The tension between Christina Aguilera and Eminem in the 2000s
Kanye West's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) outburst occurred during the 2009 ceremony. The incident took place during the acceptance speech for the Best Female Video award, which was awarded to Taylor Swift for her song "You Belong with Me." As Swift began her acceptance speech, Kanye West, who was seated in the audience, suddenly stormed onto the stage, grabbed the microphone from Swift, and interrupted her speech. West asserted that Beyoncé's music video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was more deserving of the award, stating, "I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." The interruption stunned the audience and left Swift visibly shocked and embarrassed. The incident sparked immediate backlash and controversy, with many condemning West's actions as disrespectful and inappropriate. Swift was visibly shaken by the interruption, and the incident overshadowed her moment of celebration. Following the incident, West faced widespread criticism from fans, fellow artists, and the media. He later apologized to Swift publicly and privately, acknowledging that his actions were inappropriate and expressing regret for the impact they had on Swift.
@historyinmemes Dr. Dre says Eminem is the best emcee ever, and he doesn't think anyone that's rapping can touch Eminem on the microphone.

@historyinmemes The Gen Z will never know how good the 90s and early 2000 was. It’s a completely different ball game.

The feud between the pair dates back to 2000 after Aguilera appeared on the MTV special What a Girl Wants and commented on Eminem's personal life. The singer claimed that Eminem had secretly married Kim Scott and went on to say that some of his lyrics relating to violence were referencing her.
