to pull a kanye is to rudely interupt someone
esp. when by doing so you take the moment away from them or
steal the limelight
this is derived from MTV's VMAs 2009 when Kanye West famously got on stage during
Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for 'best female artist video' and took
the microphone from her stating that Beyonce instead deserved the award.
Example:
Paul: yo did you see that dude pull a kanye last night?
Steve: yeah he really ruined the night for that
little girl
I was at a really boring awards
ceremony last night and almost couldn't resist getting
onstage to pull a kanye

This occurs when one person, in an epic show of
douchebaggery,
shifts the attention from what should be one person's unforgettable
life moment to their own undeserving ass.
Example:
New mom to her husband: It's a boy!
Situational Kanye: Hey, no offense to y'all, I let y'all finish giving birth and ay'thing, but y'all shoulda had a girl. Girls are so much better,
no disrespect, but they deserve to get born more than any other gender.
Husband: Stop
pulling a Kanye and hand me my child back!

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.
Example:
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
