Things started on a positive note when West brought out rapper Kid Cudi, with whom he'd had an online feud earlier this year. Before performing together, the pair hugged on stage as the crowd cheered.

But the uplifting energy quickly shifted when West began to rant about other artists.
“Beyoncé, I was hurt. 'Cause I heard that you said you wouldn't perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over 'Hotline Bling,'" West said, referencing this year's MTV Video Music Awards. "Now don't go trying to diss Beyoncé. She is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all people. But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forgetting who we are just to win. F**k winning. F**k looking cool. F**k being cool."
The "Famous" rapper went on to take a jab at Beyoncé's husband and his longtime pal, Jay Z, saying, '"ay Z, call me bruh. You still ain't called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don't send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man."
