"It was Kanye West&amp;apos;s time to get dissed at Sunday&amp;apos;s 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.\r\nWest closed out the VMAs with a much-anticipated performance -- a year after he notoriously bum-rushed the stage during Taylor Swift&amp;apos;s acceptance speech.\r\nAlthough it wasn&amp;apos;t audible on the show&amp;apos;s telecast, an insider at the Nokia Theater tells UsMagazine.com that &amp;quot;the audience began booing&amp;quot; soon after West&amp;apos;s performance began.\r\n\r\nShow runners quickly defused the situation by ushering a crowd of friendlier fans to drown out the boos with cheers. Indeed, by the end of the number, the crowd could be heard chanting &amp;quot;Kanye! Kanye! Kanye!&amp;quot;\r\nA miffed source close to the rapper told Us the nasty fans were &amp;quot;disgraceful!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nSinging new song &amp;quot;Runaway&amp;quot; at the show, West didn&amp;apos;t reference the infamous Swift incident by name, but seemed to nod toward his bad behavior.\r\n&amp;quot;Let&amp;apos;s have a toast for the douchebags,&amp;quot; he rapped. &amp;quot;Let&amp;apos;s have a toast for the scum bags. Every one of them I know.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nEarlier in the night, a forgiving Swift sang that West was &amp;quot;innocent&amp;quot; and sang &amp;quot;you are not what you did...Every one of us has messed up too...I hope you remember today&amp;apos;s never too late...to be friends with you.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
