Kanye West's Grammys Stunt Slammed By Garbage’s Shirley Manson, Singer Tells Him To 'Grow Up'

Shirley Manson, lead singer of alternative rock band Garbage, slammed Kanye West for ridiculing Beck for winning the Grammy for album of the year on Sunday. The artist hit back at Kanye, who interrupted Beck’s speech by running onto the stage to defend his friend Beyoncé, who was a nominee in the same category.

Here is the post on Manson’s Facebook page:

On Monday, Kanye, who arrived in New York City with wife Kim and daughter North West, defended his actions by saying that he was not disrespecting Beck when he jumped on the stage, TMZ reported.

Kanye looked like he was going to say something but later turned back and jumped off the stage. The attempt was initially seen as a joke, but that perception changed when he later commented after the show: "I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists, to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more.... And Beck needs to respect artistry, and he should've given his award to Beyoncé."

Despite his comments, Beck said that he thought Kanye was a “genius” and “I aspire to do what he does.”

In 2009, Kanye stole the microphone from Taylor Swift during the MTV Music Awards and said, “Yo, Taylor. I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”
