MTV has announced that Kanye West will perform at this year’s Video Music Awards. Yes, the awards show that sparked the now infamous “Imma let you finish, but …” exchange with Taylor Swift that no one seems to want to let go. In any case, in light of that nagging memory and Kanye’s recent tomfoolery, we decided to have a little fun and think of five outrageous antics Yeezy might have up his sleeve for his 2013 VMA appearance.
Choose to stay completely silent or expressionless with the exception of his actual performance.
If we know anything else about Yeezy, we know that he considers himself an artiste and is sensitive about his ish. So in that vein, he may decide to walk the red carpet but not say a word. He’ll simply do his performance and then bounce because “his art speaks for itself.” After all, in the celebrity world, silence can often be the loudest cry for attention.
Bring his newborn daughter North onto the stage.
I will refrain from sharing my thoughts on his daughter’s name because it’s rude to speak about people’s kids. All of that aside though, how crazy would it be if Kanye introduced his daughter to the public at the VMAs?! He was there when Beyoncé and Jay Z revealed their pregnancy on the MTV stage, so maybe this would be his way of one-upping his big bro. Kim Kardashian and her mama would have a heart attack of happiness.
… Or propose to Kim
Kanye already let us know that Kim is his “perfect b*tch” so why not make it official? She’s the mother of his child now and maybe he’s ready to settle down. Doing it in the most public way possible would please his future mother-in law, Kris Jenner, who can spin this into a wedding planning empire or something. As an added bonus, Kanye could then stop spiting the paparazzi by making allusions to an engagement.
Perform while nailed to a crucifix.
As you all probably know, Yeezy’s latest album was titled Yeezus. For anyone that didn’t get that reference, it rhymes with a certain religious figure you may have heard of. The album itself has a song that supposedly features God himself (no, I am not kidding), so it wouldn’t be far-fetched for Kanye to show up on a cross and liken himself to Jesus … once again. His ego is already beyond inflated, and he seems to think of himself as a martyr to fame, so it’s almost perfect actually. I shudder to think of the backlash from that one.
Do absolutely nothing at all.
Kanye is so off the wall at this point, that he might garner the most press if he does absolutely nothing out of the ordinary – not by his standards, but by like, regular standards. If he calmly walks the carpet, gives a smile here and there, and just gives his performance without any antics, we all might just pass out from shock. It won’t be as fun, but it may be the best course of action for his career.
