Shirley Manson Slams Kanye's Grammy Interruption: 'Grow Up and Stop Throwing Your Toys Around'
Album of the year winner Beck may have been "excited" that Kanye West briefly stormed the stage at Sunday's Grammys, but Shirley Manson is ranting mad.
The Garbage singer, 48, took to Facebook to blast West, 37, for the stunt, which was reminiscent of the time he famously interrupted Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs to claim Beyoncé should have won the best female video Moonman.
She accused him of "rudely and savagely" attack Beck, saying, "You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt ... Grow up and stop throwing your toys around. You are making yourself look like a complete t---."
She added, "Ps.I am pretty certain Beyoncé doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own."
Though everyone from West's wife Kim Kardashian to buddy Jay Z, award presenter Prince and even Beyoncé herself visibly laughed when West "pulled a Kanye" on Sunday, Manson was not amused.
After West made comments on a Grammys aftershow that "Beck needs to respect artistry" by handing over his the stauette, Manson shot back, "Dear Kanye West, It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry."
and Paul Stanley...
Paul Stanley Says Beck Should Have Kicked Kanye West ‘Right in the Nuts’
Kanye West is apparently lucky he interrupted alternative hero Beck instead of Kiss star Paul Stanley last night at the Grammys.
“Beck should’ve kicked Kanye right in the nuts and said, ‘Get the f— of MY stage!,’” Stanley declared on Facebook. West — who famously interrupted Taylor Swift’s win at the 2009 VMAs to declare that Beyonce was more deserving of an award — pulled a similar stunt during Beck’s Album of the Year acceptance speech last night. Although it seemed like a lighthearted joke or self-parody at the time, with West offering a sly smile and not actually speaking, later on he made it clear he had problems with Beck winning the award over Beyonce:
I don’t even know what [Beck] said. I just know that, the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. … And Beck needs to respect artistry, he should have given his award to Beyoncé. At this point, we tired of it. What happens is, when you keep on diminishing art, and not respecting the craft, and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration. We, as musicians, have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyoncé album, and they feel like it takes them to a different place. … I am here to fight for creativity. That’s why I didn’t say anything tonight, but you all knew what it meant when ‘Ye stepped on that stage.
For his part, Beck seems to be taking the whole thing in stride, saying “I was just so excited he [West] was coming up. He deserves to be onstage as much as anybody … How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?”
