pulling a kanye

Stopping a well-deserving person in the middle of an important event to point out that another person was better, only to make everyone else feel bad and having yourself reduced to the biggest douchebag on the planet.

Man, I don't understand why that guy had to jump on the stage in the middle of that girl's speech and bash her by making that other person look better. He was seriously pulling a kanye
