More and more celebrities are speaking out publicly about Kanye West’s shine-stealing moment at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards. Here’s what they had to say about the rapper interrupting Taylor Swift’s speech while accepting the Best Female Video award:

Joe Jackson said:

“I don’t know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl’s hand. They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad. I had just gotten through speaking to him, he was introducing me to his girlfriend, and then three minutes later he jumped up on stage. And people booed Kanye all night.”

Ricky Martin tweeted:

“kanye what an asshole dude.”

“@taylorswift13 has sold more than 10 million cds in the last 2 years u deserve the award 10 million fans cant be wrong. enjoy ur night!”

John Mayer tweeted:

“Big love to my girl @taylorswift13. A class act.

Donald Trump said:

Trump called Kanye’s antics “disgusting,” telling TMZ he wants to boycott all things Kanye “so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.” He continued, “[Kanye] couldn’t care less about Beyonce. It was grandstanding to get attention.”

P!nk tweeted:

“Kanye west is the biggest piece of shit on earth. Quote me.”

“My heart goes out to taylor swift. She is a sweet and talented girl and deserved her moment. She should know we all love her.”

“Beyonce is a classy lady. I feel for her, too. Its not her fault at all, and her and taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA”

And this morning she appeared live on the “Today Show,” saying that she doesn’t think Kanye would’ve ever attempted to upstage her had she been the one to win the award, but if he did, she would’ve been prepared with brass knuckles. Watch below:
