Claiming how Queen Bey allegedly made sure she won Video of the Year over him and Drake, West left his audience shocked with his remarks. Further, he also complained that the Carters didn’t bother to check on him after Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris.
Beyoncé, I was hurt because I wanted to present a video called ‘Fade’ and I don’t expect MTV to help me. Mr. West, I don’t respect you. I will let you know that Beyoncé is winning the video tonight for ‘Formation’ over ‘Hotline Bling’ and ‘Famous’.
Beyoncé, I was hurt because I heard that you said you wouldn’t perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over ‘Hotline Bling.’
While on stage, Kanye West suggested thatBeyoncérefused to perform at the VMAs unless she won the award. This accusation quite naturally sent shockwaves through the music world and the internet.

Meanwhile, although the veracity of West’s comments was never known, the billionaire’s interview withFaderrevealed how he was struggling to let go of the fact that West dragged his family into the dirt.
The whole point is, ‘You got hurt because this person was talking about you on a stage.’ But what really hurt me was, you can’t bring my kids and my wife into it. Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me 100 times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger issues.
But you brought my family into it. Now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem.
Later on, when things cooled down a bit,Jay-Zfurther noted that while he was not happy with Kanye West’s remarks, he believed that the rapper was aware of his mistake.
