When Kanye West Took a Jibe at Beyonce And Taylor Swift in a Tribute to Himself at MTV Video Music Awards 2016

The world is now familiar with Kanye West being in controversy almost every day.

huge record of getting into controversies. And Ye does not care how huge a name
he is speaking about or against; he just goes with the flow.

Remember in 2016, when he mentioned two well-known and well-liked celebrities:
Beyonce and Taylor Swift?


THE ONE WHERE KANYE WEST GAVE A TRIBUTE TO HIMSELF…

In 2016, MTV held the Music Awards at Madison Square Garden. The highlight of
the event was none other than Famous [https://youtu.be/Lq2TmRzg19k] singer Kanye
West. He made headlines not for winning any awards, but for his motivational
speech in which he paid tribute to himself.



It seems like something that you can do. In 2016, the producers of the award
show allowed Kanye to do whatever he wanted on the stage. It was before he
premiered his new music video, Fade. As producers allowed him to do literally
anything, all Kanye did was pay a tribute to himself.

And not just any tribute, but one full of sarcasm and insults in a metaphoric
manner. He sarcastically wished Beyonce

well while pointing to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards stage-crash incident. Ye
was referring to the incident where he allegedly went up to the stage when
Taylor Swift

won the award.

Not only did he interrupt her moment of glory, but he also said that even though
she won the award, Beyonce’s music video was also the best. Swift, who was just
19 years old back then, was shattered by this. And this incident is still
counted as one of the most bizarre and awkward stage moments in the history of
award shows.

And he did not stop there. He kept on praising himself for his latest music
video and bashed his ex Amber Rose by saying
[https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-ms-mtv-vma-live-updates-kanye-west-pays-tribute-to-himself-at-1472437015-htmlstory.html],
“I see you, Amber. My wife is a [gangsta], not a lot of people’s wives would let
them say that.”

And that is how Ye paid tribute to himself. Let’s see what he talks about at the
next MTV Video Music Awards.
