Kayne West Freaks out onstage at Video Music Awards

Kanye West jumped on stage at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards in Copenhagen, Denmark, after another act won the award for Best Video, reports MTV.com. At one point during the show the inebriated West took to the stage, interrupting Justice Vs Simian's acceptance speech for Best Video for "We Are Your Friends," looked around the theater, and burst out in a string of profanity, explaining why his video "Touch the Sky"should have won.

He said "F*** this! N****, n****, this video cost a million dollars! I have Pam Anderson, I'm jumpin'across canyons and s***."

The other act on stage treated him with good humor, and one member said "well, you're going to have to share." West replied, "Hey, if I don't win the awards show loses credibility. I appreciate it man, you know, it's nothing against you, I've never seen your video, it's nothing against you, but hell no, man!"

Later West was speaking to backstage commentators, and said "I don't have anything against the act that won, that's the liquor, sorry."

West did win for Best Hip Hop Act..

At a post-show press conference, West defended his outburst, saying, "I haven't seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good but no way better than 'Touch The Sky.'... That is complete bull****, I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV. It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award."
