VIDEO: Whoopi Goldberg to Kanye West: 'Everybody On That Stage Was a Real Artist'

Kanye West disrupted this year's GRAMMY AWARDS on Sunday, saying he believed that Beck should give his Album of the Year Grammy to Beyoncé and later told reporters that the singer-songwriter should "respect artistry"

On yesterday's THE VIEW on ABC, host Whoopi Goldberg had some strong words for the rapper.

"As an artist, Kanye, you know what it's like when somebody questions your artistry," Goldberg said. "Now, I don't know if you listened to Beck's album, but it was pretty damn good. And Beyoncé collecting three Grammys [in other categories] and I think it's kind of rough to say 'real artists' like he's not a real artist."

"Everybody on that stage was a real artist, honey," she added. Watch the clip below!
