(VIDEO) Kanye West booed at Thanksgiving Parade
Rapper Kanye West was booed by the crowd during the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade last week.
West performed his new song Lost In The World during the 2010 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday morning in New York City. The song is included in his new album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
A video has surfaced showing Thanksgiving crowd openly voicing out their disapproval of Kanye West perfomance at the parade. The crowd could be heard chanting "Taylor! Taylor!" coupled with expletives directed at the rapper.
The video has been posted on November 25th, and has received more than 200, 000 views on YouTube. It received 667 likes, and 365 dislikes. But most of the comments were defending Kanye West, with some YouTube users observing that the crowd failed to appreciate West's artistic creativity, and noting that Taylor Swift had already forgiven West.
West was previously shunned for his behavior at the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards, when he interrupted singer Taylor Swift as she collected her statuette for Best Female Video. West told Swift and everyone at the awards show that Beyonce, not Swift, should have won the award. Later, no less than US President Barrack Obama called him a ''jackass''. The rapper has since apologized for his behavior.
