It seems like Kanye West married the wrong woman because he has defended Beyonce’s honor more than he has his own wife Kim Kardashian.
Yesterday, at the Grammys when Beck beat out Beyonce for Album of the Year, Kanye went onto to the stage about to do the same thing he did when Taylor Swift beat her out. Then, just as he was about to do it again, he stopped himself and jumped off the stage. People thought he was joking around, but he told E! afterwards he was serious.
He told his sister-in-law Khloe Kardashin and E!’s after party:
“I don’t know what he said, all I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more. ‘Flawless,’ Beyoncé video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it,” ‘Ye began to say with his usual intensity.
“Because what happens is, when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration and we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place.
“Then they do this whole promotional event, they’ll run the music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they want commercial advertising. Like, no, we not playing with them no more. By the way, I got my wife, my daughter and my clothing line, so I’m not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk but I am here to fight for creativity. That’s the reason why I didn’t say anything tonight. But you all know what it meant when ‘Ye walks on the stage.”
The best part of his rant (which I can’t share with you because E! makes embedding their video so hard) is that Khloe eggs him on. I wonder if she is doing that to be supportive or to get rid of him? I am hoping the latter! When it comes to Kim, her face says it all. When it comes to Beyonce, this album was far from her best work and didn’t deserve the Grammy for it. When it comes to Beck, who even knew he had a new album out and was recording new music?
Forgetting about all of that, Beck handled almost being Kanye’d brilliantly. In fact, his response during a post-show interview with Access Hollywood is admirable. He said, “I was excited. I was disappointed that he walked off away because it was a tease. It’s like come on; I want a Kanye moment here.” Then he added, “I wish he stayed.”
But he didn’t, I guess Kim is having an effect of her husband. Which kind of bums Beck and me out because I wanted to see him be the dick we have seen him be in the past. If the Grammys gave out a Dick of the Year Award, I think he would win every year.
What do you think of what Kanye did to Beck?
