The singer, who was nominated in the Album of the Year category alongside West, teased the rapper about the fact he was handed a gong by the former Beatle Ringo Starr.
Gill said: "I just got an award given to me by a Beatle. Have you had that happen yet, Kanye?"
However, Gill revealed afterwards that West had found the comment amusing and that it was meant in "fun".
Speaking backstage at the ceremony, he said: "I'm a smartass. You know, I can't help it.
"He [Kanye West] seemed to think that he and Amy [Winehouse] were the only ones worthy of the Album of the Year tonight. And I was just having some fun. He laughed, so it was all in good spirit."
