Now, Ye’s ex-girlfriend – who he was with at the time – has spoken out about what happened before and after the infamous moment.
Speaking on the Jeff Wittek podcast, Amber explained it all started when Kanye picked up a bottle of Hennessy, which he took with him to the event.
In pictures from the red carpet, Kanye can be seen clutching the bottle.
“I kind of egged him on about getting the Hennessy bottle back upstairs in the apartment,” she said.
“I was like ‘babe, you’re a superstar go get that Henny, let’s go to the VMAs, let’s just have fun, f**k it’, taking shots out the bottle, dancing in the car and having fun and living that rock star s**t.”
While Amber said she egged him on with the booze, she emphasised that it wasn’t ‘her fault’ that he decided to get up on stage.
“He went on stage, that’s not my fault though,” she continued, explaining that after Kanye got up on stage, the car ride home was ‘terrible’.
“It was terrible, we went to the Spotted Pig afterwards with Jay-Z and Beyoncé,” she added.
Explaining that Jay-Z wasn’t ‘mad’ at Ye, Amber recalled: “I could tell that he instantly felt bad, we sobered up very fast.
“With all honesty, he did feel bad. As soon as it happened, he sat back down and was like ‘f**k’.
“He didn’t want to take that moment away from her but he just felt strongly about Beyonce’s video.
“He wasn’t right for going up there, he was wrong for taking that moment from her.”

Amber previously said that she believed Kanye was right in believing that Beyoncé deserved the award.
“I don’t want to say the wrong thing because I love Taylor Swift, she’s amazing,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
“Was he wrong for going on stage? Absolutely. Was he telling the truth? He was telling the truth – Beyoncé deserved that award but you can’t take it from somebody else.
“It wasn’t Taylor Swift’s fault.”
Kanye did apologise to Taylor after the incident, writing on his blog: “I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED!”
Tyla has reached out to Ye’s rep for comment.
