We all know what Kanye is capable of saying especially in an award ceremony. The 2015 MTV VMA Award was not far from it when Kanye West said he would run for president in 2020 as he collected MTV's highest honour at the Video Music Awards.
"I still don't understand awards shows, I don't understand how they get five people who work their entire life, sold records, sold concert tickets, to stand on a red carpet, to come and for the first time in their life stand on the chopping block and be considered a loser.
"I don't understand it, I'm conflicted bro. I just want people to like me more but f*** that bro.
"I will die for the art, for what I believe in and the art ain't always going to be polite. I bet they are thinking right now if I smoked something before this and the answer is yes, I rolled up a little something to take the edge off."
After holding his head in his hands for an extended period of time, he added: "It's about ideas, people who believe in truth. And yes, as you probably could have guessed, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
Another surprise of the day was when Kanye West was reunited on stage with Taylor Swift, six years after he famously walked on stage at the 2009 VMAs and interrupted her speech to declare Beyonce the more worthy winner of an award.
Announcing West as winner of the Video Vanguard award, Swift called him her friend and said: "I first met Kanye West at this show six years ago and since then we have a had lot of time to talk about a lot of things.
"The whole world knew about our exchange at the VMAs but most people don't know his album College Dropout was the first album I bought on iTunes when I was 12."
West, in turn, admitted he had regrets about his stage invasion, telling the audience: "I think if I had to do it all again what would I have done?
"Would I have worn a leather shirt, would I have drunk half a bottle of Hennessy and given the other half to the audience? If I had a daughter, would I have gone on stage and grabbed the mic from someone else's?"Watch Video Below:
His speech was truly amazing http://t.co/rIAOiKPK7U
