Everybody talks about the Taylor Swift/Kanye VMA's in '09 but I remember '07 in Vegas when 'Ye' asked for a complete redesign of the suite his performance was to be filmed in at the 11 hour costing prod a fortune but they indulged only to have him throw a tantrum backstage...
because be didn't win any of the 5 awards he was up for and now we were all racists. That was 2 years before he made a fool of himself at NYC VMA's, & 5 years before he insisted on being a part of 12/12 Sandy Benefit at MSG but then refused to sign SAG/AFTRA paperwork. I was..
coordinator in charge of releases and chased him all night, it was a charity event and the releases were signed by everyone, but not Kanye. He ran around backstage and acted like the insecure, give me a participation trophy, mediocre talent, PAB he has always been. @kanyewest
P.S, much of the 'genius' of Kanye was created by engineers & producers working beneath Kanye, who remained uncredited so he could take spotlight & industry played along with the hype. A marginal talent who had the winds of decent PR filling his sails...for awhile at least.
