Kanye West Throws Tantrum Over VMA Loss

September 10, 2007 | Music

Kanye West is vowing he’ll never return to MTV after losing out at the Video Music Awards!

According to the Associated Press, Kanye threw a tantrum in front of a crowd after being shut out of the five categories he was nominated in.

As he waited for an elevator, the rapper reportedly screamed, “That's two years in a row, man ... give a black man a chance.”

Kanye was up for Male Artist of the Year and Quadruple Threat of the Year. He lost both of those to Justin Timberlake. He also lost out on Video of the Year.

The 30-year-old rapper is as well known for his opinions as he is for his music.

Before the show last night, he lashed out at Britney Spears’ performance, telling the Associated Press, “I can’t believe she would perform. She hasn’t had a hit record in years.”

Last year, he crashed the stage at the MTV Europe Awards after losing. He also drew controversy in 2005 when he criticized President Bush during a televised concert for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

I Love Kanye but he is really upsetting me with this cocky and selfish attitude. If you pay attention he claims he should have been the BLACK artist to perform and open the VMA’s. He continues to saye ME, but why didnt he say someone like T-PAIN, BEYONCE, AKON, DIDDY, 50 CENT, CHRIS BROWN or any other BLACK artist. NO, he;s not mad because BRITTNY”S white, he’s upset because it wanst him. The key word is him! I feal Kanye is very insecure with himself and more secure with money and fame! He really needs to get taht togehter cuz he can easily run his career in the dirt and be the nest MC HAMMER! Sorry to say it but its true!!!

He’s just bitter because a white guy won. He always has to play the black card. He just needs to admit that he needs to do better in order to win. He also needs to take some lessons in having class. He would fly off the handle if someone criticized his ability as an artist, but he feels more than inclined to slam Britney. She has enough going on without some over-egotistical chump insulting her.

He usually does have the number 1 album though…
might that mean anything?
so whether or not he is good the fans love him.

If I were Kanye West, I would stop acting like a loser and start acting more responisible. Like growing up and act like a real artist instead of blaming all his losses on everyone else. No wonder he keeps losing because no one like a born loser.

The guy is obviously feeling himself too much, he is not that great of a rapper and stop biting mase style be more original everyone know j-dila started this whole beats thing you riding on and quite frankly most of his style got everybody saying he is a fruit cake in disguise. Nobody is buying the whole engagement most down low guys are married.
