I was 9 years old at the time and thought Kanye was the biggest a****** ever for doing that. Then I remember watching his Runaway VMA redemption and was blown away. My favorite artist of all time since that day.

remember when beyonce claimed she wrote that neyo song by herself

I remember!
Every single time beyonce got accused of stealing from another artist

Yeah interrupting Taylor is bad but this is such a low blow.

Would they make a white man in the same position do the same?? I really doubt it.

It was really f***in bad

Way worse then this MAGA s***

Literally every f***in person hated kanye. The media made it seem like it was the worst thing someone has ever done lmao

bro it was bad lol. be in school stressed out tryna explain why you’re still a ye fan to a whole classroom of people acting like Ye pissed on the Bible on live tv

media was acting like Kanye committed an act of domestic terrorism by interrupting a white woman

no way in hell all those white dudes liked taylor swift. they just wanted a chance to ridicule a black man in public

More like Taylor Piss

Got her ass

media acting like kanye murdered someone

9

i was like a senior in hs lmao

Black man scape goated unfortunately

yeah s*** was crazy tho. everybody was hating on him except us fans

even mf president obama

I remember coming home and I had just missed it. I was so confused why everyone was booing him when they were doing the nominees

Dude already had the rep of being nuts so I think people were just looking for a reason to hate

I don’t remember the event itself, but I had to ask my mom if I could buy Graduation on my iPod Touch not long after and she gave me this long speech about how he was a terrible person and I shouldn’t support him.

Fast forward to 2021 and he’s my favorite artist of all time

I was a sophomore, and I remember watching it live. My best friend at the time was a huge Kanye fan, and I was a casual Kanye fan. I told him it was racist, and we got in a fight, but I was just being a dumbass 15 year old because it being racist doesn’t even make sense. I then thought it had to be staged or some wild s***. This was at the very infancy of twitter blowing up too, so I wasn’t even on it yet.

Kanye was hated, and written off as an a******. But the music was undeniable, obviously.

I think the trump s*** is much worse, and idk if he’ll ever recover from it because it’s a lot less trivial than the Swift incident

you old as s***

I watched it and laughed my ass off.

I was like 'yeaaahhh Boi!'

But yeah, it was talked about for months after that, years even. I remember writing a paper on it

True, white America took so much offense even if they barely knew who Swift was

They couldn't stop the GOAT producer tho

for white folks, it was probably one of the most outrageous travesties since 9/11. He was already disliked for the bush comment etc, but after the VMAs it reached a new plateau. Some viewed him as worse than a serial rapist

Black people for the most part didn't care. I remember my dad saying he a crazy nigga, laughing and walking away from the tv

SOON AS THEY LIKE YOU,
MAKE EM UNLIKE YOU

White America's reaction was on par with Janet's titty

It was not the biggest moment of her career she won a minor music video award. She didn't even win the main award. She won best female music vid and Beyonce still won best vid overall

As has been said she was already a platinum artist. The fact u think it was the biggest moment of her career just shows how overblown it was

I thought that it was part of the show.
