Rapper tantrums over video award
- Share via
Rap star Kanye West was named best hip-hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
West apparently was so disappointed at not winning for best video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for “We Are Your Friends.”
In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video “Touch the Sky” because it “cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons.”
“If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility,” West said.
