Kanye West is now revealing that he didn't have any plans to go on stage and interrupt Beck's Album of the Year Grammy award speech, Kanye claims he was told to jump up there by "the voices in his head." He's also planning a collaboration with Taylor Swift.

"Right when that happened, everybody was looking at me and then people started screaming, 'Kanye! Kanye! Go do it!' OK, that didn't really happen," the Only One rapper said to Ryan Seacreast during an interview earlier this week.

"These were voices in my head. So the voices in my head told me go and then I just walked up like halfway up the stage," he said.

If you can remember, back in 2009 Kanye interrupted Taylor's Best Video award during the VMAs, and on Sunday, Feb. 8, it was about to be the same thing with Beck, until Kanye quickly left the stage.

Everyone was in shock when Kanye was about to pull the stunt for a second time, including his pal Jay Z:


Kanye West continued: “What I really wanted to do [was] just joke around about what had happened before, but I just really didn't want to take away from Beck's moment or the time he's having to talk."

“The Grammys, they play music really quick no matter who you are and everything. So I didn't want anything to take away from his screen time," Kim Kardashian's husband added.

So what was the rant with the E! After Party all about? Remember West said, "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé."

Kanye continued, "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."

No one told him to say that, did they?

Now Kanye claims he and Swift are teaming up to collaborate on some new music. Will he do the same with Beck after pulling the same stunt on stage?

On Swift, Kanye said, "She wants to get in the studio and we're definitely going to go in. Any artist with an amazing point of view, perspective, fan base, I'm down to get in the studio and work."
