Manson wrote on her Facebook page Monday that the rapper's outburst about Beck winning album of the year has made West "look small and petty and spoilt."
"In attempting to reduce the importance of one great talent over another, you make a mockery of all musicians and music from every genre, including your own," Manson wrote in an open letter to West. "Grow up and stop throwing your toys around. You are making yourself look like a complete (expletive)."
West felt Beyonce should have won the award for her self-titled album "Beyonce." He approached the podium as Beck accepted his award for "Morning Phase," but turned around without making comment.
Later West ranted, "When you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in the face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration and we, as musicians, have to inspire people who go to work every day and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place."

"It is YOU who is so busy disrespecting artistry," she wrote. "You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like BECK".
Manson ended the post by pointing out that Beyonce did not need West's intervention.
"Ps. I am pretty certain Beyonce doesn't need you fighting any battles on her account," wrote Manson. "Seems like she's got everything covered perfectly well on her own."
