KANYE WEST - WEST BLASTS MTV EMA'S

WEST BLASTS MTV EMA'S

KANYE WEST is convinced this year's (08) MTV Europe Music Awards were fixed, and insists he shouldn't have been handed a gong.
The Stronger hitmaker performed and collected the Ultimate Urban prize at the ceremony in Liverpool, England on Thursday (06Nov08) - but he is adamant he did not deserve the award.
He says, "I won nothing last year and I'd brought out Stronger. Then this year, just because I was there, I won best urban act. This was Lil Wayne's year."
And it isn't just himself that the rapper deems unworthy of an award - he's fuming that Britney Spears and Jared Leto's band 30 Seconds To Mars were handed honours.
He adds, "Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious? I mean f**king Jared Leto? He's my boy but he shouldn't have won over some of those other artists."
The awards are voted for by the public and music industry officials.
