The MTV Video Music Awards are a known hotspot for controversy. This year’s event was no exception, and neither was its igniter: Kanye West.

After an electrifying tribute to Michael Jackson by various dancers and Janet Jackson, the awards started to make their way out to their soon-to-be owners, specifically the one for Best Female Video.

One of the contenders was Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It),” which has achieved iconic video status, but the category’s winner was Taylor Swift’s “You Belong to Me.” Once Swift began her acceptance speech, West took to the stage and took the microphone from her. He recognized that Taylor’s work was good, but then proceeded to say that Beyoncé’s video was one of the best of the decade. Swift looked heartbroken in the background, while Beyoncé looked embarrassed.

Kanyeezy was booed and it wasn’t long before producers kicked him out of the awards with girlfriend Amber Rose in tow.

Many attendees and celebrities took to their Twitter accounts blasting Kanye’s behavior. Everyone from rapper Pitbull to former American Idol Kelly Clarkson seemed to be on Team Taylor.

In a classy move, Beyoncé, whose “Single Ladies” won Video of the Year, expressed how excited she was to win her first VMA with Destiny’s Child when she was 17. After expressing how important that moment was to her, she invited Swift back to the stage so that she could finish her speech.

Since then, Kanye continues to be the most hated man in America. Given that he’s set to perform on Jay Leno’s new prime-time show tonight with Jay-Z and Rihanna, Predicto wondered: will he skip out on the show due to the VMA fiasco? 74% say no and expect Kanye to make his scheduled performance.

“Just because Kanye told Taylor off doesn’t mean he’s not going to do the hottest TV show with a legend like Jay-Z,” says member “rxfm2252.”

“If he skips out it will only show that he was totally wrong in what he said. It would be like admitting guilt,” says “warpony75.”

“I think Mr. West ticked off a lot of people at the show and should apologize to them tonight,” says “pxbo7193.”

“I want to challenge Kanye to a fistfight for being disrespectful to the entire entertainment industry by being a punk for real,” says “kqnc9334.”

Yowza! Let’s not get into any fights over this. After all, as host Russell Brand said, last night was about love. Maybe not everyone practiced it in a way that everyone else agrees with, but we speculate that TV ratings, album sales and “boos” will let Kanye know how folks feel about this situation in the long run.
