Kanye Talks Michael Phelps, OJ Simpson, Chris Brown & Radiohead


Kanye West didn't only talk about himself when he appeared on “VH1 Storytellers.” Kanye talked about Chris Brown, Radiohead, Michael Phelps and O.J. Simpson.

According to Reuters, Mr. West was less than pleased that Radiohead’s Thom Yorke allegedly snubbed him backstage at the Grammys on Feb. 8, especially since he is a fan of the British band and considers it one of his inspirations.

“So when he performed at the Grammys, I sat the fu** down,” West said.

He also addressed the Chris Brown-Rihanna incident, asking the audience, “Can’t we give Chris a break? … I know I make mistakes in life.”

Kanye also mentioned O.J. Simpson that didn’t go over too well with the crowd. “O.J. Simpson, amazing. Is he not? What he did, when he did, what he did. Was he not amazing though?”

He did receive cheers when he said, “Michael Jackson, amazing. Michael Phelps, amazing … He’s a real fu**in’ person; he makes mistakes,” referring to the photo of Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe.

Catch Kanye on VH1 Storytellers on Saturday at 9 p.m. on VH1.
