Kanye and Taylor both have the same agent.

His name is David Wirtschafter.

Interesting....
Was Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs staged?

It turns out both artists have the same agent, David Wirtschafter. Not only that but David Wirtschafter is also 50 Cents agent.

If you remember, a year ago there was a beef between 50 Cent and Kanye West right before their albums dropped. 50 Cent said he would retire if Kanye sold more albums then him because Kanye’s music is garbage. Later both artists admitted the “beef” was staged to promote their album releases.

So Kanye and Wirtschafter have faked a controversy in the past to help promote another artist who he represents. Also isn’t it a little suspicious that Kanye was flaunting that Hennessey bottle all night to show that he was getting drunk?

Celebrities are a big business people. Almost everything is controlled. There is just too much money involved.

The only thing about that, if true, is it seems to have blown up in Kanye's face.

I actually like Taylor Swift a little more because of the whole thing, which is to say something slightly greater than zero now. But Kanye is now persona non grata among a lot of people. So it's a net loss and the agent should be fired if he really dreamed this up.

It was planned. They have the same agent. Really now. Do you think anyone can storm a stage without warning in this kind of production anymore? I don't. 50 cent has the same agent. Kanye and 50 cent had an issue.

This was all made up, imo

I don't think it hurts him either. Keeps his name out there. I don't think people are going to stop buying his records because he interrupted that cute little country singer.

I really don't think so. He wanted to get attention in some way and saw this as the best opportunity he could come up with. The girl seemed genuinely surprised and I doubt she's that good of an actress. As far as getting onto the stage, I doubt it's that hard for a "star" to do what he did....who is going to stop him, they are all so full of themselves no one is going to be bothered to go out on a limb to protect anyone else. That being said, it's been great for her, she won the sympathy of the nation .. simply because he showed himself to be the ass he is.

His music is good, but he has some kind of personality defect and has or has had issues with alot more people than just 50 cent.

*all just my opinion...means nothing*

I thought it was staged when I watched it...but it still has turned out horribly for him.

Though I bet more people know who he is now...

There's a high probability it was staged, now that I think about it.

As others have said, in the end it gets him more attention which is all he wanted, I'm sure.

Maybe the agent put him up to it - doesn't mean she was aware - probably would come off better if she was not. Regardless, he got 2 of his biggest clients lots of airtime. Wouldn't surprise me.

It was staged, everyone is still talking about it, and he has his own meme.

This is why Kanye is awesome.
