KANYE WEST CLARIFIES HIS COMMENTS ABOUT BECK

NEW YORK (AP) _ Kanye West admits he misspoke when he took aim at Beck winning the album of the year Grammy instead of Beyonce‘. West tells “On Air With Ryan Seacrest” he didn’t mean any disrespect when he said Beck should be “respecting artistry.” He acknowledges it was “a miswording” on his part. West says he was upset that Beck did not mention other nominees as worthy of winning during his speech. He calls Beck one of the nicest guys and most respected musicians, but West doesn’t have much respect for the Grammys. West says his jumping on stage with Beck was “kind of a joke, like the Grammys themselves.” He says the Grammys are “like a broke clock. They’re right only, like, twice a day.”
