Kanye West Bashes Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake At Concert; Dislikes ‘Suit & Tie’ But Claims “I Got Love For Hov” [VIDEO]

Kanye ranted about Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake during his performance at the Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday, Feb. 23.

Kanye West then went further than bashing Taylor Swift, criticizing rappers who sell out to corporations and go on to make millions.

West took a shot at Taylor Swift, telling the crowd that he's upset that Swift keeps winning awards over the world's biggest pop star and this year's Super Bowl Halftime Show performer, Beyoncé.

"Taylor Swift beat Beyoncé at the Grammys? Beyoncé be dancing in heels and s-t," West yelled.

Kanye West was referring to the Grammy Award given to Taylor Swift in 2009 that he felt should have been given to Beyoncé.

Just as Swift was getting ready to start her acceptance speech during the 2009 awards, West snatched the mic. He addressed the Grammys audience about the amazing performances produced by Beyoncé, and how when a black performer gets snubbed, it discourages little girls who dream to grow up to be like Beyoncé.

About Justin Timberlake, West said, "I got love for [Jay-Z], but I ain't f---in' with that 'Suit & Tie'." West was referring to Timberlake's last hit single that features Jay-Z on the track.

Kanye West later on criticized the idea of signing million-dollar deals with corporations, saying, "Please, corporations, can you support me Please? Me, Kanye West? I swear I'm a nice n---a now. I swear I'll put the pink polo back on. I swear to you. Please? Just for three million dollars. I need it so bad. I need a new pool in my backyard. So I'll tell all my fans your [stuff] is cool. And if they believe in me they should also believe in you...Did we get the check yet? Did the corporation send the check yet?"

No one is sure about what provoked his rant at the concert.
