There are certain moments in pop culture that stick it out despite the rigmarole of evolution, and one such masterpiece is Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, taking on the stage to snub Taylor Swift and declare that Beyoncé deserved the Best Female Video at the VMAs 2009. Despite the careers of the parties involved, having undergone drastic changes since then, this moment, 'iconic' as it has been termed, remains the foundation string that fans always come to revisit.

As the 'Single Ladies' singer celebrated her 43rd birthday this September, fans honored her for the powerhouse, she is by listing down their favorite Beyoncé moment, Ye, much like that one award show night in 2009, stole the spotlight. Fans highlighted the courage that went behind the rapper standing up for Beyoncé. However, there was another reason behind the moment, which was their favorite Beyoncé moment.

In 2009, as Ye stormed up to stage to rain on Taylor Swift's parade, the Moonman in question was for the Best Female Video category. While the rapper wanted only the best for Queen B, it became very obvious as the night went by that the reason why she did not win in the Best Female Video category was because she was the winner of the Video of the Year.

Regardless of how things unfolded and how many years have passed by since this unforgettable moment, fans got down to discussing the impact Ye's statements had and whether it was needed or not.

Ye's allure, especially now, with his albums not having the same resounding impact that the 'Graduation' trilogy did and barely making it to the top of the charts curtsy of Taylor Swift, is carried on the back of his old hilarious candid confessions. From saying what he said about George W. Bush on screen with a straight face to later, even hilariously mock reenacting his 2009 drama with Swift, it is these moments that have become his legacy.

Fans celebrated Ye's decision to standup for the artist that he believed in and even went onto shoot some shots on Jay Z, declaring that even Beyoncé's husband could not have pulled that off.

Some did argue that it was simply hasty of him to snub Taylor Swift and declare that  Beyoncé deserved the award when the biggest award of the night for Music Videos had not been announced. Regardless, whether it is the timelessness of the moment or the artists involved, both parties remain iconic.
