Singer Beck, who was almost interrupted by Kanye West, while receiving his Grammy award in best album category, says he has tried not to be affected by the rapper's infamous stage antic.
West scared the singer and the audience at the 57th Grammys, when he pretended to interrupt his acceptance speech, reported Variety.
"You know. I don't know. I think the whole thing is... it's just one of those things that plays out, like a top that spins. I really just try and not to take it personally," Beck said.
Beck seemingly still respects West as an artist, adding, "There are so many musicians who I admire and look up to and get inspired by and just when I think all the good songs that have been written already, and (then) someone goes and does something - and Kanye has done that many times.
