Speaking to the BBC Radio 1’s Jo Whiley, the music mogul admitted the incident was “inappropriate at the time.” But, as Kanye’s former mentor, he added: “He’s just a super-passionate person”.
Jay-Z, scheduled to appear with Coldplay at Wembley Stadium this weekend, said: “Of course it was rude because it was her moment but that’s the way he really felt.” But he added, “I think it was rude but the way they’re treating him… He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.”

I have less respect for Jay.
Not surprised. Blacks tend to defend each other regardless of the situation. Would Jay have said the same if Kanye were a White man?
No surprise here, he is just another racist that beats women on camera.
But you wouldn’t know it cause the PC press glorifies them.
That bitch lisa on here talking about blacks defend each ,, you stupid bitch and you dont think whites defend each other.. GTFOH dumb bitch!! Of course he is right, he didnt kill nobody bitch and he didnt hit anyone, plus a big plus he didnt called her th c word,, you dumb bitch!! Lisa you stupid bitch you and that bitch bejeebus . probably the same stupid meth skanks!!
I understand why he defended him. They’re friends after all, and it’s kind of nice to know that he didn’t abandon him in favor of good PR. In the end… Kanye was a jerk, but he apologized. So lets move on.
Jamie foxx, kanye and Jay are all racists.
Rappers are misogynistic purveyors of violence against women.
alicia keyes (AK47) would say the gubmint invented rap so the black men would kill each other …lol.
i lost a lot of respect for Jay Z for saying that. you know if what happened was the other way around we’d never hear the damn end of it. SCENARIO: And the Female Pop Video of the Year goes to Beyonce. And there’s Eminmen on stage grabbing her mike and saying, “I’m happy for you Beyonce and I’ll let you finish” “TAYLOR SWIFT MADE THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME” Em hands mike back to Beyonce. make that em gets tackled by beat up before he can leave the stage. you know it’s true.
Aysla.. i agree and what the hell do these idiots think he would do their friends, its not a damn black thing, WTF? hell jayz defended travis barker and kid Rock, why the fuc- it has to be a black thing , but oh look at all the whites that defended Don Imus. of course it will go that way always has and always will, he apologized so move the hell on from it like you do when the rest of the idiots say racist things and then apoplogized! Obama called Kanye a jackass so what the jell is that a d amn white thing , now if obama would have said Kanye was just being Kanye then .. lord have mercy thease racista would have went crazy.. whatever get the hell over it and move on like Taylor has done making all her spotlight on different shows.. please!!
Yep, they all stick together, even if they know what was done was wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now who’s the asshole???
I love Pat’s usage of the word “they” to reference black people. Some of you are beyond ignorant. Anyway, wrong is wrong and Jay-Z doesn’t need to defend another man’s actions. He needs to just stay out of it now, friend or not.
Jay-Z should have not many any comments regarding the incident because it looks bias since Kayne was putting Beyonce on a pedastol. And so what if he’s a passionte person, that doesn’t mean that incident can slide. Kayne is a rapper and has no class, let’s just be real, money and fame wont buy you manners and class.
First of all They stick together.. so what!! THEY should stick together , first you bitches say they dont stick together, now its they stcik together, so damn YOU PEOPLE stick together too! Jay z can talk about it if he wants to, hes a grown man and after all hie wife was involved in so he has every right to comment. If it goes like that any person that was not involved in it should shut the hell up then! Let it be between kanye, the taylor girl and Beyonce!! Beyonce get hate from a lot of folks on her 9jealous ass) especially that skank LISa (about some damn weave) and she was the one in the conflict that was sensible to give her time up to thr girl!! PLEASE!!!
Jay-z is a Fucking drug-dealer and a thug!
Fuck off you Monkey!
He’s half-right. Kanye is certainly no Joe Wilson. Now that’s a disgusting human being.
Alicia, your rantings are that of an angry black FOOL, learn to spellck!
Joe Wilson is #1.
Kanyae & his homies SUCK!
Where did my comment go
Okay, so some of you lose respect for Jay, others rant on and on about how black people stick together no matter what. So now that you got that off your chest is your life any better? No? Didn’t think so. You’re still checking celeb blogs every so often wishing you were them and they are suprisingly not affected by your banter. lol
Go Taylor! Go Kanye! - they both got more coverage than ever before - especially Taylor! Best thing that could have happened to her.
Lets try this again, GET OVER IT.
People have been so disrespectful in regards to the racial comments that have been made towards Kanye. He did what he did, he apologized, she accepted. GET OVER IT. People who didn’t know about Taylor, now does. GET OVER IT.
Doesn’t sound like he’s defending his actions. He’s just explaining the type of person Kanye is. And also saying that the whole this was blown way out of porportion by the media, which is CORRECT.
Sam… FUCK YOU!! SPELL YOUR ASS! SKIP OVER MY POST DUMBASS! YOUR NAME IS NOT ON IT STUPID! Do you really have to comment me, i dont know and dont want to know you , this is a comment board get over commenting to me!not a chat room dumb ass!
Fab.. you are so right! but you know THOSE PEOPLE love to hate on the brown ! Look at the man in the mirror!!
shut the F$#@ up Jay Z. He was wrong. Fullstop.
Some of you need your heads checked.
Did he say it was right? NO
Did he comend him for it? NO
For fuck sake, get over it. Like Jay-Z said he didn’t kill no one. He didn’t violently attack her on stage did he? Am i missing something?
Where the hell were you lot when he did the same at the EMAs, huh? Where was the ‘outrage’ then? Double standard.
AJF.. you are right as always.. well most of the time, JK, but hey you know these idiots always want to say bad about blacks but overlook the white idiots. One more damn time Jay Z can voice his view if he wants.. what the hell? he said KW was wrong but like he said thes mofo.s act like he killed someone or that he called her a racist name and he could have! Hello Jay Z never met you but we have the same view on this one. They can talk crap about what Kanye did but Don Imus can call young black girls out of their name, and then they come with the GD “oh freedom of speech crap”"> We all know its freedom of speech but your dumbass dont have the right to insult and name call! What idiot doesnt have sense enough to know that! Now im thru with this Kanye Taylor mess!
@SAM, my message to you bitch your mother is a BLACK FOOL lover since you want to call names you dumb ignorant ass douchebag! And if it will stop you from reading my post i will never ever ever spell check bitch!! Why read them and comment , they are not addressed to your ugly ass? Yeah oh yeah bitch when you name call me you bring it out you stankin ugly WHITE whatever color you are FOOL! And for your info again asshole, im mixed but i only claim the black so calling me a black fool is not insulting , only the fool part but if you had of said white fool.. oh bitch its on then!!
evil bitch is right
Aint nobody beating no damn Em before he leaves the stage, wtf? If if was the same scenario turned around and Em did that to Beyonce and said the award should go to Taylor, it should be the same thing . rude and direspectful but if it got to name calling and the H or C word then that would be wrong too! WTF??? All jay z is saying that he apologized to the girl and its was rude but he didnt kill nobody or call them out of their name like some nameless ones have done.. thats all get over it1 damn!! Don Imus called names and a bunch of idiots took you for him saying “freedom of speech”" so lets dont get into the fair for one and unfair for the other! She is not crying about it in fact she went on THE VIEW the next day so clearly she is over it too~! Keep making good music Kanye ~!!
That guy Joe Wilson shouts out “liar’ to the President, to the President mind you , interupts the President of the United States speech with bullcrap, but yet they want to throw kanye under the bus ,, the President mind you.. Kanye keep on making good music you aint lost no real fans~~! You talk about racism, its alive in this world and probably will never go away.. so Jay z stick up for your friend they stick up for theirs~~!
Alicia, I see you’re still RANTING your Black Fool ass off!!!!! Like the poster said above “They All Stick together”. p.s. If you want people to think you have some intelligence, then you should show your white side more often! Learn to spellck, ok, then maybe someone will think you at least have some education! DUMBASS!
Sam, you’re the one who needs the education; you ignorant fool.
