Kanye West was named best hip-hop artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards, but at last became a loser. Do you want to know the details, then just follow this...
November 5, 2006 (Press Release) --
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Chicago rapper Kanye West was named best hip-hop artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards but still came off as a sore loser.
West crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the best video award was being presented to Justice and Simian for ''We Are Your Friends.''
In a tirade riddled with expletives, West 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,'' West said.
The rapper grabbed the best hip-hop award earlier in the night in a star-studded event hosted by Justin Timberlake in the Danish capital.
West has a particular affinity for the ''Touch the Sky'' video. In an interview with the Associated Press in August, he expressed his displeasure that the clip, an elaborate Evel Knievel spoof, didn't get nominated for an MTV video music award.
''It didn't get any nominations, but it's one of the most memorable videos of the year for me,'' he said then.
It's also not the first time he's had an awards-show meltdown. At the 2004 American Music Awards, West bitterly complained backstage that he was robbed when he didn't win a trophy.
Elsewhere at the MTV awards, Timberlake won the best pop and best male awards while the Red Hot Chili Peppers won best album. Christina Aguilera was named best female artist at the annual awards show broadcast live in 17 countries.
MTV's European awards are held in a different city every year. The winners are selected by fans across Europe.
