Kanye West says he crashed Taylor Swift's awards speech because God told him to

Kanye West has said he only crashed Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards speech in 2009 because God told him to.

West famously ran onto the stage at the 2009 ceremony to protest Swift’s Best Female Video win, arguing that the trophy should have gone to Beyoncé’s video for “Single Ladies”.

“Right now, God is giving me the information and he ain’t gave me no other information other than this information, so that means he wants me to say this now,” West explained. “If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row.

He continued: “I would’ve been sitting in the back, they wouldn’t have made it the first award and they wouldn’t have made it so ridiculous of an idea, because I had never heard of this person before then. And ‘Single Ladies’ is one of the greatest videos of all time.”

2. god never sits me in the front row

"If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row."

Is he hearing voices?

3. I have to keep reminding myself not to blurt out what I really think because he is mentally ill

and I DO have compassion for those with mental health issues.

But damn. He is dangerous to himself and others. I'm no Kardashian fan, but at this point, I'm hoping Kim thinks of the kids and FLEES.

4. How does he know it's God and not some other magical entity?

5. Really?

1. God talked to Kanye West specifically.
2. God wanted Beyonce to win, not Taylor Swift.
3. God really liked "Single Ladies."
4. God wanted the world to know His Truth.
5. God wanted Kanye to be his Prophet about Swift vs. Beyonce.


Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!

6. God should tell Kanye to get some mental help.

11. Perhaps His god Did

But, being a monumental egomaniac, he only listens to the parts he likes.
Or, he's hearing voices.
Your choice!

7. He's probably binge watching Person of Interest before it is squelched by Netflix.

8. How does a man with an educator mother

have such a poor command of the English language?

He make’s trump sound articulate.

9. Oh FFS

Talk about first-world problems...

10. Sounds like a bipolar manic episode.

Kanye needs to stay on his medication.
