Kanye did not want to do what he did.He was obligated under the code when charged by Jay-Z to do it.Jay-Z is of much higher degree then Kanye.This act was not for money I feel it was more of a punishment for Kanye.What a harsh punishment.Well,if I were Kanye that would be my option also.Either what he did or a tragic accident of some sort to happen on his life were he’s killed and no one is ever found at fault because they were killed also in the accident and take full responsibility for what happened.Entertainers do fly on alot of personal aircrafts.Caught in a game and locked under a code no escaping from.Choices we make fa the road to riches and diamond rings.
KANYE IS THE TRUTH!!!!!!! BEYONCE SHOULD HAVE WON THAT AWARD!!!! FOR REAL THOUGH HE DIDN’T KNOW THE GIRL WAS GOING TO CRY. WHO KNEW THAT SHE KNEW SHE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT AWARD TOO.
