John Legend is on Team Kanye West. With many coming down hard on Kanye for his behavior at the Grammy Awards – during which he pretended to crash Beck’s acceptance speech for Album of the Year, prior to saying the artist didn’t deserve it – Legend has come to his pal’s defense. “I thought it was funny,” Legend told Us Weekly of West’s brief appearance on stage. “I looked at it as just a funny thing that people were going to talk about.” They definitely are talking about it. Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson says Kanye needs to grow up and stop acting like a “twat” with all of his rants against singers he doesn’t adore. “It didn’t hurt anybody,” Legend added. “Anybody who’s upset just needs to relax. It was funny.” Legend is also quick to say that he respects Beck and doesn’t necessarily agree that Beck didn’t deserve his Grammy. “Beck won his award fair and square. Beck is super talented and I have several of his albums and I’ve listened to him for a long time. I think people were surprised that he won but that doesn’t mean he’s not deserving, that just means people thought other people were going to win too.” Beyonce, specifically. West reacted in shock and anger that Beyonce did not take home Album of the Year. For his part, Beck was okay wit Kanye’s actions. “I was just so excited he was coming up,” Beck said after the ceremony ended. “He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody… I still love him and think he’s genius. I aspire to do what he does.”  2015 Grammy Awards: Best GIFs! 1.
