DID JAY AND BEYONCE HAVE A GREAT FIGHT OVER KANYE?

Not sure how real or true this is,  but I am going to say it anyway. MediaTakeOut has reported that Kanye’s bumrush of Taylor Swift resulted in a huge fight between Jay and Beyonce. Now, an unnamed insider said that MTV wanted Kanye to come back  up there and say sorry in front of everybody in the room. Kanye refused to do that and opted to leave instead. Jay didn’t like the way MTV did his homey ‘Ye and then when Beyonce later got on the stage and rocked with Swifty, Jay saw it as siding with the other side. Jay ended up hanging out with Rihanna after dismissing B for the rest of the evening. I don’t know if this is true, but I do know that RiRi and Jay were photographed hanging out. RiRi didn’t go to the awards so perhaps this is true? I don’t know…its all speculation.

KANYE APOLOGY TO TAYLOR SWIFT A STUNT?

By illseed

Now, we see Kanye West looking all-sympathetic after being a monster. Jay Leno gets him to almost cry at the mere mention of his mother and a huge ratings boost. AND, Taylor Swift is redeemed. Sales go up. Beyonce looks like a saint, mo’ money! Now, here is what somebody emailed me. I didn’t edit this at all.

My now ex-boyfriend is a producer over at MTV and he told me that they were going to create another spoof for this next award show. Movie awards was Eminem and Bruno, this time…Kanye and Taylor Swift.

Let’s dissect the VMA:

1. Kanye did this at the beginning of the show during the first award nomination. MTV planned this to keep us glued to their network.

2. Right after the incident Rhapsody aired a commercial stating,”we listen to jay z, we listen to Pink but right now is Taylor’s moment.”

3. There are 3 winners at the VMA…Beyonce, T.Swift and Kanye.

Kanye is gaining so much publicity(bad publicity is good publicity) from this stunt. His fans doesn’t care if he dissed a country singer, they will still buy his next album.

4. Beyonce saves the day and dedicates her award to the young singer. You think B really cares about a VMA at this point in her career…NO.

5.Taylors album sales will get a significant boost because people feel sorry for her.

6.If MTV really was embarrassed by the stunt, they would not have re-aired it on the rerun episode of the awards or posted it on their website.

I feel that this information is necessary because we can’t allow the media to blind us and think we are stupid. And the sad thing is they are using our talented Hip Hop artists to do the dirty work. Corporations such as Viacom(own MTV, BET,VH1,Comedy Central-Dave Chapelle show) are exploiting our people and our music. Its sad that Kanye cosigned to do this spoof and he should apologize to Hip Hop not just Taylor. All MTV cares about is “Advertisment Dollars.”
