John Legend Sets The Record Straight On Kanye West's 2015 Grammys Interruption [DETAILS]

After Kanye West once again ranted about how Beyonce should've won Album of the Year during Sunday's 57th Annual Grammy Awards, John Legend seems to be a target after he said his friend was only playing around.

"I thought it was funny," Legend said, after West took the stage just like he did when Taylor Swift won back in 2009. "I looked at it as just a funny thing that people were going to talk about."

Kanye didn't take the mic when Beck won, but he had a lot to say backstage after the Grammys.

"Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé," West told the reporters of E!'s After Party .

He added, "We as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day...and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place."

Legend said, "It didn't hurt anybody." Chrissy Teigen's husband added,  "Anybody who's upset just needs to relax. It was funny."

Now it seems Legend has to set the record straight on just what he meant by his comments.

"I want to clarify my thoughts on Kanye's actions at the Grammys on Sunday. First of all, Kanye is my friend. He believed in me years ago when very few did, and I wouldn't be here without his support. That doesn't mean we'll agree on everything, but it does mean that I am grateful to him. And I also believe he is one of the most gifted people I've had the privilege of working with," the "Glory" singer wrote on Instagram.

"In my comments to US Weekly, I said that when Kanye walked up on stage, mimicking his interruption of Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech, then turned around as if he was just playing, most of the room including me saw this as funny, as a way of taking the piss out of himself for his infamous behavior several years ago," he continues.

Legend seems to stand up for Beck as well calling him a "true artist's artist."

"When I said that was funny and people should lighten up about it, that's what I meant. I wasn't referring to Kanye's comments after the show which I have now seen and heard. I disagree with those comments. Beck is indeed a true artist's artist. He's a multi-instrumentalist, a creative and unique singer-songwriter whose music I have bought and enjoyed over the years," he explained. "While his win may have been a surprise to many, it's not because he's a great artist deserving of recognition. All of the other nominated artists, including Beyonce, are incredible in their own right, and arguments could be made for any of them deserving to win. This is not an objective process. It's completely subjective, in fact. We can all debate who we thought should have won. But even if you didn't vote for him, plenty of our colleagues in the music business did. These voters are all creators who love music and have dedicated their lives to it, and the plurality of them chose Beck as the Album of the Year. I respect their decision and congratulate Beck on this outstanding accomplishment."
