Kanye West says God told him to grab the mic from Taylor Swift at 2009 VMAs

Kanye West addressed the infamous moment at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in which he collected the microphone from Taylor Swift to declare that Beyonce had one of the “best videos of all time.”

Kanye West, 43, appeared on Nick Cannon’s podcast, “Cannon Class,” where they discussed myriad issues, including abortion, politics, and, of course, the unforgettable moment he stormed the stage and sparked a now decade-long feud with Swift.

West explained that he believes God told him to take the stage that night and that everything had aligned to make it happen.

“God has a calling on all of us and he uses us in different ways,” he told the host.

Recall Taylor Swift took the stage to accept the award for best female video for “You Belong With Me” in 2009 when West joined her onstage, grabbed the microphone and declared that Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” was more deserving of the award.

“If God ain’t want me to run onstage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row,” West told Cannon of the incident.
