After nearly interrupting Beck’s acceptance speech on
stage, West went off on a rant, declaring, “Beck needs to respect artistry and
he should have given his award to Beyoncé.”
At the airport, a cameraman asked, “Kanye, when you said
Beck needs to respect artistry, are you implying he’s not an artist?” West then
clarified his comments.
“No, I wasn’t saying Beck, I was saying the Grammys!”
said West. “Beck knows that Beyonce should have won.” When another paparazzo
asked, “Had you ever heard of Beck before yesterday?” West replied, “Come on,
man, I love Beck. But he ain’t have Album of the Year.”
Beck, for his part, took a conciliatory and humble tone
when reporters asked him . “Absolutely I thought she was going to win. Come on,
she’s Beyonce!” said Beck. As for West’s apparent diss, he said, “You can’t
please everybody, man. I still love him and think he’s genius. I aspire to do
what he does.”
