I love Beck but he doesn't deserve Grammy: Kanye West

Rapper Kanye West, who crashed Beck's Grammy acceptance speech, says he was not joking and the award should have gone to Beyonce.

West's stunt at the Grammy, reminiscent of his VMA moment with Taylor Swift, was thought to be a joke initially but the rapper said he was serious as Beyonce not Beck should have won the trophy. "Beck knows that Beyonce should have won - you know that," West said. Asked if he'd ever heard of Beck before the Grammy awards show, he said, "Come on, man, I love Beck. But he ain't have Album of the Year."

Singer Shirley Manson blasted West for his stunt and said "You Make Yourself Look Small and Petty and Spoilt".

West nearly crashed Beck's acceptance speech after his 'Morning Phase' won the coveted Album of the Year Award over other albums by Beyonce, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams.

In 2009, when Taylor Swift beat Beyonce to win the VMA for her video "You Belong With Me", West famously interrupted her acceptance speech.

At the Grammys this year, Swift and West seemed to have called a truce.
