Rapper Kanye West comes off as sore loser at MTV Europe Music Awards

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Rap star Kanye West was named Best Hip Hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

West apparently was so disappointed at not winning for Best Video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends." In a tirade riddled with expletives, West said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons.

"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," West said.

The rapper grabbed the Best Hip Hop award earlier in the night in a star-studded event hosted by Justin Timberlake in the Danish capital.

So here's a guy that became 'bigger' than himself when he made his statement "George Bush hates black people" after the Katrina disaster. People gave him some sort of credibility, some props for being courageous for having stated that, people readily believed it and it helped push the Bush admin into a decline it has never gotten out of.

Now he does this, although not the first singer or actor to whine but certainly I would think this will hurt his credibility and devalue his earlier Bush statements.
Do you agree?
