Kanye West claims 'God' wanted him to interrupt Taylor Swift's 2009 VMAs speech

Kanye West recently revealed the real reason why he decided to storm Taylor Swift’s speech in 2009 VMAs. In Cannon’s Class podcast, Kanye West told Nick Cannon that "God" was the one who wanted him to do it. He also described how all odds were in his favour to stop Taylor. 

Kanye West said that right now God is giving him information. He added that God would have not made him sit in the front row if he didn't want him to say that Beyonce has the best video. In 2009 VMAs, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's speech after she received the Best Female Video award for her music video, You Belong With Me. He went on the stage to say that Beyoncé should be the one to receive this award.

Talking about Taylor Swift, Kanye said that the jury wouldn't have made it the first award. He added that it's so ridiculous of an idea because he had never heard of this person [Taylor] before, and Single Ladies is like one of the greatest videos of all time. Recalling about the awards night, Kanye West mentioned that he was drinking Hennessy.  He added that this is because he didn’t want to go to the award show since it was a set-up.
