Says MTV exploited her...
Kanye West is blaming MTV for the Britney Spears disaster at the VMAs on Sunday night, saying the network knew she wasn't ready to return but put her on anyway for ratings.
"Man, they were trying to get ratings. They knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her. They exploited her, they played me and I really don't mess with MTV."
Whatever MTV's thought process was, it turned out to be a success. The show drew 7.1 million viewers, up 23% from last year.
Meanwhile, Kanye West has vowed to boycott MTV. His anger stems from not winning any of the five MTV Awards he was nominated for this year.
