Kanye West 'shocked and devastated' over Rihanna

11/02/2009 11:11:00 AM, MusicFIX Prev Next

Kanye West is said to be shocked over allegations his good friend Rihanna was assaulted by her boyfriend, rapper Chris Brown shortly before the 51st Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

Kanye was reportedly hanging out with the pair on Saturday at a pre-Grammys party in L.A., and learned of the news just before performing at the Awards show.

"I was completely devastated during the performance," West said.

"Rihanna is so important to our culture ... to pop music," he said. "I feel like she is the most important artist in music and has the most potential. Her taste level and her age ... she has the potential to be the greatest artist of all time.

"In that sense, I feel like that's my baby sis," he said of Rihanna. "I would do any and everything to help her in any situation.

Both Chris Brown and Rihanna were scheduled to perform at the music industry's night of nights, but each failed to make an appearance. Brown turned himself into authorities by the end of the night for alleged assault. Meanwhile, Rihanna is said to be suffering "horrific" injuries, including facial bruising, a bloody nose and a split lip.

Kanye was loathe to speculate on what might have taken place, but said abuse was never okay. "I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's ... [abuse] should never happen. It should never come to that place," he added.

he shouldnt be allowed to pay his way out again- he should suffer the consequences just olike every other normal person- because he is a celebrity he can pay his way out of all the crimes he commits! thats unfair to the rest of us who could not afford bail and would have to suffer the consequences instead of just paying his way out and not learning his lesson. its sick how could someone do that and get away wiht it because of money. . he deserves a consequense.

Reading over the first page of these comments, I find a lot of people saying "we dont know the full story" and "dont judge". Regardless of knowing or not, regardless of what the situation was. Even if she had told him she "has aids and purposefully gave him aids", it is NEVER ok to hit a woman. And I dont even like Rhianna.

Wow Look At Rihanna's Finger Nails CUTE MCH

excuse me peoples but I think Kanye West should *** out of this one and so should all of you nosies! You guys are silly to judge because you know NOTHING of what happened you can only know if you were there or have footage....Like words are words people can lie soooooooo easily so just dont be a moron by saying that his career should go! I mean he is only a kid! He is so young and how would you like it if this happened to you I mean not that you idiots (who are saying his career should go) could get a career as good as his I mean he is AWESOME and no one except for him and Rihanna Know so you guys shut your gobs!LOSERS!

Miss made a comment that TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AUSTRALIA SAYS NO and that people who do that go to prison for years and years. Have we forgotten to Brooke Satchwell? TO VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AUSTRALIA SAYS NO UNLESS YOUR RICH AND FAMOUS.

where do u guys get off. Imyself eudured a very violent relationship and it haunts u for many years.Mentally and emotionally.What gives this monster Chris Brown the right to inflict such pain and trauma to this poor girl who asks for a black eye!this type of man has serious issues what about the poor next girl?It doesnt stop there im afraid to say!

Everyone hates chris brown now so im not the only one, his music sounds the same and he is boring.

Well Looks like we might have another Ike and Tina Turner, but look where she ended up!! One of the best!!! I guess it's def hard to judge before you know the true story, and just remember chinese wispers aren't what the true story is as everyone adds a little bit extra here and there so eventually the true story is never told... Lets just leave it and move on.. It's def disappointing, but also a huge shock for all we know it could be all false... So lets just wait and see what the next part of the story is sprawled all over the papers.

"Kanye was loathe to speculate on what might have taken place, but said abuse was never okay. "I don't care how famous she is or even if she just worked at McDonald's ... [abuse] should never happen. It should never come to that place," he added." It's ok if you smash up a photographers gear and abuse them though. He forgot to add that clause clearly. The two situations can't really be compared but he is a hypocrite anyway.

You people have no idea what your talking about. You have absolutely no idea what happened. Maybe she told him she has aids and purposefully gave him aids. Which is as about as likely as the sun dying tommorow, but how would you know any different - WOULD you be angry?. So keep your mouths shut. If it turns out he got angry becuase of her clothes or something idiotic then go to town, don't buy his albums and abuse anybody who does, or however you deal with your problems. Getting angry at him over WHAT you think MIGHT have happened is as idiotic as what he did.

A Lily Allen comeback? Already? MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 10 2010 10:58AM

In what could be the shortest retirement ever, Lily Allen is reconsidering her retirement plans just months after announcing she had quit music for good.

After promising It's Not Me, It's You would be her final album, Allen is already regretting her decision. "I keep thinking I am letting down all my fans," the singer told the UK's Metro . "Can I do it to them? It's a tough decision."

It must be the month of broken promises, with Allen returning to her twittering ways. The singer, well known for her Twitter addiction went cold turkey last year due to "technology overload," the UK's Glamour magazine reported.

But to the joy of twits everywhere Lily returned last week, proclaiming her love for Lady Gaga ("She is the bestest beeyatch ever") and singing with joy over her three Brit Award nominations.

There has been a Jo'Bro sized hole in the airwaves lately with Joe busy missing out on tv cameos and Kevin getting hitched. Luckily Nick went solo and we have the album ready for your listening pleasure.

We've been hearing about Nick's new band 'The Administration' for a while now and the album definitely delivers on the rumoured 'more adult' sound he was aiming for.

Working with members of Prince's old band the youngest brother has delivered a rock-pop disc sounding far older than his age would suggest.

So if you've ever wondered what one bro would sound like...

READ COMMENTS 2 COMMENTS Beyonce stumbles and tumbles... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 9 2010 9:37AM

American Idol judges would have raved about Beyonce's performance after she managed to make an on-stage fall look like part of the show.

During her Brazilian concert last week, Beyonce's super-high stilettos got the better of her as she took a tumble mid-song.

Luckily for her and unluckily for the front row that could have got a piece of the star, she narrowly avoided falling off the stage and quickly regained her balance to continue belting out the song, 'Irreplaceable'.

This is the second fall of Beyonce's to become a YouTube sensation. The first was captured during a show three years ago in Orlando with the singer faceplanting down a flight of stairs.

Check out our gallery of the most embarrassing onstage blunders from the world's biggest stage stars. They'll never live down these babies!

READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS Justin Timberlake - not such a sexy blonde... MusicFIX Blog by Jade Feb 8 2010 11:54AM

Justin Timberlake looked a little too comfortable in the blonde wig he wore last week to accept his 'Hasty Pudding Man of the Year' award from Harvard University.

Organisers said Timberlake was a "triple threat". "He sings, he dances and he goes straight to DVD," they said. The annual award is given to entertainers who have "made a lasting contribution to the world of entertainment".

JT also endured a roasting of people from his past including spoof versions of Madonna, 'N Sync and a fat-suited, pigtail-wearing Britney Spears.

But the 'Sexyback' singer, accompanied by girlfriend Jessica Biel (so much for the bust-up rumours), said the silver pudding pot prize was "cooler than a Grammy or Emmy". READ COMMENTS 0 COMMENTS
