Garbage's Shirley Manson is one person who was not amused by Kanye West's silent stage rush at the Grammys when Beck won Album of the Year over Beyoncé. The singer has penned an open letter on Facebook calling 'Ye "petty" and "spoilt," among other things. While she uses some harsh words, she does end with an excellent point about Bey not needing anyone's help. Read the letter below.
"Dear Kanye West
It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry.
You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK.
You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt.
In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own.
Grow up and stop throwing your toys around.
You are making yourself look like a complete twat.
Ps.I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account. Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own."
