John Legend Defends Beck On Instagram: I disagree with Kanye West.
While John Legend is a close friend and colleague of Kanye West, he says he doesn’t necessarily agree with him. Specifically, the 36-year-old singer/songwriter says that he believes Beck deserved his GRAMMY. Legend took to Instagram, weighing in on the controversy surrounding Kanye’s Beck comments. He wrote:
I want to clarify my thoughts on Kanye’s actions at the Grammys on Sunday. First of all, Kanye is my friend. He believed in me years ago when very few did, and I wouldn’t be here without his support. That doesn’t mean we’ll agree on everything, but it does mean that I am grateful to him. And I also believe he is one of the most gifted people I’ve had the privilege of working with.
In my comments to US Weekly, I said that when Kanye walked up on stage, mimicking his interruption of Taylor Swift’s VMA acceptance speech, then turned around as if he was just playing, most of the room including me saw this as funny, as a way of taking the piss out of himself for his infamous behavior several years ago.
He continues:
When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that’s what I meant. I wasn’t referring to Kanye’s comments after the show which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments.

I wish someone would do that to them and let them see how it feels. Kanye was out of line pbp. It’s called showing respect and having manners. Beyonce can’t win them all. Why is Kanye set on defending her when her man isn’t?
That is the same feeling I have about it. Beyonce and J are not worried aout it so why is he always jumping up and saying something? He don’t have to worry about winning a Grammy ever again. When was the last time he was ask to perform on the Grammy’s? ……I’ll wait!!
