Kanye West definitely is all shades of drama and The Grammy awards was more colourful because Kanye was in attendance.
Before the show kicked off, the stars hit the red carpet and there were quite a lot of attractions on the red carpet, but one of the major highlights was when Kanye grabbed Kim's behind and claimed ownership of it.
We likey!
Right after performing twice during the Grammys telecast and delivering the best red carpet line of the year, Kanye West walked on stage in a pretend repeat of his 2009 interruption of Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech.... right after Beck was announced winner for album of the year category. When asked why he did it.
I don’t even know what [Beck] said. I just know that, the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We aren’t going to play with them no more. ‘Flawless.’ Beyoncé’s video. And Beck needs to respect artistry, he should have given his award to Beyoncé. At this point, we tired of it. What happens is, when you keep on diminishing art, and not respecting the craft, and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration. We, as musicians, have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyoncé album, and they feel like it takes them to a different place. And then they do this promotional event, and they’ll run the music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they want commercial advertising. We aren’t playing with them anymore. And by the way, I got my wife, my daughter, and I got my clothing line, so I’m not going to do nothing that would put my daughter at risk, but I am here to fight for creativity. That’s why I didn’t say anything tonight, but you all knew what it meant when ‘Ye stepped on that stage,” Kanye said.
The 2015 Grammy Awards held last night and had several a-list acts in attendance.
While we’ve brought you all the eye-candy photos from the event, here’s a super-cute photo we came across showing Rihanna having a chat with Beyonce and Jay Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy and we think this is all sorts of adorable.
We’re pretty sure Rihanna was telling Blue how lucky she was to have amazing parents like Bey and Jay.
