Last night at the Grammy Awards, Kanye West and his BFFs Beyoncé and Jay Z had a nice laugh when West stormed the stage pretending to interrupt Beck’s Album of the Year award.

It was, of course, a callback to when West stormed the stage at the 2009 VMAs to tell the world about the injustice that was Taylor Swift winning out over Beyoncé. Beck’s Morning Phase won Album of the Year over Beyoncé.

It was all laughs and, you know, probably staged, but the interview West gave after the fact to E! proves he really felt it. The full text of the interview is below. Never change, Kanye.

The Grammys, if they want real artists to come back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more. Flawless, Beyoncé video, and Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé.

And at this point, we tired of it because what happens is, when you keep on diminishing art, and not respecting the craft, and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration. And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day and they listen to that Beyoncé album, they feel like it takes them to another place, then they do this whole promotional event that, they’ll run the music over somebody’s speech, the artist, because they wanted commercial advertising.

And by the way, I got my wife, I got my daughter, and I got my clothing line, so I’m not gonna do nothing to put my daughter at risk, but I am here to fight for creativity. That’s the reason I didn’t say anything tonight. But y’all know what it meant when ‘Ye walks on that stage.
