Kanye Tells Leno: "I only wanted to help people."

kanyeonleno.jpg

Kanye West brought some drama to the premiere of Jay Leno's new NBC primetime show tonight, commenting on his disastrous interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Kanye told Leno:

    "My entire life, I've only wanted to give and do something that I felt was right. And I immediately knew in the situation that it was wrong, and it wasn't a spectacle or just ... you know, it's actually someone's emotions, you know, that I stepped on."

And poor Kanye lamented over his own pain in having to deal with the fallout:

    "Yeah, it's been extremely difficult ... just dealing with the fact that I hurt someone or took anything away, you know, from a talented artist or from anyone, because I only wanted to help people."

Oh, so now he's Mother, F-ing Teresa! This guy is a kid, really -- a big, rich kid, but a kid, nonetheless. OR he's the best actor ever -- having pulled off the most ridiculous scam in the history of the VMA's, staging and faking the whole thing right along with MTV producers ...

He went on to tell Leno:

    "... it was very rude, period ... [I knew I'd made a mistake] as soon as I gave the mic back to her and she didn't keep going ... I'm just ashamed that my hurt caused someone else's hurt."

Check out the emotional silence before Kanye starts running his mouth. Roll tape...



Enough, already. Are we done with this?

TOOL.

I am NOT buying his lies. He was either DRUNK or has extreme impulse behavior issues. He needs help from a mental professional. He robbed the attention of the tribute to Michael Jackson and to Swift. Kanye West just has to be the center of atention.

Don't believe that crap. He will do it again, he does this sh!t every year and I'm tired of it.Kanye in the words of obama YOU'RE A JACKA$$.Quit using your mother's death as an excuse to get sympathy you idiot!God i hope your career goes down hill.

He is out of control. Drunk. Stupid. Mentally ill.

BAN KANYE. Let him go to the land of WE DON'T GIVE A F__K.

Booo he is still a douche bag. I felt bad for him when his mother died but it doesn't give him the right to be an ass to whomever he chooses. I don't feel bad for him one bit. His misery now is only half of what Taylor felt when he took the mike out of her hand.

MANNNNNNNNN! LOOK AT ALL THE PUBLICITY HE IS GETTING FROM THAT!!!!! THAT´S ALL HE WANT! HE DOESNT WANT TO APOLOGIZE,´CAUSE IF HE REALLY WANTED,HE WOULD TALK ONLY WITH TAYLOR, HE WOULDN´T HAVE MADE A CIRCUS WITH THIS,HE THINKS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE THIS AS A BEAUTIFUL THING? "OHH HE´S APOLOGIZING,SO SWEET" GUESS WHAT?NOOOOO WE DONTT,WE KNOW WHAT U ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE FROM THAT!!HE IS SUCH AN IDIOT!!!HE LOST MY RESPECT!!!LOOOOOSERRRRR



Posted by: deborah from brasil

dumb ass producers to let a known piece of shit on their show, kind of like Britney used to be. they booked her just to see what kind of crazy ass shit she would pull and then everyone would be talking the next day. it will be on the cover of every tabloid. all a setup!

What is it with these grown men who feel the need to be so disrespectful to teenage girls? Jamie foxx trashed 16 year old miley cyrus on his radio show and then went on jay leno's show to apologize. Now kanye west treated 19 year old taylor swift in a rude way and he also went on jay leno's show to apologize. If some white artist had said or done any of this to rihanna how upset would kanye, jamie, or jay-z have been?

Why did Leno even let him on the show?

LENO IS A WHORE. Anything for ratings.

Go play with your cars, we are not fans.

could this guy be more of a di@k if he tried, really you only want to help people, then go to a f-cking soup kitchen and feed the poor, Kanye West your F-ckery is tried and stale,no one cares and people please stop airing all his stupid non apologies and hopefully he will disappear into obscurity like every other rapper has.

You know what? Taylor Swift is going to thank Kanye right about now because he just gave her the biggest publicity plug he could ever which had rupercussions across the world. Some people are going "huh, who is Taylor Swift" (not everyone lives in the USA or listens to country people!). Thanks Kanye, through you're whatever drunkenness or arrogance you actually did a good thing, LOL!!! Narcissism is a nasty disease though Kanye, you will forever be trying to fill up a void.

The whole time that i was watching the video i just wanted to punch this guy in the face. He is a racist jerk who deserves to get beat down. This asshole is a bully who gets off on picking on people that he knows will do nothing to him. I say good riddance bitch as you fade away and inevitably become another statistic when you overdose on whatever it is that you are on.

beat your girlfriend and then be "embarrassed and ashamed" act like a total f**cking jerk and then be "embarrassed and ashamed" i suppose he saw his paster and prayed to Mommy too. sick!

Just because one feels "embarrassed and ashamed" and keeps apologising does not make things right. This guy is an idiot who will do it again just to get attention.



Posted by: hmm...

What a coinkydink for Leno. Maybe this whole thing was staged for/by NBC?

50 years ago...Entertainers did not treat each other like this. They had respect for each other. Mr. Big Mouth you think your career is over? God!! I hope so!! Maybe all of you non-professional LA LA's will keep your mouth shut for once. We don't give a rat's ass what you think about politics, Global Warming etc... Just entertain. If another person is on stage getting an award THEY ARE BLEEDING UP THERE FOR A REASON. Since you now have free publicity I hope it back fires on you.
GO THE F**K Home.

Posted by: Kanye=GayFish

DONE to death.
Kanye, go far away and stay there for a very long time. Your crocodile tears mean nothing to anyone. You need medication to control your mental illness. I am embarrassed for you.

He's not going to reflect, he's going to hide. You better watch your back, what goes around, comes around. While reflecting, don't forget your best friend - the Bottle!

You know what? I'm starting to get the feeling that people are mad at Kanye West. What's wrong with him? Does he have bad breath or something?

YO! KANYE! HELP THE WORLD BY STICKING A GUN IN YOUR MOUTH AND PULLING THE TRIGGER!



Posted by: me

All this is, is DAMAGE control...he's nothing but a stupid kid with money and a huge UNDESERVED ego. GROW UP...yo momma would have been embarrassed and disappointed



Posted by: Will in Atlanta

People, wake up. MTV pulls a stunt like this every year on the VMA's to get front page publicity world-wide. Remember the Madonna-Britney french kiss? Same result was achieved here. Front page, world-wide, FREE publicity. I know Kanye is dumb, but he aint this smart either. MTV does it again!

This has nothing to do with his mother or skin color, Kanye West is just a good for nothing douche bag! Please stop using your dead mother/color of your skin to get sympathy, because you are making the rest of us look bad. You are not a baby, besides we've all lost someone close to us at one point in our lives; i got news for ya bro (That's life, & it's inevitable), & it's not possible for everyone to win an award or something else. So quit fretting Kanye when things are not done your way & as a human being you really do suck. Bloody hell!



Posted by: anonymous

This is a stunt....doesn't anybody still get it? He says he only wants to help somebody, right? This stunt will help pull rating for Taylor Swift, who is known to young females fans only, not everyone even knows her, just like John Mayer. Him and JOhn Mayer are both into this, I tell you. Check JM's twitters. You are all fools for falling into this. What is it with musicians? They are always into ridiculous stunts, rants, costumes, relationships, etc...........gees, if you guys/gals have talents, why bother do all these to attract attention? Insecurity........musicians are all about noise.........sickening!

SUCK A LOAD OF F___KING CRAP.



Posted by: anonymous

BTW, is Taylor the blonde version of Cher? Wow....she and John Mayer are the future Sonny and Cher...ha ha ha ha ha



Posted by: NOT a fan

If he "Immediately knew in the situation
that it was wrong" he should have IMMEDIATELY apologized!!!

Not buying it!! He always does something stupied, then he starts his "boohoo fill sorry for me" Get some help Kanye, you need it!

I think this is the begining of something great. Now that the rap wars have settled, we will now see fighting between styles of music. Country singers will lay down disses against rappers, metal singers will lay down disses against folk singers, and it will all end up in a major battle royal which will culminate in Spinal Tap and Tenacious D merging to form a mega power that cannot be stopped... until they meet WYLD STALLIONS!

how the hell does this idiot think that getting up on stage and taking away a big moment from a 19 year old girl is a good thing? he needs to realize that not everyone in the world shares his opinions on music. who picks the winners of vma awards? the fans who vote on the mtv.com and majority of them are teenage girls. he needs to realize that teenage girls are more likely to relate to taylor swift, who sings a lot of songs about being in high school, than they are to beyonce. i don't understand why anyone was shocked that taylor won over beyonce in that category. to be honest, i'm not a fan of taylor swift and if it had been up to me, i would have given that award to beyonce. but i get that the people who vote for that shit relate to taylor better and i'm fine with it. kanye doesn't seem to understand that it's not all about what he wants. his ego needs to be brought down about 20 notches.



Posted by: Anonymous

West should be banned from any and all future Music Award shows!! He is such a cry baby, hasn't he pulled something like this before? Give it up man your not that talented now and you never will be!! Do you really think that acting like a DIVA will get you anywhere? That poor girl, someone needs to slap the sh*t out of you!



Posted by: anonymous

he alwaysdoesthis at all award shows i dont get how he keeps gettin invited back mtv are stupid for inviting him he did get on stage at the emas when his song didnt win from his first record his done it a few other times too his a douche damn he is racist he always wants black people to win when white people are talented too and its not like kayne is mega talented the guy cant sing his rapping is ok its nothing special id rather listen to pdiddy



Posted by: Judy kay

THE WORLD IS CHANGING..iT WILL BE ALL BLACK AWARD SHOWS SOON..THATS OKAY...I HOPE ALL WHITE PEOPLE JSUT STOP DOING WHAT THEY DO AND LETS WATCH WHAT HAPPENS



Posted by: white chic

wait a minute..i saw both the vma's and leno...first i thought kanye was a real jerk for doing what he did..it was wrong period..he has the right to his opinion and even to express it, he just chose the wrong forum..however i think he genuinely feels bad..its possible he does have impulse issues (not thinking through all the consequences before proceding with words or actions) i think what he feels bad about is that now he sees it from taylors perspective which before he only saw it from his: he thought it would be a "cool" call it like you see it antic in support for his possy and beyonce, not far fetched for a rapper, people are just products of there environment and everyone is racist to some degree..i wish we could all just admit that and move on..now instead of thinking hes a jerk i just think he did a jerkish thing and now he sees it as a jerkish thing, which shows growth on his part.

I don't give a crap what his excuse is, there is no call for what he did. He needs to go to rehab or something, because he's going off his rocker!
