Kanye West in a recent interview with Nick Canon recalled the infamous incident that saw him interrupt a 19-year-old Taylor Swift at the 200 VMAs. West revealed that he was ordered by God to jump on stage during Swift's acceptance speech, reported Unilad.
"If God didn’t want me to run on stage and say, ‘Beyoncé had the best video,’ he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row. I would’ve been sitting in the back. He wouldn’t have made it the first award. And [He] wouldn’t have made it so ridiculous of an idea ’cause I had never heard of this person before that night. And Single Ladies is like one of the greatest videos of all time… And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn’t want to go to the awards show ’cause it was a set-up!" West said during the interview.
The 43-year-old rapper claims he started reading the Bible in 2016 after his hospitalisation for psychiatric observation and treatment of temporary psychosis – the same year he released Famous.
"God brought me to my knees multiple times. The first time that I was put into the hospital in 2016, I actually started reading the bible. That was part of what God hit me with. You know, God has a calling on all of us and he uses us in different ways," he said.
