Eminem has said Kanye West went to far when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards last year.

West stole the microphone from Swift and claimed that Beyonce should have won the Best Female Video award instead.

His outburst led to a huge backlash from across the music world, as well as US president Barack Obama, who called the rapper a “jackass”.

In an interview with Spin magazine, Eminem said: "He shouldn't have done that, man. I mean, she's a little girl."

The rapper also refers to West’s outburst on the song ‘No Love’, which features on his new album ‘Recovery’.

West is currently recording the follow-up to his 2008 album '808s & Heartbreak'.
