Singer shocks viewers with “disrespectful” prank at Grammys

Kanye West was up to his old tricks last night, storming the stage uninvited, much to the shock of viewers.

The rapper infamously interrupted Taylor Swift back in 2009 as she accepted her award for Best Female Video, telling her and the audience, "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

Taylor had won the award for her You Belong With Me video, but many (including Kanyes, obvz) believed Beyoncé was more deserving of it.

Last night, singer Beck was awarded the Grammy for Album of the Year, again much to the shock of many who were expecting Beyoncé to win for her self-titled album. Never one to go down without a fight, Kanye "jokingly" ran on stage as if to interrupt, before thinking better of it and sitting back down.

Awks! As Kanye left the stage, Beck smilingly said, "I need some help!" before being joined on stage by his collaborators.

The rapper later spoke to E! reporters about the incident saying, "Beck, he should respect artistry, he shoulda given his award to Beyoncé."

Ah, chill out Kanye! While many saw the funny side of the prank, others were not so happy:

Kanye West is unreal. How utterly disrespectful to the outstanding talent that is Beck. Im just dumb founded by the lack of sportsmanship
