Kanye West Hides His Head Amid Beck/Grammy Controversy

On Tuesday, Kanye West cloaked himself when he took a trip to the gym during his stay in New York City. Maybe the 37-year-old manchild needs to work out the stress since he's under fire for his antics at the Grammys? Maybe it would be better for all of us if he just hid in a hole and never came out?!

On Sunday night, Kanye nearly crashed the stage when Beck won Album of the Year, beating out Yeezy's friend Beyonce. Nori's dad let Beck have his moment on stage but then ranted to E! News about Beyonce's loss after the awards show. Kanye said, "I don't know what [Beck] said, all I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more. Flawless, Beyoncé video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it."

Well Kanye -- we're tired of you ... and we aren't the only ones. Many music fans have been outraged by Kanye's remarks, noting that Beck both wrote and played every instrument on his album, while it took 68 people to make Beyonce's album. Earlier today, Garbarge rocker Shirley Manson took to her Facebook to slam the "artist."

Manson wrote:

    "Dear Kanye West,

    It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry. You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK. You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt. Grow up and stop throwing your toys around. You are making yourself look like a complete twat."


We have to agree with every single word she said ... especially her Scottish slang!

But at least one person is coming to Kanye's defense -- "I thought it was funny," John Legend told Us Weekly about Kanye's attempt to go on stage during Beck's Grammy speech."I looked at it as just a funny thing that people were going to talk about."

"It didn't hurt anybody," said Chrissy Tiegen's main man. "Anybody who's upset just needs to relax. It was funny."
