He was right, of course -- Beyonce was, is, and always will be better than Taylor Swift. But still. His delivery was cringeriffic, and the backlash merciless. Such is the tortured life of a prophet, as Kanye well knows. So how did he get over his global humiliation? You'd be surprised. Wait, no, you wouldn't be, come to think of it. Kanye's reported 2009 Taylor Swift Interruptus Recovery Plan was 100 percent Kanye West.
He told Interview magazine he turned to "God, sex, and alcohol" to overcome his great trial, "a lot of sex." I wonder if God is surprised to hear this. Is he confused about the three components of the godhead? Or is this Kanye's godhead? It sounds like of the three, he relied upon sex the most. And that makes sense because sex is definitely the most fun of the three. But if I were to make a pie chart of Kanye's coping mechanisms, it might look like this.
