At MTV
Winning the Best Hip Hop artist award wasn't enough for Rap star Kanye West, as he showed himself to be a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Kanye was so disappointed at not winning for Best Video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for "We Are Your Friends."
In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video "Touch The Sky," because it "cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons."
"If I don't win, the awards show loses credibility," Kanye said.
The 1970s-style video portrays West as a daredevil named Evil Kanyevel about to attempt a crazy stunt, with Anderson playing West's girlfriend.
