In 2013 , '' Rolling Stone '' named the incident the wildest moment in VMA history . Also in 2013 , in a '' New York Times '' interview , West stated , " I do n't have one regret , " about the interruption and that he admittedly felt peer pressured into making a public apology . However , when asked if he had any desire to " take back " his actions or apology , West assumed neutrality , explaining , " You know what ? I can answer that , but I ’m – I ’m just – not afraid , but I know that would be such a distraction . It ’s such a strong thing , and people have such a strong feeling about it . " West himself somewhat parodied the event at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards in 2015 . When Beyoncé 's self-titled 5th studio album lost to Beck 's 2014 album '' Morning Phase '' for the Album of the Year award , Kanye once again appeared onstage , only to change his mind and return to his seat before speaking . Although the incident initially seemed like a lighthearted joke , Kanye later revealed in an after-show interview with E! that he was actually genuinely disappointed that Beyoncé did not win the award . He also expressed his disdain for the Grammy 's in general , and felt that Beck should " respect artistry " and give his award to Beyoncé . He later apologized to Beck . Following the interview , he was once again met with backlash from many celebrities and commentators . During the '' Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary Special '' , Dana Carvey and Mike Myers presented a skit named Wayne 's World . As they were listing the top ten best aspects of SNL , they made a joke twice about Kanye stepping onstage , but this time , Kanye seemed to enjoy it
