Kanye West Talks About Why He Interrupted Taylor Swift

In an interview with Nick Cannon‘s Cannon’s Class, Kanye West said that God made him interrupt Taylor Swift‘s VMAs acceptance speech back in 2009. He said, “Right now, God is giving me the information. If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyonc had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row. I would’ve been sitting in the back.”

He continued, “They wouldn’t have made it the first award. It’s so ridiculous of an idea because, I had never heard of this person [Taylor] before, and ‘Single Ladies’ is, like, one of the greatest videos of all time.”

He added, “And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn’t want to go to the awards show because it was a set-up.”

Meanwhile, during the interview, Kanye also revealed that he has spent $50 million on his Sunday Service performances. He said, “I spent every dime that I have for marketing from Yeezy on Sunday Service. Every dollar I had. I spent $50 million last year on Sunday Service if you add up the operas, if you add up the flights. It was 120 people going to Jamaica.”
