Kanye West Has Tantrum After Losing 'Best Video' Award At EMAs

Hip-hop star Kanye West stormed on stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) last night when he missed out on "Best Video" to Justice Vs Simian. The rapper was nominated in three categories - "Best Male," "Best Video" for "Touch The Sky" and "Best Hip-Hop" - at the Copenhagen, Denmark, award show, but only took home the latter.
On the red carpet prior to the award, West told MTV, "I should definitely win best hip-hop. I should definitely win that (best video) also."
However, when French DJ Justice went on stage to accept the "Best Video" trophy for "We Are Your Friends," a furious West joined him. West shouted, "F**k this! My video cost a million dollars. Pamela Anderson was in it, I was jumping across canyons and shit! If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility. Nothing against you (Justice Vs Simian), but hell man."
At the press conference afterwards, West was still angry over the award, saying, "I haven't seen (the Justice and Simian video). Possibly it could have been quite good, but no way better than 'Touch The Sky.' That is complete bullshit, I paid a million. Obviously it's not all about the money, but the response it got transcended everything, it really made great TV. It took a month to film; I stood on a mountain; I flew a helicopter over Vegas. I did it to be the king of all videos and I wanted to walk home with that award. (The reason the other video won) - That was some spread the love bullshit, 'Oh everyone should have an award.' Please press people print, 'Kanye says f**k that!'"
This is the second time West has vented his fury over losing an award - in 2004 he lost out on the Best New Artist gong at the American Music Awards (AMAs) to country singer Gretchen Wilson. The hitmaker said at the time, "I feel I was definitely robbed. I was the best new artist this year."
