Jay-Z has defended Kanye West's behaviour at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The Love Lockdown star has come under fire for storming the stage when Taylor Swift was accepting her Best Female Video prize, but his mentor insists the incident has been blown out of proportion.
Jay-Z says West is like his little brother.
"He's just a super-passionate person. Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that's what he believed. I think it's been blown out of proportion, he didn't kill anybody, no one got harmed.
Jay-Z says everyone should just "move on."
"At the end of the day, we'll celebrate him for his passion rather than vilify him, because the thing which causes him to make great records is what also makes him step out of line."
Jay-Z also revealed this isn't the first time he has had to ask West to keep his passion in check.
He has told Britain's Radio 1 West would jump on the table when we were recording the first Blueprint album.
"If he had changed since his first record, it would be different but he's always been like that."
