET THE IDEA
STICK TOGETHER!!!!
KAYNE IS THE WORLD'S BIGGEST DOUCHE!!!! EVEN BEFORE ALL THIS TAYLOR SWIFT SHIT- HUGE DOUCHE. FUCK HIM!
I found the best T-Shirt EVER!!! 'I HATE KANY WEST' from a little clothing company in San Diego and they are only $14.99!!!!
Check em out

First these asshole rappers feel talented now they feel privileged, what next smart? This piece of shit explains his friends actions by saying , "but thats's the way he felt"? who the fuck cares how he feels? Maybe they should have everyone get up and say how they feel. I hope that someone feels like taking some of these low lifes out, just like the did their friends.
I think these are the two most overrated people in the business!!! Their new song sucks!!! How would Jay - Z like it if that was done to Beyonce??? Especially if it was done by a white guy??? Holy crap, That would have been the end of his career!!
This has gotten old and yeah I think it's time to turn a page. Taylor has moved on, Kanye has moved on…it's time for us all to move on. People have done worse than Kanye and have suffered less attention and ridicule. He apologized and she has forgiven him. Enough is enough.
Jay Z should keep his muth shut before he starts getting backlash for defending the arrogant self absorbed douche bag. He looks like a fool for even defending him.
yes it was rude but the whole thing has gotten a little out of control. do we have nothing else going on that we're continuing to make that big a deal out of this? it was wrong, he apologized..the girl makes millions and has won many awards–i think she'll be just fine. let it go already.
I agree, how would Jay-Z like it if somebody like Toby Keith took the mic award from Beyonce and said a country singer deserved the award! Kanye deserves all the Heat he's getting! That was the straw that broke the camel's back! Now I hope he thinks before he acts! fucking dumb ass! he has no class! He's a racist and a sore loser! He bitches and cries when he doesn't win and now he's bitching over somebody else winning! He should make his own award show where only his opinion matters! I'm sure he would nominate himself for all the awards and reward himself with all the awards too! Pinche pendejo!
HA. 'the way he felt'.. i guess that goes back to 'keepin it real' .. how about a little respect for other people. His high horse needed to come down and it looks as though yours does to. douche. He wouldnt be saying that if it were the other way around and kayne thoght it was taylor that should have won and beyonce was the one up there… dumb asses. no one cares about your opinions anyways.
Re: Lunabee – agree. if someone did that to beyonce he would being saying how wrong it was and how it was not cool and bla bla. now every time taylor looks back on that moment, with her family, with her kids, she'll have to see kanyes ugly mug up on the stage grabbing the mic from her. there was NO NEED for that to happen. to tell a 19 yr old you dont deserve this, that woman down there deserves it. even beyonce couldnt believe it. keep your mouth closed jay, unlike your boy kanye.
He's defending Kanye cause he has to sell his album and have future for more duets and more $. He has to please Kanye too. And Kanye stood up for JZ's wife's song so I guess he would not see the wrong thing Kanye did. Yes we know he did kill anyone but Kanye has been given many breaks in the past. You could say that this is the "Straw that Broke the camel's Back". We're not buying this crap what JayZ is selling. He could defend Kanye all he wants but we are not listening. Okay! Can you believe this guy? Geez!
Re: hellojello – Kanye is a douche bag, always has and always will be. Everyone just needs to stop buying his records but of course people are sheep and will continue to enrich this asshole regardless of their feelings towards him.
Re: Spindoc – I agree
He wants your woman JayZ, so don't defend his stupid ass. He deserves all he gets because if someone doesn't put him in his place he'll whine the rest of his frickin' life!
Re: MJ- –SMILE (: – I agree… all these stupid illuminatists control the entertainmetn business.. not to mention advertising and movies… oh and no big suprise here.. even politics… this world is coming to an end! Are you all ready people?? OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!
Re: Lunabee – Too true
I think people are taking Jay-Z way too literally. What he's basically saying is that the reaction was totally disproportionate to the act. I think it totally sucks he ruined that moment and it's absolutely unfair, but what Jay is saying is that people are treating this man like he's an axe murderer. He didn't commit crimes and certainly the backlash he is being met with far exceeds what he actually did. People just don't have anything else to talk about and the VMAs weren't memorable otherwise, hence it was blown out of proportion as usual. As much as his behavior was ridiculous and insensitive, the public is so dramatic and unforgiving towards celebrities its sick.
come on forget that
Erm i noticed that Gaga was in that category for the VMA too,I think that if she had won Kanye wouldn't have said anything as they are headling so i don't think it was for Beyonce, I think he just thought it was wrong for Taylor to win it because of how young she is.
I wonder what it would be like with Kanye and T.O. were in the same room?
What a joke. So does that mean that any spoiled, immature, fame whore can jump up at any event and trash someone who just won because they don't agree??? What a joke Jay-Z!! I cannot believe he would try and justify that shit! You know he wouldn't be feeling it if that same thing happened to Beyonce or him! Asshole.
such a hipocrite,jay z made a song called death to autotone and there he is defending some one who uses auttone for most of his songs…….loser…..jay z suxs
Alot of truly gifted artists are superpassionate but Kanye isn't one of those. And there's a difference between superpassionate and immature asshole of which Kanye is one.
Re: JuicyCoutureGirl – It was actually Hennessy's…not Jack. But ether way, its no excuse to be an ass and run up on stage. No one else would do that at any other award show. Regardless that its Mtv (as some have posted) its about respect to the person winning. Kanye has none and now neither does J for defending him. There is no excuse.
Re: ellebunny – Oh stop the bullshit Taylor is talented thats thats so with all the whit girl black girl black man stuff knbock it off thats so so far from reality
Oh my God. Let's just beat the fuck out of this dead horse.
Seriously, what is all of the commotion around this? It is not like he hasn't done it before and it is not about race.. it is about being drunk, passionate and abusing the access he has.
I wouldn't say she was "hurt". Sad maybe, but not "hurt".
Would people really give this much of a shit if it wasn't Taylor Swift it happened to!?
If Kanye would have done the same thing to Beyonce, Kanye would be right now rapping with Biggie and Tupac.
WORD!
Re: ellebunny – WTF?? He wasn't being racist! I wish ppl would stop saying that bullshit! The man is an arrogant ASS…yes. But its not about her being white. When he said that shit about Bush, no one was calling him racist (and he's white)…why is he all of a sudden a racist?????
1)It was his self absorbed bitch wife Beyonce who was complimented so yea….
Haven't we had ENOUGH of these types of "celebrities" (and I use the term LOOSELY) spouting their "opinions" lately? WHO CARES WHAT EITHER OF THESE TWO CLOWNS THINK - BEYONCE DID NOT WIN THAT PARTICULAR AWARD. Furthermore, do we HAVE to hear that it is RACISM every time anyone of any color disagrees with anyone of another color? WHO CARES WHAT COLOR A PERSON IS IF THEY ARE A DISRESPECTFUL, POMPOUS ASS ANYWAY?????
I was utterly shocked Perez when you refer to Kanye as a genius on radio the other day. What was "that" about? Maybe Daft Punk are genius. Maybe so many of the artists Kanye want to work with so hard are genius. Jay-Z is closer to geniushood but he can be downright stupid too as he's just proven here.
"no one got harmed" BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!!!!! yes jay-z, taylor swift wasn't effected AT ALL! fucktard. kanye isn't a super passionate person, he's an arrogant, ignorant asshole
Ugh,..I fuckign hate them both. Stupid ass ugly racists. No class, no brains, no respect and no remorse. And no one gives a damn about how he felt,..he is just a fucking rapper (their a dime a dozen) he aint the fucking president. I hate his overblown sense of entitlement and ego.
Is Jay-Z showin he's racist too? It figures, brutha on brutha will always defend each other
OKAY THEN. . . THE HEAT IS ON. NEXT TIME ONE OF THESE PIGS RECEIVES AN AWARD, I HOPE AND PRAY ANOTHER FAMOUS FAN OF A CONTENDER, GRABS THE MIC AWAY FROM THEM - BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST PASSIONATE.
FUCK 'EM. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVERRATED. AND I'M BLACK.
IF a white guy hopped on stage and took RiRi's 1st speech away ““ TRUST ME ~~~~~~~ ALL hell would have broking loose & shit would have been burned down!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JAY`Z should just keep his fucking trap closed and let Kanye look like the ass that he is… JMO deal!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sorta agree with Jay-Z…now, I'm NOT defending Kayne…infact I think he is an arrogant, obnoxious person! But, I do think it's ridiculous that Kayne is the talk of the town…I mean there are a lot more important things going on in the world than what Kayne West said at an MTV awards show…like health care, war, etc. …I mean, COME ON!! Let's grow some brains and stop giving free press to Kayne West of all people…he doesn't deserve my time or yours!!!
yeah..it was douchey of kanye..but he's right, did it deserve THIS much press?? hey..how many times have i seen in the headlines that Beyonce gave Taylor her time later…um…zero.. and that deserved as much press!
AGREED!!!! Jay is right! Ppl acting like he hit her or her called her bad names!!! OMG! Lets move on! Can someone famous please do someting so these dumb asses can hate someone new! Like Tay is even over it! She doesnt wanna talk about…its over!
Get over it. You're all acting like Taylor Swift is a piece of China glass or a puppy dog. She's a grown ass woman and should start carrying herself like one. She still acting like she's 15 years old and singing about it too. Jay Z is right. The incident is getting press as if Kanye committed a murder. What Kanye did was rude. SO WHAT???? Most of you on this bored are more rude than he will ever be. SO STFU!
BOARD*
Re: MJinNYC – OMG! Your an ass! Brotha to Brotha! LOSER!!! Ducha! WOW! What in the hell does this has to do with race?????
Jay Z is so ugly and Kangay is almost as ugly — inside and out.
"a super-passionate person." ARE U KIDDING ME?!! so let me get this straight kanye should be justified because he is a very passionate person..
hmmm ok Jay Z so anyone tht is super passionate about something should act on it..
so u can also justify Hitler, Racism, Genocides, …etc??
HELL NO!! being "a super-passionate person." doesnt make it right!!
So… if I really feel like climbing on stage and trying to upstage his show with a load of how I'm really feeling, it's okay?
I thought Jay-Z had more class than that…. lol oh please… No Jay-Z you sell records and are the shit musically, but really, your not saying Kayne Pest this time.
Taylor was harmed and her fans were hurt!
he's only defending Kanye because he probably thinks he's right..that B's video was better… *sigh*
it's all in the principle of hte moment…not what he really felt! STUPID.
lmfao… jayze imma let u finish but.. HAHAHAHAHH kanye is still a douche
That may have been the way Kanye really felt… but expressing it during the awards, while Taylor was giving her speech… CLASSLESS. All of his bullshit has overshadowed the fact that she is the FIRST Country Artist to win a VMA EVER. I don't think this situation would be as big of a deal if it was the first time he did anything like this. This is now the 3rd or 4th time he has done something stupid like that. If someone had interupted Kanye and grabbed the mic during a speech he gave…. he would have LOST HIS SHIT… He would be on every news channel still talking about how disrespectful it was. God forbid it would be a white person that would do it.. he'd be calling that person racist, trying to sue them etc etc etc…. It's just one thing after another with him. He does stupid things and doesn't realize how he would feel if someone did the same thing to him. I think people feel as though this is about so much more than Taylor Swift. I truly believe that people are sick of his douche nozzle ways.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift have the same damn agent……….
I ran into Kayne and asked him if he liked fish sticks. And he does! SO I told him, that makes you a gay fish. To which he responded, I'm not a fish.
It makes you wonder huh?
oh please jay-z has just as big of an ego as kanye does, no wonder their friends.
Re: Spindoc –
true. but you know kanye, jay-z, beyonce, and rihanna all roll together in that "arrogant bubble"…all 4 of them are totally nauseating…and Kanye is the worse of all.
_____________
but seriously, it's time to lay THIS story to rest.
Re: g.babyl0c805 – "Lamest mofo around"? How many millions are you worth?
Ok, he interrupted Taylor and was being himself again. Nobody is mentioning the fact that this fool came to the VMA's with a bottle of Hennessey and with drinking it straight from the bottle, and was actin a fool off the Henn that night. So, I am sure that he did wake up in the morning and regret what he did. Is it such a big deal that we have to keep talking about it day in and day out to where it is now topping Michael Jackson's death, yes. No, it was not racial, he was drunk. How many people have done stupid crap when they have been drinking?
The bottom line is this….1. Was it rude? Yes. 2. Is he an ass? Yes. 3. Was he tipsy that night? Yes. 4. Do we do stupid stuff when we are drunk? Yes. 5. Should we get over it and move on with our lives? YES!
Re: g.babyl0c805 –
right on girlie!
Re: ellebunny – arrgh Americans always bring it back to racism. You're all so dramatic. He was drunk, he did something stupid, and now he's paying for it big time. Don't make out you've never been a twat when drunk. I really don't think it had ANYTHING to do with anyones race.
