Kanye West received massive criticisms after he revealed the reason behind the infamous VMA acceptance speech of Taylor Swift.
The "Famous Lights" hitmaker recently spoke about the incident where he crashed the stage of the 2009 MTV VMAs during Swift's acceptance speech award. The then-19-year-old artist won the Best Female Video for her hit track "You Belong With Me."
West ran on stage and declared that Beyonce should have won the award instead.

Kanye West Claimed "God" Wants Him To Hijack Taylor Swift's Speech
In his recent interview with the "Cannon's Class" podcast of Nick Cannon, the 43-year-old music icon claimed that "God" inspired him to interrupt Swift's speech.
"Right now, God is giving me the information ... If God ain't want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn't have sat me in the front row." West shared
In addition the Yeezy creator even mentioned that he "never heard" of the pop icon before and pointed out why Queen Bey deserved the recognition.
"I would've been sitting in the back. It wouldn't have made it so ridiculous of an idea because I had never heard of this person before, and Single Ladies is, like, one of the greatest videos of all time. And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn't want to go to the awards show because it was a set-up."

"Now that God has called me, and I now have given my life to Jesus Christ, and I work for God. Now we have Christian innovation in our time," West said.
Furthermore, he also claimed that God sent his $68 million tax refund.
