2004: West allegedly walked out of the American Music awards claiming he was "robbed" when country singer Gretchen Wilson won Best New Artist instead of him. "I was the best artist of the year," he told reporters, claiming a conspiracy was at work.
2005: West goes off-script live on NBC during a Hurricane Katrina benefit concert to tell America "George Bush doesn't care about black people." Mike Myers's astounded expression says it all.
2005: It's not just MTV awards that get West all riled up. Prior to the 2005 Grammys, the rapper warned there would be a "real problem" if he went away empty-handed. Artists who claimed to "love everybody but themselves" were just engaging in "cliched media training", apparently. Seems he was just getting warmed up.
2006: West delivered an expletive-ridden tirade when Justice vs Simian scooped the Best Video award at the MTV Europe Music awards in Copenhagen. But Touch the Sky had Pam Anderson in it! West jumped across canyons! Afterwards the rapper responded to criticism by saying: "People were so surprised at what I did. I'm more surprised people thought I had changed."
2006: An interview with Rolling Stone stokes more controversy and Fox News get to run the immortal headline "Kanye West poses as Jesus, says he's addicted to porn."
2007: At the MTV Video Music Awards the rapper apparently became "upset" when he had to perform his song Stronger from the Palms' Hugh Hefner Sky Villa instead of the main stage. When he walked away empty-handed after receiving five nominations, he reportedly yelled: "That's two years in a row, man … I'm trying hard, man, I have the number one record, man."
2008: Ye's ever-expanding blog becomes the outlet for his capital-letter frustration with just about everyone. In reponse to his arrest after an altercation with a photographer. "Let us not forget the paps killed princess Diana" he writes.
2009: Someone, somewhere, goes a step too far when they assume West's identity on Twitter. "I DON'T HAVE A ****ING TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER???" he writes. Why indeed, when there are so many awards shows to vent your opinion at?
2009: "South Park murdered me last night", writes West, after the rapper was depicted on the show as a gay man attracted only to male fish. In a rare and apparently fleeting moment of self-awareness, he writes. "As long as people think I act like a ***** this type of **** will happen to me."
2009: The rapper elicits a chorus of boos when he bounds onstage during country singer Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Video and declares "Taylor, I'm really happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!"
