Grammy winner Beck has no hard feelings toward Kanye West who almost highjacked his acceptance speech for Album of The Year Sunday and said backstage the award should have gone to Beyonce.
While speaking to Us Weekly about the incident -- West got up on stage when Beck was announced as the winner -- Beck said the rapper had a right to be onstage.
"I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck said. "How many great records has he put out in the last five years right?"
When asked if he stood by his comments even though West was quoted as saying: "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce," the singer stood corrected.
"Absolutely," he said. "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyonce!"
In addition to winning the top prize of the night for his twelfth studio album, Morning Phase, the 44-year-old singer also won the Best Rock Album award and performed alongside Coldplay's front man Chris Martin.
West, famous for his rants against the entertainment industry, pulled a similar stunt in 2009 when he interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs.
