Beyonce Discusses Kanye West's VMA Behavior
 MTV reports that Beyonce has finally talked about the Kanye West incident at the VMAs. She talked with O: The Oprah Magazine's editor Gayle King about the unusual incident at the VMAs when Kanye West bursted on stage during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech and declared Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" video to be one of the greatest of all time. Beyonce says Kanye told her before the award that she would "have this award."
"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" Beyonce told O: The Oprah Magazine editor Gayle King after accepting her award. "And when they didn't call my name he was, like, completely shocked. And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!'
"But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment - and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech," she added, laughing.
It is no surprise to learn that Beyonce was horrified by Kanye's behavior because you could tell by the shocked expression on her face. Kanye has apologized several times for his behavior. Kanye's VMA interruption has become and Internet meme with online jokes showing Kanye interrupting events throughout history and telling other award winners that someone else is better. It's not clear what impact it will have on Kanye's career but a concert tour with Lady Gaga and Kayne West, that was planned last November, was recently canceled over "creative differences."
