  • Maggie from Houston, TxI think this song is very obviously about Amber Rose if you listen to any of her interviews about their break up.
  • Audioinklined from Sunnyvale, CaThe song is clearly left open to speculation. It is no coincidence that Kanye released this shortly after the "fiasco"..
    However, to chalk it up to strictly being some type of apology for what occurred at the show the previous year would be inaccurate.
  • Fabio from New Orleans, LaI'm curious. Is this what was written about the fiasco in 2009 at the VMAs? I know Taylor Swift's performance was, but I can't tell if this is. Beyonce is sure not a douche bag, so I don't see it entirely.
