Kanye Soy-Bombs Taylor Swift’s VMA Moment, Apologizes

In case you were watching True Blood or cleaning your apartment or something, it may interest you to know that hilarious hip-hop star Kanye West made quite the spectacle of himself at MTV’s silly awards thing this evening. A few seconds into Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech after winning the award for Best Female Video, Kanye bounded onstage, took the microphone, and informed a stunned crowd that Beyoncé’s video for “Single Ladies” was more deserving (we’d probably go along with that). So, he was ejected from the awards and he’s been taking a beating on Twitter all night. But later in the show, “Single Ladies” scored the award for Video of the Year, which does make its loss in the Best Female Video category seem a little weird, right? Anyway, Kanye has already said sorry on his blog, so water under the bridge. Video and an all-caps apology after the jump.

Here’s the video:


And here’s Kanye’s blogged apology (his site seems to be down right now):
