As you all know Kanye West rapper blamed MTV for exploiting him and ruining Britney Spears’ career. MTV bosses has responded to Kanye West’s criticism at the Video Music Awards by extending their relationship and not commenting on the rappers claims. West told New York radio station Z100’s JJ, on Sep 10 that he felt misled and “betrayed” by the network, and has vowed to never work with MTV again. On the other side MTV’s statement instead, complimented the rapper.

MTV has a long and collaborative relationship with Kanye and we hope and look forward to continuing that meaningful relationship. Kanye West is a visionary performer and he didn’t let his fans down at this year’s VMA’s. From his incredible renditions of “Stronger” and “The Good Life,” to the spectacular aerial shots from his multi-level suite which made for one of the grandest visuals of the night, the audience feedback on MTV.com has been overwhelming.
