Kelly Clarkson Rips Kanye West A New One

kelly-clarkson-kanye-west

Kelly Clarkson may be low key and chill most of the time, but she can rip you a new one if she wants to – which is just what the singer has done to hip-hop drama king Kanye West. After last night’s Kanye-Taylor Swift fiasco, Kelly took to her blog to take the guy to task for ruining Tay’s big moment. Check out her rant below, and tune in to VH1 Divas this Thursday, September 17th at 9PM EST to see her awesome sass in action. [Photos: GettyImages]

Says Kelly:

Dear Kanye,

What happened to you as a child?? Did you not get hugged enough?? Something must have happened to make you this way and I think we’re all just curious as to what would make a grown man go on national television and make a talented artist, let alone teenager, feel like shit. I mean, I’ve seen you do some pretty shitty things, but you just keep amazing me with your tactless, asshole ways. It’s absolutely fascinating how much I don’t like you. I like everyone. I even like my asshole ex that cheated on me over you…which is pretty odd since I don’t even personally know you. The best part of this evening is that you weren’t even up for THIS award and yet you still have a problem with the outcome. Is winning a moon man that much of a life goal?? You can have mine if it will shut you up. Is it that important, really??

I was actually nominated in the same category that Taylor won and I was excited for her…so why can’t you be?? I’m not even mad at you for being an asshole…I just pity you because you’re a sad human being.

On a side note, Beyonce has always been a class act and proved again tonight that she still is. Go TEXAS!!

Taylor Swift, you outsell him ….that’s why he’s bitter. You know I love your work! Keep it up girl!

    LOVE Kelly Clarkson!!! You say it baby!!! GO kick his pathetic &&`(*!)*+(^!!_%

  • Kristen says:

    Alex, Kanye is certainly entitled to his opinion that Beyonce should have won the award; you are also allowed to hold that same opinion. That isn’t the point here. A 32 year old man should know better than to storm the stage and ruin a 19 year old’s moment. Taylor Swift won the award whether you agree with it or not, and the least you can do is be as classy as Beyonce about that fact. And yes, Taylor Swift does outsell Kanye. By quite a bit in fact.

    i was like totally upset when i seen that “)#$*%*~#+$#!%% that kanye west pulled..that was very disrespectful and from seeing that.. i guess i might as well say that he is bipolar..since his mother has passed he has been saying some very mediocre “)#$*%*~#+$#!%% towards people and that is very unacceptable.. u should never do that to anyone.. he wouldn’t want anyone doing that “)#$*%*~#+$#!%% to him.. kanye u are a pure )&`^$)`^)!(!~^! hole…u are not better than the next person…so stop acting like it and u see beyonce is a very humble, and sweet person.. she let taylor swift have her moment…would u have treated your mother like that kanye nor anyone u knew who were famous? no u wouldn’t they probably would shut your )&`^$)`^)!(!~^! down.. think before doing “)#$*%*~#+$#!%% u lost all respect from me kanye…

  • "Me" says:

    WOW… I love this statement…. I just couldn’t believe this man thinks that much of himself to have the nerve to pull some )_)^*~!*@$_~`^^+ like that…It would’ve been nice to see someone to publicly ask him to leave, and “blacklist” his overzealous a** from future events…(until further notice…LOL) I’ve never been crazy about him in the first place, I mean come on, his arrogance is more memorable than anything he’s created as an artist… He just proved himself to be a very shallow minded person with no true stance as an individual. He walked out there with no class, displaying no representation of a “a man”, “a gentleman”, or “a fellow artist”…he pulled a “straight _*%`!$%~)#)*%~&% move”. What’s up with his mental composer to even feel so inclined to think that was appropriate or justified. WHO IS HE REALLY? I know within his own twisted sense of self he places himself right up there with, “GOD”… (this coming from a “person” with no acquired skills in the area of “being a gentleman”…) He’s completely living in a state of delusion; believing himself to be some sort of authority, lacking common decency and mutual respect, and feeding off his own ego… (get a grip there west-e). AND PLEASE…with those tired a** apologizes… they’re as weak as his lyrics, meaningless and holding no true value. There’s nothing he can say at this point that’s even gonna justify his blatant disregard for ALL that was involved… What makes it okay in his mind to embarrass the highlighted artist by not only taking the spotlight but making her feel inadequate within a moment that belonged to TAYLOR…standing there mocking her work like it wasn’t a justified accomplishment, embarrassing her family, friends, and just calling out uninvolved artist caught off guard by such thoughtless antics… WTF….and he had the nerve to say, “What did I say?” Are you serious…. something just isn’t right with “that dude”….I’ll put it to you this way… “IF HE’S NOT ON DRUGS…. HE DAMN SURE NEEDS TO BE…” Love to Taylor…

  • brittany says:

    that was so rude what kanye west did to taylor swift. Who cares if beyonce is good or better then taylor swift he should of kept it to him self. It so soooo rude. I am glad that beyonce let taylor come back out and say what she wanted to say. Ya we all know that talyor swift sings counrty. She is good at singing and kanye needs to stop what he is doing. Well beyonce may be a good singer but she is not the best singer in the world. There can be more then just 1. I am glad that kelly clarkson said something like this. I agree to every thing that she said to him in the letter. I think that he is acting like this sence his mom died. Well he needs to say sorry to her if he did not yet. It was pretty funny that after he said it he ran out of the building and left. WOW i dont think that i care for him as much as i did for a singer. I cant belive what he did.
    wow he needs to grow up and not drink before he goes to things like these.
    well oh well it is over and we all need to move on.
    :(

  • ashley says:

    Kelly, I have to say what a show you wee awesome, try not to think about what kanye did because he made his self look bad and i liked you both as singers but wat he did was uncalled for and i hope that the vma’ s did fine him for that because that was your shining moment. to be someone who got a award and to win a ward over beyonce should of been a great night. THANKS B for standing up for what was right!

  • Vikingsftpaw says:

    Keyyy better watch her own back. Kanye is gonna busta a cap on her!

  • snovia says:

    *Sigh* very disappointed in Kanye because i am a huge fan of his, he shouldnt have acted like that. Poor Taylor i wouldve cried!

    His @ss better not show up at Patrick Swayzes funeral saying Michael had a better death this year!

    COME ONE KANYE.GROW UP!

  • Tammie says:

    Great job Kelly! You are saying exacting what others are thinking. Good for you, Beyonce & Taylor for being the class act that you are….Kanye….grow up!

  • stephanee says:

    I personally agree with Kelly Clarkson he grew up better then most black people in the world & yet he is very bitter & upset for no apparent reason. Where it is arrogence or a SUPER ego he needs 2 sit down with Dr. Phil & figure ou why he thinks this world owes him something . He is talented but over the years i stopped listening & supporting because every year he gets more & more crazy he could be depressed or bipolar but whatever it is somebody needs 2 sit down and figure it out!!!!! Like Kelly GO TEXAS TECH however!!!!!

  • Debrico says:

    Well done Kelly. Kanye had no right to steal Taylor’s time to shine. And I also learned that he might have been drunk as well. If that is true, this should not only teach him a lesson, but be a warning to teens all over the world. Don’t drink and think before you act. Nice blog by the way Kelly, and can’t wait to see Divas.

  • That was the best letter ive ever seen. I couldn’t have wrote it better.. That is funny…. and true…. very very true.

  • Nycole says:

    YES!!!! Kanye is the EPITOME of $(`(`^~!#~++((` HOLENESS!!!!!

  • Rock says:

    Ooooh and Kelly’s so lame, We understand he interupted her shine……leave it at that. HE APOLOGIZED…..That has nothing to do with you. Where do you get off feeling comfortable calling someone an )*)+`+!`%)%@$&% hole, or for most cases out of his name, now that was tasteless. Reality check …what is that you want from Kanye. Is there something that you. Personally that issue had nothing to do with you or any other one of those racist chumps pals of yours that buy your music. So shut the F up and mind yours, until its your time to be confronted by a Kanye or maybe some other prominant silly HipHop artist. Then you can make a diss record broad…..lol. You live the life first then you can talk trash about some one, until enjoy it while you have it. Some fortunate some not, he is the bigger person for saying sorry. Left it up to someone like me from the hood and still in it, I would of told you to suck on it and choke on it. enjoy….toodles aint that what yall stuck up white girls say…lol

  • Rock says:

    The broad is not on the toon disney channel getting the award people live and get over it. She suck +@`_!*&$)#))*!(% and get ~_+!@$*#&!_~%@`% ed in the _&`_)(!#!$!+@@! like the rest of yall. she legal so get over it she no baby

  • HyperDog says:

    Kelly Clarkston had to use somebody elses photo on an album/magazine cover, she is ugly as he.ll Now shut up you lousy witch

  • Stacy Tompson says:

    OK but how is kelly going to be mad that kanye west said that. but i bet she didnt have a problem when he said wat he said to bush on that late night show. She cant even talk about nobody hell she cant even keep her weight under control and her voice is starting to sound bad! How yu going to say that about beyonce. She didn have nothing to do wit it. She was just sitting in her set looking as shocked as everybody else. If i was there i know i would have laugh to but mine would have been out loud. Like he said beyonce had the best video of the year cause how is taylor swift any way. Now take that comment and run wit it Mrs. Clarkson!

  • lisa says:

    who the hell is taylor swift before this I never even heard of her.

  • IWould NeverCheatOnHer says:

    What kind of %_$)_@(#_`$%#$~ hole would cheat on Kelly Clarkson? What is this world coming to?

  • Marquisha White says:

    I totally agree on what Kelly Clarkson said,,,I really believe that Kanye was being a total #“`~&^#(&##!~$ I have always loved Kanye West’s music from the beginning because he told the truth and made us see things in another perspective, but what he did on September 14th showed that he was a complete hippercrite. That will always and forever change the way I feel about him and his music. It didn’t matter if he was intoxicated or not a grown #“`~&^#(&##!~$ man should be able to control himself. Don’t get mad that a teenage girl is becoming more appealing to the older and younger crowd than you are. Not to be disrespectful or anything, but I hope someone whoops Kanye’s #“`~&^#(&##!~$ one day to make him feel one shrivle of the pain and embarassment that Taylor Swift felt that day. Kelly keep writing music and do yo thang…Taylor, pay no attention to the haters cuz thats exactly what he is.

  • ladydoll says:

    To you and every one else STOP THE MADDNESS KANYE DID NOT COMMITT A MURDER. HE JUST MADE THIS PERSON THAT WASNT SO POPULAR , POPULAR. I DIDNT EVEN NO WHO TAYLOR WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS EVERY ONE NO. SO LEAVE IT ALONG PEOPLE .

  • I was absolutely in shock and stunned when Kanye West took the stage and humiliated Taylor Swift! What was he thinking and did he REALLY think Beyonce would be happy or impressed by his little tirade when he said she had the best video? His actions left her, the audience, and the millions watching it on t.v. embarassed! Continue on this path you’ve set for yourself Kanye. You will self-destruct yourself and your career! And I’m so sick and tired of celebritees using poor excuses for their actions like “I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK” i.e. Kanye, and then making FAKE apologies just so they cover their butts & try to salvage their careers. The public is NOTstupid although alot of celebrities seem to think we are! STOP with the fake apologies & “CHECKING INTO REHAB BECAUSE I REALLY SHOULD BE HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS BUT INSTEAD I’LL HIDE OUT A FEW WEEKS AND THINGS WILL BLOW OVER’!! The public will see I tried to get “HELP’, I will go on talk shows or the radio to apologize again [[and I still don't give a darn so lets fake it again and maybe even squeeze out a few crocodile tears for the overall effect to look even more sincere]]. Remember this…….YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW——SO TEND YOUR GARDEN WELL!!

  • kristina says:

    Everything that kelly is is the truth! I loved what she said!! Go Kelly

  • Jazzy Tizzle says:

    I mean there is really no excuse ever to explain those actions. Kids who seek attention and people with mental and nervous disorders bust out and act that way. Maybe we need to get the paparazzi to follow this dude and see who his shrink is so that we can get some insight. If he thinks for one second that his sells will be BOOSTED by that, he is mistaken. They should not crash either over this incident. Keeping it real…we are all human…but I just feel that when you are in a particular position or limelight, you should act, move and speak carefully. The media loves the drama and will never let it down. Beyonce is the HBIC but Kanye needs to let Taylor basque in her success….Kanye, Kanye, Kanye…we are in a new day…We have a black president…Obama said it great…it is time for change. You need to get with the program and contribute to erasin all this hate and discrimination instead of adding on. We are all people who breath oxygen and need food and water to survive. Go listen to Micheal Jackson’s Man in the Mirror immediately…. Kelly Clarkson…I love you too girl and I am black….ghetto too some might say so race is never an issue. If you are a good artist, then that is that. Kanye…grow up.

  • Jazzy Tizzle says:

    The point that Taylor outsells Kanye is meaningless. I mean is ths dude making country music? And even so…did any of their awards fall under the same catergory? NO! And even if all applied, what he did was still unspeakably foolish and I hope that he learned something about himself that night…alcohol and emotions dont mix…So childish like…that is why bars and clubs around my town are raising the age requirements for admission because of foolish behavior like that. Just lucky no one was hurt. Taylor looked so confused…surprised she did not cry…go head big girl…you won and it was not by chance!

  • Michele says:

    Yayyyy Kelly!!!!!!!!!!! Say it girl :)

  • Shebrea says:

    First of all kanye has already apologized for his actions it’s funny how people act like they have never did. Anything wrong in their entire lives taylor swift accepted his apology why can’t that just be it. People always seem to keep running stuff in the ground and kelly why would you even bring up the whole childhood situation. First of all this whole incident has nothing to do with you you are one of the ones that just keep burning this fire. I thought you had class i guess not kanye has been going through a lot he lost his mom and the truth is. People tend to act out when they are going through something but what is your excuse. Kanye keep outselling them keep doing your thing.

  • Luwannica says:

    What Kelly Clarkson said was uncalled for it is obvious that Kanye was extermely loved by his mom, You know he just lost his mother. That could easily explain his antics true case of lashing out and Ms. clarkson U are not that great of an artist so calm down.

  • Luwannica says:

    Who cares who out sell who.. Who do u out sell?

  • Luwannica says:

    All of the people never did a wrong thing in their life, I guess they are not human what a bunch of losers. Kanye There are some of us that loves u.

  • warndem says:

    What a wonderful opportunity Kanye West presented for you -all of you with your problems that are so neatly disguised- to dump on him. I don’t really like Kanye West that much, because I believe that the establishment has made and empowered him over rappers such as 50 cent. They saw him as a nice, clean cut guy, who is less threatening, but West is a bit of an egomaniac, but I would sooner share space with him in this world than some of you tired racists and haters, who just salivated at this moment. Kelly Clarkson, I think that you are overrated, and if you had any ideas about this world that you live in, you would know how easy it is for Swift to outsell West. I watched you and can tolerate your music, but I didn’t know that you had it in you to be like this. Your comments put you on par, or probably ahead of West in offensiveness. It is just a pity that I can’t see your heart, and know the truth behind your comments. Good luck on the fight with your weight, and I hope that you don’t have anymore problems that are weighing you down.

  • yohan says:

    im sorry i think what kelly said was no better then what kanye did she didnt have to say he is a sad humen being what he did was not that bad he didnt kill her or attack her or call her a a bad word so we all need to stop and move on it was supriising at first but now when i look at it its not as badf as i thought before and for the ones that are talking about his died mom really needs to stop no matter what ppl did you should not bring up his died MOM so please stop that so i think kelly was a little too mean in this letter it was not called for

  • caliwmn760 says:

    I’ll still buy Kanye’s albums regardless of his bad behavior. it’s not like he killed anyone or is getting high. taylor swift is boring and looks like a mouse, but to each their own. PINK probably should’ve won the award anyway.

  • Lisa says:

    Kelly is incomparable.
    I love you kelly.

  • Dj C-Stylez says:

    I think all this celebrity drama is an act. Who cares wht Kanye did, because if it was that serious, security would have made him leave the stage. That’s what would happen if a nobody did that.
