During Taylor Swift’s award speech at the 2009 MTV awards, Kanye West rushed the stage, took the mic and aired his objections to the stunned crowd while the heartbroken Swift just stood there. West complained that Beyoncé should have taken the award after making “One of the best videos of all time!” (referring to Single Ladies). After the event, West apologized and went into a period of seclusion for months, probably to recover from the backlash; even Barack Obama called him a “Jackass” for taking her moment. In November 2010, West defended his actions, stating that he didn’t think his comments were arrogant and that it was “retarded” that Swift was even in the same category. So much for the apology.
