In 2009 Kayne West infamously interrupted Taylor Swift in the VMA award show by saying that Beyonce had one of the best music videos ever. It is a being theorized now that he did this in order to save her from Diddy, as Diddy has allegedly killed or at least tried to kill multiple other celebrities that were in competition with Beyonce at the time.

This is a conspiracy theory that has no real information to back it up. There isn't any evidence to support this claim and Beyonce and Taylor Swift have been shown to have a strong relationship over the years, such as both of them supporting each other's tours. Kayne West and Taylor Swift have also both shown great animosity towards one another over the years, including, but not limited to his song Famous and her album Reputation. Although there technically are not sources that directly disprove this claim either it is most likely because it is an internet joke that ran wild and became a conspiracy.
