Kanye, you make it hard for me to love you.
Kanye West is furious that he didn’t take home any Moonmen at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.
“He told MTV he is really disrespected and doesn’t know if he’ll do the show again,” a source tells Usmagazine.com. “He left the show furious. That’s probably why he took off right away.”
According to the Associated Press, the 30-year-old rapper threw a tantrum in front of media and crew backstage as the show was ending. While waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, he began yelling about losing all five categories for which he was nominated.
“That’s two years in a row, man … give a black man a chance,” West said, stomping around his entourage. “I’m trying hard, man, I have the … number one record, man.”
West was up for Male Artist of the Year, as well as Quadruple Threat of the Year, awards which went to Justin Timberlake. His video “Stronger,” was nominated for Video of the Year, a prize which later went to Rihanna for “Umbrella,”
“Stronger” also lost out on Best Direction to Timberlake’s “What Goes Around…Comes Around.” The song also lost “Best Editing” honors to Gnarls Barkley’s “Smiley Faces.”

unfortunately, he is a prime example of a talented person who is way too cocky & unpleasant. he makes it really, really difficult for me to even admit that i like his music because he is such a disrespecting person.
