Kanye West Feels Celebrity Backlash, Swift Earns Support
Not long after Kanye West’s now infamous on stage rant at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday, fans and celebrities hit Twitter. Blasting the rapper, who is often lauded for his talent, a number of celebrities including Capitol Records’ Jaicko, say Kanye lost cool points. “Cmon kanye…I’m disappointed in u bro…u just lost a couple points from me,” Jaicko wrote late Sunday.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift
West’s rant, which included grabbing the mic from Swift, also upset Kelly Rowland. Recognizing the stolen moment, like Beyonce mentioned before giving Swift the floor to speak during her Video of the Year acceptance speech, Rowland wrote: “I LOVE Kanye and I LOVE TAYLOR, and OF COARSE I LOVE B!! But NO ONE should have a moment taken away from them…“
While sources say Taylor Swift and her mother took West’s interruption hard, allegedly crying backstage, they now have a new group of supporters including Trey Songz and Keri Hilson.
Songz, tweeting Swift, wrote “you deserve all you receive beautiful, let no man tell you different. “
Keri Hilson, admiring Swift’s return to the stage later in the evening, like many others, wrote “YAAAAAY! Taylor got her moment!!”
According to MTV, the “808s & Heartbreak” star was booted shortly after a controversial on stage rant that disrupted the first-ever acceptance speech from country star Taylor Swift — but not before another altercation.
MTV sources say West and longtime foe/artist P!nk nearly came face to face after West issued the words “I’m sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time“. Sources say P!nk was so upset that she began to approach the rapper as he returned to his seat amidst “boos” from the audience and was thus escorted away by security.
After being asked to leave, West left New York’s Radio City Music Hall.
But Pink was not done, she later tweeted about the incident, stating: “Kanye west is the biggest piece of sh*t on earth. Quote me.”
“My heart goes out to Taylor Swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her,” Pink went on to say.
