Celeb News: Kanye: "Taylor won her VMA because of closet racism"

It’s been almost seven years since Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift’s VMA speech in 2009 to declare that Beyonce, in fact, had the “best video of all time,” but the rapper can’t seem to let the topic go. In a new radio interview with Steve Harvey, Yeezy brought up Swift out of the blue, even after Harvey said he “really wasn’t” trying to talk about her.

“It’s not about Kanye West. It’s not about Taylor Swift,” West said. “There’s a lot of people in America that feel like they don’t have the platform to stand up and express their closet racism. Before they had that platform, one really easy way to express it was to say, ‘Eff Kanye West.’”

West went on to blame Britney Spears’ 2007 meltdown, saying, “As soon as Britney shaved her head and they saw that money going down, they had already marked what that award was going to be that night,” indicating that the powers-that-be saw Swift as the next pop superstar.

It's sad that he's still bringing it up "out of the blue" in 2016, isn't it?

Is this a man or a child.. :/

Like, Kanye is a musical genius, but does he have a mental disease? this isn't meant to be offensive, but he reminds me of the kid with autism that was a genius on the piano.

He's basically saying that as soon as Britney had her meltdown and ruined her image the industry moved on to Taylor Swift as the new "white" "blonde" "American" pop star.

Not really a diss.
Basically, out with the old, in with the new.

If anything, he's a man with a controversial personality, who is straight to the point, rants a lot and is honest. You either love him or hate him. He's always been like this. This has no correlation with mental illnesses, especially autism. Neither of us are professionals, so it's quite bold to claim the man has a mental illness. Him talking about Britney Spears and Taylor Swift doesn't make him ill, wyd?

He may have a point but Britney had lost middle America long before that
