Oh Kanye...

Kanye West has been on one this month, yes? While the rapper has been known for his antics, he decided that Black History Month would be the perfect time to show his ass. He kicked off the month with a seemingly calm return to the GRAMMYs stage, even staging a seemingly funny interruption when Beck landed an Album of the Year upset. But after the ceremony, he told E! News that "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé." Then, during New York Fashion Week, he debuted his shambolic fashion collaboration with Adidas, which could be best described as Mad Max meets Blade Runner meets WTF. Next up, he took the stage at SNL40 to perform a medley of "Jesus Walks," "Only One" and new song "Wolves" while laying on the stage and wearing sky blue contact lenses (we don't know either). The cherry on top, though, was an interview with The Breakfast Club in which he shaded the f**k out of ex Amber Rose while caping for his new Kardashian kin, but more on that later.

But this month wasn't all Ye behaving badly. This year's BET Honors saw him receive the Visionary Award, in which he gave a kind of moving (but mostly convoluted) speech about modern race relations. He also showed that he can be the bigger man on Thursday when he offered a Twitter apology to Beck (and, inexplicably, Bruno Mars). This week, he also took to the stage at the BRIT Awards and showed that he still had some of that Yeezy fire with the hard-hitting, head-nodding "All Day." Looks like Yeezy season is just getting started. -- D-Money
