1. When Kanye Stormed The Stage At Taylor Swift's Win

Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video when West decided to crash the stage, taking the award from Swift and declaring that Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.2. When He Crashed Another Stage Because He Was A Sore Loser

Image Source / Rolling StoneIt's not uncommon for persistent paparazzi to get on the wrong side of celebs, and that's exactly what happened with Kanye. He wasn't happy when a photographer tried to get footage of him at LAX airport, and he ended up being arrested after getting into a scuffle with him.4. When He Peed On His Grammy
Image Source / Daily MailHe crashes the stage when he loses, and he pees on his award when he does win. It makes no sense. After calling the music industry's practices 'modern day slavery', Kanye refused to release new music until his contracts ended, and then uploaded a video of him peeing on one of his Grammy trophies in the toilet.5. When He Decapitated A Clay Animation Version Of Pete Davidson
Image Source / US WeeklyWhen West released the music video for Eazy in 2022, it depicted the kidnapping, decapitation and burning of a claymation version of Pete Davidson - the man now dating Kanye's ex, Kim Kardashian. The backlash was dismissed as 'art therapy' by Kanye, but there's no denying it's disturbing.6. When He Made His Speech About George Bush Not Caring About Black People During Hurricane Katrina

When He Released That Monster Mash Video

Image Source / US WeeklyWhen Kanye rejoined Twitter in 2018, he openly expressed his support for Trump, saying that both him and Donald were 'dragon energy' and 'he is my brother'.

His Tweets Against Kim And Her Mother

When He Made Comments About Slavery On TMZ Live
Image Source / YouTubeDuring an interview for TMZ in 2018, West made his view on slavery known, stating: “You hear about slavery for 400 years. 400 years? That sounds like a choice. Like, that was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all? It’s, like, we’re mentally in a prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks.” He was criticised for his appearance on the show.14. When He Publicly Criticised Kim But Then Asked For His Family Back
Image Source / Black Christian NewsKanye criticised Kim Kardashian publicly for letting their daughter, North, use social media. Kim called him out for constant social media attacks, and days later, West posted a collage of photos of Kim and their children with the tagline GOD PLEASE BRING OUR FAMILY BACK TOGETHER. He has since deleted the post.15. When He Hassled Billie Eilish
Image Source / PeopleEarlier this year, West demanded that Billie Eilish apologize to Travis Scott - and threatened to refuse his Coachella appearance if she didn't say sorry.

When He Vowed To Never Return To MTV Again

When He Wanted Everyone To Know How Fresh His Suit Was
Image Source / US WeeklyKanye is apparently of the mind that if he isn't going to win any awards or be bigged up by anyone else, then he'll do it all by himself.

When He Wanted Everyone To Call Him Martin Louis The King, Jr
Image Source / US WeeklyWest has fast become known as a fashion guru as well as a music artist, with his range of sneakers and Yeezys.

But then changed his name to Ye anyway.20. When He Wasn't Impressed By His South Park Representation
Image Source / US WeeklyIt's not uncommon for major celebs to make an appearance on hit animated shows like South Park, Family Guy or the Simpsons. And when an animated version of Kanye was made on South Park in 2009, West was less than impressed. He said his feelings had been hurt and that South Park "murdered" him.21. When He Announced Kim's First Pregnancy During A Show
Image Source / BrooklynVeganUsually you'd want to make a pregnancy announcement as a couple, at a time that suits both of you.

When He Slammed Justin Timberlake And Jay-Z

He told the audience at the concert that he 'aint f**kin with that Suit & Tie'. Nothing like artists supporting artists.23. When He Revealed His Plastic Surgery
Image Source / PeopleKanye West spoke about Rob Kardashian's issues with body image and how his brother-in-law had left his wedding to Kim early because of his feelings about his image. Then West revealed that he himself had plastic surgery because he didn't want to be made to feel how Rob had felt, so he got liposuction.24. When He Said He Was Running For President
Image Source / US WeeklyMaybe inspired by his pal Trump, Kanye decided he wanted to run for president.

He ended up spending millions for presidential votes, but didn't come out victorious in the end.25. When He Spoke About Abortion During His Presidential Rally
Image Source / US WeeklyEven though he wasn't successful, that didn't stop him from giving it a good go.

He went on to talk about enslaved people, his genius IQ and homeless people.26. When He Officially Changed His Name To Ye
Image Source / Snopes.comKanye West revealed via a Tweet that he was no longer Kanye West, but now he should be called by the name of Ye. The name change was legally signed off by a judge in 2021, and his tweet included "the being" formally known as West.27. When He Didn't Want The Divorce
Image Source / The SunWest initially claimed he never received any divorce papers from Kim. He contested Kim saying that the pair are divorced on SNL, and spoke about his kids wanting their parents to stay together and how he wanted him and Kim to be together.28. When He Made Public Pleas Through The Medium Of Song For Kim To Come Back To Him
Image Source / NMEIf you're a music artist who wants their ex back, one of the go-tos is bound to be to write a song about it. During the Free Larry Hoover event in 2021, West performed Runaway whilst changing the lyrics to 'specifically Kimberly' running back to him. It didn't work, as one day later Kim had filed paperwork to be legally single.29. When He Called Out His Mother In Law's Boyfriend Corey Gamble
Image Source / The Hollywood GossipIn an Instagram post this year, Kanye set his sights on new target, Corey Gamble, Kris Jenner's boyfriend. His post included 'God has a plan to remove the godless Corey' and he also apparently removed Gamble from his daughter's birthday party after Gamble gave some music recommendations.30. When He Dropped His Kids Off To School In A Firetruck
