A year after infamously interrupting Taylor Swift on stage, Kanye West is set to return to the MTV Video Music Awards, UsMagazine.com has learned.

A source tells Us West, 33, is performing on the show, airing Sept. 12. (A rep for the rapper and MTV had no comment.)

The Grammy-winning rapper's untitled fifth studio album is expected to drop this fall. He debuted a video "painting" for the first single, "Power," on MTV last Thursday, and a follow-up single is also expected to be released in the next few weeks.

    This guy is an azz and should NOT be at the awards at all. He should be ashamed of himself from last year. I still cringe when I watch the video of him standing up there mouthing off. Get some manners, what a Dick head.
