Beck responds to Kanye West Grammy jibe: 'I still love him'

Beck has brushed off Kanye West's controversial comments about his Grammy win.

The US musician reigned supreme in the coveted Album of the Year category at last night's (February 8) ceremony with 'Morning Phase'.

Rapper West walked on stage after the announcement in a move similar to his 2009 VMA interruption during a Taylor Swift speech.

He later told E! that Beck should give his Grammy to Beyoncé, calling him "disrespectful to inspiration".

Speaking to US Weekly, the Grammy winner responded:

"You can't please everybody, man. I still love him and think he's genius. I aspire to do what he does."

Referring to West's stage invasion, Beck said: "I was just so excited he was coming up.

"He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody...How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?"
