Jay-Z Defends Kanye's VMA Outburst!

Uhhh, somehow we have a feeling that if someone had interrupted Beyonce's acceptance speech, her hubby Jay-Z would be
BBC Radio 1 interviewed Beyonce's main man today, and the music mogul totally defended Kanye West for interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs last Sunday, saying, "Of course it was rude, because it was her moment, but that's the way he really felt. I think it was rude, but the way they're treating him…He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."
Jay added, "He's just a superpassionate person...at the end of the day, we're gonna celebrate him for his passion more than vilify him. As he grows and matures, he has to balance that." Uhh, what if Kanye had stepped on stage and pulled the same stunt with Beyonce, insisting that Lady GaGa should have won Video of the Year? Jay probably would have had Kanye knocked off the stage faster than you could say, "I don't think you're ready for this jelly"!
Jay -Z continued, "I don't think he should lay low. I think he should move on and have a brilliant career." UGH. We love Kanye's music (well, 80% of the time) and he definitely has a great sense of style, but we wish he came with a mute button, and he definitely needs a serious ego check. Do you think he'll be able to move forward with his career like Jay-Z says?
