Kanye West says EMAs were fixed

Kanye West claims this year's MTV Europe Music Awards were fixed, criticising his Best Urban Act win and the Britney Spears and Jared Leto wins.

Kanye West says he thinks this year's MTV Europe Music Awards were fixed, and not as you might think, because he didn't win. It was actually because he did.

He says: "I won nothing last year and I'd brought out 'Stronger'. Then this year, just because I was there, I won Best Urban Act. This was Lil Wayne's year". Hmmm, maybe it's because it's a public vote thing. I mean, maybe the public voted for him after a year of listening to his album?

Anyway, the criticisms didn't end there. "Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious? I mean fucking Jared Leto? He's my boy but he shouldn't have won over some of those other artists".

He might have a point with that last comment.
