Kanye West
He recently went on Instagram to set the record straight, and fans have been reacting.
Sharing an old photo of journalist, Don Lemon, Kanye wrote, “This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always KOONS like this.”
An insider close to the Recording Academy added, “Kanye was an invited guest and wasn’t forcibly removed from the event. He walked the red carpet, got in his car of his own volition, and then left…police and Grammys security never got involved.”
WOW.
