This shiz is still going on. If you have no idea why Kanye has to apologize, you can click here or here (it will open in a new window) to get a video recap on his Taylor Swift MTV VMA debacle. Or to sum it up…he metaphorically slapped a kitten.

Kanye West took his sad self to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z on Jay Leno. He appeared to play the pity card and the subject of his mother who passed away during a beauty related operation. He had to compose himself after Jay asked what his mother would have thought of his behavior.

While he seemed serious I would like to remind everyone that his publicists pre-approve all questions to be asked during ALL interviews. So he knew the subject of his mother would be coming up. Take that fact and come to your own conclusion.
