Despite his repeated apologies for his interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Video at last year’s VMA’s, Kanye West can’t seem to keep his mouthed closed about the popular songstress.
West now says that Swift didn’t deserve to win a Grammy. West also criticized three other Grammy-winning artists and groups in a recent interview:
Where's our instant replay clock? Why are
the last four Albums of the Year: Taylor Swift, Dixie Chicks, Ray Charles and Herbie
Hancock? Like, you know, with all due respect...that's inaccurate."
The interviewer then asked the controversial rapper who should have won the prizes then, and West responded: "It's like 'SexyBack' - you know what I'm saying? Like [Justin Timberlake's] 'FutureSex/LoveSounds', Gnarls Barkley. How about Usher - 'Confessions'? How about albums that sold 10 million?"
When asked why he attended such awards if they were so repugnant to him, West replied: "Little kids, 6 years [old], that are singing in front of the mirror. They're also thinking about their Grammy speech; they're thinking about when there will be a VMA so these people, whoever run them... they have to take some responsibility to say what really happened in culture this year because we're marking it down."
West received stinging public backlash for his stage-crash of Swift last year, and spent half the year apologizing on Facebook and Twitter. Perhaps the addition of a diamond-encrusted tooth bridge which he recently showed of on ‘Ellen’ makes him feel like what comes out of his mouth is worth more now.
