Kanye West Finally Apologizes
Filed under: MTV > Kanye West > Awardz > Taylor Swift
Kanye West definitely stole the show last night at the 2009 MTV VMAs.
When Taylor Swift took the stage after winning the Best Female Video award, she began to give her acceptance speech. That's when Kanye jumped on stage, took her mic, and told everyone that Beyonce had the best video ever.
Who knew he was such a Beyonce fan?
Well, his douchey move left Taylor speechless and fans upset with him.
But just hours after the incident, Kanye has taken to his official blog to clear things up and issue an apology. We're glad he listened to his PR people.
Says Kanye:
"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!!!! YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!
What do U make of this apology? Does it seem sincere or a publicity ploy?

hes a bitch, the end.
And we all thought Kanye was stupid for giving his award away and although he has the right to be stupid and give his award away, he can't expect other performers to give their awards away. What he did was rude and disgusting and his so-called apology was empty and not believable. F*uck Kanye!!!
what the fuck kind of apology is that. that apology is worse than the shit he pulled at the vmas. hes not sorry and he never will be. he just a douche for life.
Re: Andy27 – How is he racist?
He's so full of shit, even in his apology, he's sticking up for his actions. I can't stand him. I didn't like him before this and I definitely don't like him now.
that was such a half assed apology! he apologizes, the says- yet again!- that Beyonces vid was better. so then hes NOT sorry!
and wtf is up with the 'Welcome to the real world'? HE needs to be introduced to the real world- the world where you dont get to win Every award out there, a world where its fucking RUDE to bumrush someones acceptance speech… ugh. hes ridiculous. he will never. and yahoo just posted a spot on article about his immature behavior. i suggest you read it.
Yeah…that wasn't even a real apology.
You know..at the VMA's the winner always deserves it because the fans voted!! Even if you don't agree with it yourself.. What kind of apology is this anyway?
Such a loser..
what a fucking dick!!! why do people still like him? listen to his lyrics and u will see that hes a fucking cornball.
Better Back off em. Dude has an opinion so the fk what . He didnt disrespect her. Grow up kiddies. Go cry about it.
BULLSHIT. HE'S A PIECE OF SHIT. HE KNOWS HE'S A DOUCHEBAG AND OF COURSE HE GAVE HIS AWARD TO OUTKAST BECAUSE HE DIDN'T DESERVE IT BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN TAYLOR DOESN'T DESERVE TO HAVE IT. DAMN U KANYE. PIECE OF SHIT. DICKHEAD. YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE AND I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL FOR WHAT YOU DID TO TAYLOR. YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG. KUDOS TO BEYONCE FOR STEPING UP FOR TAYLOR, BUT IM SURE IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING KANYE DID AND SHE FELT BAD ABOUT BEING A PART OF IT. SO I DONT FIND HER ACTION VERY SINCERE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH. TAYLOR RULEZ AND SHE WON BECAUSE WE LOVE HER AND VOTED FOR HER BECAUSE SHE'S REAL, NICE AND DOWN TO EARTH, A TRUE STAR. SOMETHING THAT PIECE OF SHIT [KANYE] ISN'T. SO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TAYLOR, WE LOVE YOU AND WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU BB!.
OMG!! THIS GUY NEEDS TO STOP THINKING THE WORLD GIVES A FUCK WTF HE SAYS!!!!!! I CANT STAND KANYE WEST!!!!! HE JUST WNTAS ATENTION HE NEEDS TO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
I think it should be over now, he apologized. B did have the better video, K spoke what most were thinking. And you have to admit, the show was pretty lame…K brought some controversy. I think it was pretty hilarious, actually.
He is a total tool and that is what I think! Poor Taylor!
It was a total unsincere apology…….he's completely ridiculous person. I mean I get why beyonce's video was cool…yeah,it takes alot of effort for the dancing she did. But Taylor made a video with an actual story to it and that resonated more with todays youth then all the leotards and well….crotch shots beyonce popped out with. No one was bitter about Taylor winning and if Kanye had just bit his tongue and held on he would have seen Beyonce win best video of the year
Too late for apologizes. All the world watched poor Taylor be insulted by this dickhead. He has always been a fucking baby about everything. When he didnt win, it was wrong, when he did win, it was wrong. He is a racist. He straight up hates white people. He proved it with his dumb George Bush comment. It wasent his moment to grab the mic, it was Taylor's moment that he ruined and he can apologize a million times, it will never go away. Beyonce won an award also and at least she had the class to bring Taylor onstage and showed Kanye that he is a classless asshole. Ban his music. Dont buy his CD's, dont download his music or videos..He is a piece of shit who needs to learn a lesson about being a whiney baby..His mother must be turning in her grave.
What a douchebag!!!! That was no apology!!!! Kayne is a classless a-hole who deserves to have every award he has ever won taken away from him. I hope he fades into obscurity and we never ever have to hear from him again. Taylor Swift has more talent than Kayne. He should take lessons from B on how to be a star. What she did was the classiest thing I've ever seen allowing Taylor to finish her acceptance. B RULES!!!!
First off, Kayne was completely out of line during the VMAs. Its not always about who's video was "the best" its about the video the fans VOTE to be the best. Point blank, Taylor Swift's video was VOTED to beat out Beyonce's. That's not saying anything negative about Beyonce. Her video kicked ass too.
Secondly, Kayne's apology is definitely a PR stunt. If you actually read it, it pretty much says "I'm sorry because my agents say I need to be but I'm not sorry for my actions". He keeps saying things like "welcome to the real world". Wake up call Kayne — real world says they liked Taylor Swift's video better. Get over it…its not your call.
Third, major props to Taylor for holding it together and kicking butt with her performance right after Kayne's stunt. She showed that even though she is young she is the ultimate professional.
Finally, I was to say the Beyonce showed alot of class allowing Taylor Swift to come back on stage during her moment. Beyonce wasn't offended that Taylor beat her in a category. Beyonce shouldn't have had to share her moment with Taylor, but I'm so glad she did. She is a very classy lady.
that was so for publicity. his apology wasnt even sincere. still an asshole kanye
Kanye is racist and a douche. What he needs to do is watch his South Park episode every mourning when he wakes up. Your a Gay Fish Kanye
what a massive fuckbag
this whole event totally brightened my day. taylor swift is probably so absorbed by this publicity stunt she doesn't know what to do with herself. as for kanye…NO WAY HE TOTALLY MEANT THAT APOLOGYYYY *sarcasm* **yawnnnn** big deal. she needs to just put out a sex tape.
he's bullshit.
and his music sucks.
this is so fake. that move cost him a bunch of fans, taylor & beyonce got a lot more fans & he just realized that NO ONE LIKES HIS DOUCHE ASS.
he is so not sorry. he doesn't know the word RESPECT. if he sat down while outkast got their award, why the hell would he go up and say that when its not even him that's losing the award. gosh he such a douchebag. theres all this crap in his letter contradicting his "sorry" for taylor.
GO TAYLOR.
Learn some proper grammar Kanye. Fucking moron. KANYE doesn't care about WHITE PEOPLE. lmao
i totally lost all respect of kanye after he ruined taylor's moment. i used to love him, he just lost a fan. i don't take his apology as sincere because it just sounds totally douchy. your fans love you taylor!!!!!
p.s. perez i loved you look at the VMAs you rocked it!
Honestly, Taylor totalllyy deserves that award more than anyone else. And for Kanye to come on stage and ruin her moment is just ignorant. How rude can one person be? He such an asshole.
That was the worst fucking apology ever.
"I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME… THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! "
That's not an apology, DICK FACE.
Do you think Taylor should give her award to Beyonce, JACKASS?
Why don't you go kiss her big ass instead of Taylor, who WON it and DESERVED it…
DICK.
Thats NOT an apology. What he did is heartless. I dont care who he did it too. It was rude and uncalled for. Taylor is the sweetest girl ever and did NOT deserve for someone to steal the spotlight away from her. She deserved that moment and award. I dont care if you like her or not, that was just HORRIBLE! She looked so hurt after. Im so glad Beyonce had such class and let Taylor come back onto the stage and try again. Good for her. It really shows class on Taylors part for not saying anything to Kanye after, shes such a sweet girl. GOOD JOB TAY! YOU DESERVED IT!!!
TOO. MANY. EXCLAMATION. POINTS.
This was so bad! I love music, all kinds of music….even some of Kanye's stuff, but Taylor is one of those artists that you just have to love… she has completely revitalized the country pop industry and she is still a teenager! I couldn't believe what Kanye did at the VMAs! Terrible!
Some "apology." Scumbag.
Its not even sincere, he's just doing it to make the powers that be happy.
Kanye is a complete Deusch Bag! That wasn't an apology. You can't apologize and in the same sentence repeat the offence. Kanye has no class and I hope this means his career is over! What an idiot!
Well we all knew he was going to apologize but umm how about you just dont pick on a 17 yr old girl then you dont have nothing to be sorry about. fuck him that apologizy was not from anywhere near his heart. I hope JayZ Ruins his ass Jay Z owns New York, I hope hes ruined. fucking rasisit
he shouldn't have done it in the first place!
Re: chuyx83 – Your a dumbass motherfucker for saying that! Straught piece of shit thats what u are
HES A PURE JACKASS…HES JUST SAYING THAT SO HE WONT GET NO BAD RAP….DUMBASS….
Kanye west is a disgusting human being.
Is that an apology? He said sorry then said, welcome to the real world.
Im sorry, well… Actually, im not. This fucker is bipolar! He needs some serious psychiatry!!
Re: alihatestwilight – lmao…
its bull shit! hes just trying to cover his ass cause everyone hates him right now! and hopefully everyone will still hate him! i dont buy it. hes still the biggest ass hole!
He already showed his class, he can't take that back. He probably didn't even write that. How does he have a gf again???
He needs to start thinking before he does shit like that he had no right to do that no matter what you think of taylor that is rude. His apology is nothing but a half ass, prob drunk, attempt to save face and he desired the boos.
I don't recall it being the Kanye West Awards, he needs to keep his stupid opinion to himself….complete douche bag!
trying to save whats left of his image. he needs to get help mentally.
Kanye won the gold medal in the 100 meter douchebag!
what an asshole!! hate him!
Ppl are being too harsh wishing him to die and bringing his mom into this, he fucked up he got it! he said sorry, taylor didnt deserve that at all i do agree, but beyonce stepped up and she got her moment. I mean we all expected kanye to act like he always does… they are gonna make a song together wattcchhhh
either way, kanye west should go fuck himself.
"Being Real" as he put it doesn't mean "Being Right!" He took freedom of speech just a little too far. Taylor Swift deserved better treatment than his usual public outburst. I hope everyone will ban buying his music and plead with all the award shows to ban him. He's lucky that "boos" was all he got… And, that was NOT an apology, but did we really expect anything else?
HE'S fuking walking CONTRADICTION!!
BAN KAYNE FROM VMAS that will make the public proud
he's a sorry excuse for a human being
sorry not a real apology. If it was there would be no mention of Beyonce. But then I wouldn't expect Kayne to really have any class or know how to act in public.
He wouldn't have to feel bad for her if he'd kept his ass in his seat and his mouth shut.
ASS WIPE
Taylor is only 19, has a great voice, plays an instrument, writes her own music, and came out with a great video…she completely deserves her award!
this isn't the first time someone jumped up on stage during the mtv music awards show. why is everyone getting pissy about it? no one got up in arms when the dude from rage against the machine climbed up on the set and sat there for most of the show. everyone laughed when MCA from the beastie boys dressed up as Nathaniel Hornblower and jumped up on stage to interrupt. it's MTV, who cares? when was the last time they actually showed a video?
He's proud of what he did, hes even watching the VMA's at his house. If i humiliated someone that bad and was sorry I would never want to see it cause I would feel like a douce. Hes probably watching laughing. Fuck Kanye
Im burning Kanye's CD's right now.
How can you apologize for interrupting someone's acceptance speech to claim they didnt deserve it, then kind of repeat the same feelings you had before in an "apology"?
Really? That's an apology? Kanye needs to realise he's not the center of the world. He can suck it.
He is an ass.
this a douchebag! horrible apology! asshole! he even had the nerve to say Beyonce's video was better than Taylor's. so lame!
well his mother passed away so i dont think this has anything to do with his mother being proud and hes deffinately not a racist, thats follishness ppl are always so quick to jump to racism, get over it hes not racist, its an opinion, wat he said was honest he just needs to learn that there is a time and place for everything, this wasnt his time! regardless if this is a sincere apology, he made him self seem like an ass if anything this is benefiting taylor because everyone loves her 10 times more than they did before.. kanye screwed himself bad, and hes gunna have to deal with the consequences.
GO TAYLORR
Just trying to save his ass!!! Shut up ASSHOLE!!!!!!!
"REAL pop culture"? I think he needs a dictionary. Pop culture means "what's popular" , and what is popular is judged by how many people are into something. More people were into (thus voted for) Taylor Swift's video than for Beyonce's (and I have a feeling Beyonce's video appealed more to men than it did to women, so thank you for making it clear what a sleaze you are on top of how much of a douche you are, Kanye).
On top of that, who made Kanye the "Grand Judge" of what (his version of) pop culture is?
What he did was just plain rude and is the equivalent being invited to someones house and helping yourself to what's in the fridge or their wardrobe (I'm talking to you, Lindsay Lohan).
Next time pick on some (one with a head as big as yours) your own size.
i like george bush more than kayne right now and im a democrat
I LOVE GEORGE BUSH COMPARED TO HIM!!
kanye is a racist prick who needs to sucks cock to get over his hidden homsexuality
GO SUCK A COCK KAYNE! THE WHOLE WORLD HATES YOU
AND YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL!!!!
its all publicity to save his already gone career.
Even if he apologized two minutes after it happened it still wouldn't matter. His actions tonight showed what kind of person he truly is………a man who's ego is too big for his body.
ummm he is still an ass though:))
This is a horrible apology. Is it even realy an apology. I am just keepin it real. As if Taylor didn't deserve her award. Just look at record sales and Taylor has Beyonce beat. Kanye is an ass and he should never be allowed on a show again. I am still suprise that you Perez are being this nice about it. Taylor is a sweet girl who didn't deserve this. Start rippin into this asshole. He is a short ugly man inside and out and he needs a reality check majorly. He does not know it all, and he is an idiot. I just wish he would go away.
the apology isn't really an apology. anyway, i heard that entry was taken down already
i used to like kanye alot when he was first coming out, but he has really let all this go to his head. he is out of his mind & so wrong to do that. he always has to make everything about him. poor taylor
WHY DOES HE SUCK SO MUCH?
Total PR and his "apology" is half ass'd. And he grabbed the only lyrics of her song he knew to through out there as if he actually listens to her music! He beats out Jon for the Douche of the Year award, no one will grab the mic from him on that one. Kudos to Beyonce for giving Taylor her moment to shine. Little disappointed no one called Kayne out, Diddy some what did… Expect more from Russel Brand.
He's an asshole… arrogant self-righteous asshole…
Little bitch Kanye realized that he messed with the wrong girl.
She is big time, over 10 million albums sold.
The big dogs of music finally put his ass in check.
He may have finally mouthed his way out of the music business.
Damn right he should. See the screen cap @ ayebeclear.com
wow! what a tool box. I've said it for years, the man is a ghetto-tard.
I thought this had a familiar sound…"On November 2, 2006, when "Touch the Sky" failed to win Best Video at the MTV Europe Music Awards, West went onto the stage as the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends" and argued that he should have won the award instead.[43][44] Hundreds of news outlets worldwide criticized the outburst."
still a douche, that was a bad apology.
no one likes him now.
fuck his bogus apology. he's so arrogant it makes me sick. i'd go straight for taylor swift.
How many times is he going to get away with this bullshit? I dont understand why anyone would believe his apology either, he is a fool who abuses then apologizes afterwards thinking it will all go away. . . and it usually does for him, He needs to understand, his opinion does not, did not count here! This was PUBLIC vote, Good for TAylor she has more fans who voted then the others! Obviously the women she was up against are amazing, but they did not have enough fans who took the time to vote in that catagory! Appreciate it!
I felt so bad for Taylor….he's such an arrogant pig. I like his music, but I lost a ton of respect for him when he did that to her. I think his "apology" is just a bunch of B.S. that his publicists put together for him
hes still a douche
WOW… what a horrible, backhanded apology
he's pretty much saying "well, im kanye, so i can say what i want and do what i want and yall just get over it BC IM REAL!!"
he's such an idiot
i will NEVER, EVER buy anything he produces or sings
he is a total douchebag
that isn't a real apology at all
he's just realizing that the publicity stunt didnt work and is just backtracking somewhat
TEAM TAYLOR ( :
i think his label and all his pr people went crazy and basically knew he would gain soooo much negative attention and loss of record sales from his low class ghetto little act he put on tonight so they made him apologie he is full of shit the kanye that stole taylors moment that is the real kanye west i think his apology was forced by his entourage he def lost me and my whole family as fans. what a real piece of shit i hope he goes down im sick of him bragging about all the money and material things he buys in all his songs im sorry but bragging is not music and it is really getting old especially in the middle of a recession when everyone is out of work no one wants to her u f-ing bragging in every single f-ing sog u looser.
He says "IM SORRY BUT.." he retracts his apology. I mean, "apology".
Re: chuyx83 –
You are one sick son-of-a-bitch!!! How dare you bring his mother into this!!! I am just as pissed off at Kanye as every one else but you don't bring his deceased mother into this. Who raised you? They did a shit job!
WHAT A FUCKING DOUCHE!!!! he is just a racist and taylors records sold WAY more then beyonces did so obviously she's a part of this so called "real" pop culture. this was an apology like a bitchy little girl would make
I think he is a racist. I think he's gay, but using that kinds loose looking girlfriend to cover. I wonder about that bottle of booze he was holding on the red carpet. Did he drink it? Maybe he has a booze problem…or just anger management issues. In any case, he needs to see someone about some of the above cause what he did tonight was so not okay.
This proves to me why i really hate him. Seriously her first moon man and he has to crush her moment. what a huge a whole. sooo disrespectful and im sure that he only said sorry so the world wouldnt think he is such an a whole. Kanye stop drinking and actually think out the crap ur gonna do before u do it. FOREAL, STOP THE BS!!! and dont even come to the next vmas or awards ur just gonna make urself look like a fool.
he made an ass out of him self so he need to Apologize and J probable made him… his mother would have been really pissed at him for that
fucking asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor girl. To have what should be a wonderful moment ruined so terribly by such an egotistical a=hole is a real tragedy!
hes being sarcastic, pig face!!!
Wow! Ya know what that sound was??? That was Kanye flushing his career down the toilet!!
ohh and im sure he just pulled that pathetic sorry attempt straight out of his ass.
