Kanye West claims that ‘God’ inspired him to interrupt Taylor Swift at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards

Published

West in an interview released Tuesday claimed his actions – which sparked a lengthy feud between himself and 30-year-old Taylor – were the result of a higher power ‘giving [him] the information’.

He said: ‘Right now, God is giving me the information … If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row. I would’ve been sitting in the back. It wouldn’t have made it so ridiculous of an idea because I had never heard of this person before, and Single Ladies is, like, one of the greatest videos of all time. And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn’t want to go to the awards show because it was a set-up.’

Although the rapper said it was God who influenced his decisions in 2009, he claims he didn’t start to ‘read the Bible’ until after his hospitalization in 2016 for psychiatric observation and treatment of temporary psychosis.

West added: ‘God brought me to my knees multiple times. The first time that I was put into the hospital in 2016, I actually started reading the bible. That was part of what God hit me with. You know, God has a calling on all of us and he uses us in different ways.’

Music video: The 43-year-old rapper infamously ran on stage at the music awards ceremony over a decade ago whilst Taylor - who was just 19 at the time - was accepting the award for Best Female Video for her song You Belong With Me because he favored Beyoncé's video

West also insisted that he doesn’t want his newfound connection to God to appear ‘uncool’ with his fans.

Speaking to Nick Cannon, 39, for an episode of his ‘Cannon’s Class’ podcast, the ‘Bound 2’ hitmaker – who plans to run for President of the United States in this year’s election – said: ‘I’m not gonna lie to you, I like being cool. I didn’t go into an environment to come off uncool.’

West has sued the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office after being told his bid to get on the ballot for president came up short on qualified signatures.

Secretary of State Mac Warner’s office told news outlets last month that West needed 7,144 signatures from registered voters in West Virginia. West submitted 15,000 signatures, but only 6,383 were confirmed, according to Secretary of State spokesperson Mike Queen.

The lawsuit said that West did not have a chance to challenge that decision before a drawing for order of names appearing on the ballot, WSAZ-TV reported Monday. The lawsuit requests an emergency hearing date and a ruling that would allow his name to be listed.

West announced a presidential bid in July, saying he’s seeking the nation’s highest office on a ticket he calls the Birthday Party.

In a recent chat with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Iyanya stated that many of his colleagues are depressed, but are pretending to be happy and fulfilled online.

 

Prior to this, Iyanya had earlier opened up about his difficulties in a series of Twitter posts.

The ‘Kukere’ crooner recounted his struggles to land shows in December 2021, and how he even had to beg to perform at shows just to get visibility.

In recounting his struggles and return to the spotlight in the chat with Chude, the singer stated that his tweets inspired many people.

“It is the reality of the game, you know. When you are out for a while coming back is even harder. Most people don’t even come back. When you come back like that you have to let people know that sharing our stories inspires so many people.

“So many people reached out to me to say ‘thank you for that tweet you made. You’ve inspired me,” he said.

Iyanya further expressed how difficult it is for most Nigerian musicians, and how they create a facade to hide their struggles.

“A lot [of musicians are depressed]. A whole lot. The people who you see out there making you feel like things is good, they are the ones going through worst things. So, they try to make you feel like they are right. People are going through a lot. So, you have to be vulnerable with your experiences,” he added.
