Kanye West has claimed that the MTV Europe Music Awards, which took place in Liverpool on November 6, were fixed.

The rapper claimed that he only won the Ultimate Urban award over Lil Wayne because he was present at the bash – and suggested that he was undeserving of the prize.

West also questioned Britney Spears' win over Rihanna in the Act Of 2008 category.

"I won nothing last year and I'd brought out 'Stronger'," he told The Sun. "This year, just because I was there, I won. This was Lil Wayne's year.

"Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious?"

Rick Astley, who had a string of hits in the '80s, was surprisingly named Best Act Ever at the ceremony, pipping the likes of U2, Spears and Green Day to the gong.

Kanye is dead right. The awards were tho most embarrasing ceremony in the history of music awards (ok maybe exlude the Mick Fleetwood & Sam Fox Brits). Tokio who? 30 seconds to what?The presenters picked up 3 awards...They could have played up liverpool a hell of a lot but it was just empty soulless and even McCartneys award was an afterthought...

Fuck me! First he acts like a spoilt child when Justice vs Simian beat him to best video at the MTV Europe awards 2 years ago storming the stage like a proper tit. Now he is whining because he WON an award! Kanye wake up and realise your shit. Your biggest hit was just you rambling on over a Daft Punk song you utter tool.

For those who can't shut up when they know nothing about, Kanye apologized with Jared Leto, 'cause he spoke without having seen the video. Once he realized that is a well shot one and it launches an important message, he apologized. 30 Seconds to Mars rock could not fill everybody's tastes, but for sure it brings an important message, not like 99% of the bands which care nothing about the world and its problems.
