Hours after the very
embarrassing moment when Kanye West rudely interrupted Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs, celebrities were already on Twitter, expressing
their disapproval of such an inconsiderate action. Donald Trump and Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson’s father, are also joining the public outcry now, issuing statements calling for boycott,
TMZ says.
Trump, or The Donald as they call him in the media, is the most drastic of the two, saying fans and the music industry in general should turn their back on the rapper and not support anything he might do in the future. The real-estate mogul calls for an immediate boycott of the rapper in order to prevent anything like this from happening again. So far, The Donald has gotten no answer from the Kanye West fans.
“Trump tells TMZ he wants to boycott all things Kanye ‘so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.’ Trump also thinks Kanye’s hijack to honor Beyonce was B.S. – ‘He couldn’t care less about Beyonce. It was grandstanding to get attention.’” TMZ writes after speaking to Donald Trump, who labeled Kanye’s antics at the Video Music Awards as downright “disgusting.”
Joe Jackson too thinks Kanye’s action should not go unpunished. “I don’t know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl’s hand. They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad. I had just gotten through speaking to him, he was introducing me to his girlfriend, and then three minutes later he jumped up on stage. And people booed Kanye all night.” Michael’s father says for the same publication.
As it happens, since the incident occurred at the award ceremony, Kanye West has apologized: twice on his official webpage and once
on Jay Leno, in an impromptu interview that took place before performing “We Run This Town” with Jay-Z and Rihanna. Taylor Swift too has spoken to the media ever since, saying she
doesn’t hold a grudge against the often-inconsiderate rapper.
