Kanye West issued an apology to Taylor Swift for interrupting her acceptance speech Sunday night at the MTV VMA Awards:
I feel like Ben Stiller in “Meet the Parents” when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave… That was Taylor’s moment and I had no right in any way to take it from her. I am truly sorry.
After the incident Sunday night, Kanye posted a slightly deranged, all caps apology that was gone from the site by Monday morning:
“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!”
“BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! … 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!!!! “
Kanye is set to appear on the premiere episode of Jay Leno’s 10 pm talk show on NBC tonight. Leno must be thanking the talk show Gods for his good fortune. Unfortunately, it’s reported Kanye will be singing only. Drat.
