Rap-Up.com || Kanye West Tweets Apology to Taylor Swift

It’s been a year since Kanye West crashed the stage during Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, and the rapper has taken to Twitter to apologize for his actions.

In a lengthy series of tweets, West described the scrutiny and hardships he had to endure because of the incident, but also issued an apology to Swift. “It starts with this… I’m sorry Taylor,” he wrote. “She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She’s justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us.”

Kanye additionally revealed that he penned a song for the 20-year-old country singer and hopes she will accept it. “I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that’s so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her.”

As a sign of his sincerity, he also started following Swift on the social-networking service, making her the second person he follows after teen pop star Justin Bieber.

Kanye said he felt the fallout from the highly-publicized episode, forcing him to cancel his joint tour with Lady Gaga and shut down operations of his clothing line Pastelle. “How deep is the scar… I bled hard.. cancelled tour with the number one pop star in the world … closed the doors of my clothing office,” he candidly disclosed.

While he vowed to never grab the mic again “in a million years,” he did feel compelled to stand up for another one of his peers. “I watched Justin Timberlake at the Grammies loose every televised award including album of the year which the Dixie Chicks won,” he tweeted. “I would have ran on stage for Justin that night because Sexy Back (in my mind) was that important… that impactful to our culture.”

Mr. West is scheduled to perform at this year’s VMAs, airing live on Sept. 12 at 9 p.m. EST. Host Chelsea Handler is hoping to reunite the music stars onstage. “I’d like to get them together, because we’ve never really seen them together since then,” said the comedienne. “We’ll try to think of something clever to do with them because that would be really fun.”

Fuck his apology! I don’t want that shit, Taylor Swift deserved that award because her real fans voted for her. Just like his fans voted for him in the past. He had NO right and I hope this haunts him for LIFE! I hope every album flops because that was beyond wrong. Who trys to discredit an artists who works hard as u do to get success. I don’t want him to ever see success, maybe now his ass will get off the ground and worship God because his is creator of all things not the devil and illuminati. Beyonce could give zero fucks about his career and his just destroyed it for her fake ass. I hope Beyonce flops too.
Britney Spears & Taylor Swift/Lady GaGa >>>>> Music Industry as a whole!

this is exactly what he is talking about. The man said he was sorry a billion times if you read the whole thing you would understand that it was heavy on his heart. Its not for album sales because his album will sell its because he just wanted to say how he felt. Kanye your true fans support you and know were your heart is at. Just keep doing you and forget about your opposition they will always feel that way and deep down they always have

I am NOT a hater!! what Kanye did was not like Flop Maurice Brown beating up Rihanna!! the gravity of these 2 actions can’t even be compared! Flop Brown for example, DESERVES to be a Flop for the rest of his days! as long as Kanye gives us good music people will forget, but until now, I’ve haven’t heard anything good…
also, the supposed title of his album “Dark Twisted Fantasy” really??? that doesn’t help for a comeback either.

What happened to “we can forgive, but we’ll never forget”? He’s human, he was drunk, you “nay-sayers” need to stop acting like you’re anywhere above his level or, for this fact, Taylor’s level. Maybe this will still be a “SMH” moment years later, but it shouldn’t matter. What’s done is done, we can’t change the past no matter how bad we want to, and he’ll regret it, but it shouldn’t be a reason for Taylor fans or Kanye haters to act like God and pass judgement on his career like it will be written in stone.

I love hypocrites. They amuse me with their statements because I know if they were in any of these celebrities shoes then they would want people to forgive them. It’s a difference between a one time action and a repeated offense and I’m referring to the Chris Brown situation. Please jump off because just like the Kanye West incident with Taylor that shit happened a long time ago. People don’t have anything else to do with their lives. Find another job preferably one that pays instead of hating for free. If you’re going to hate get paid for it. :) STAY MAD!

@Jayden & @Ankka are both idiots lol! These ppl wishing all these bad things on him are judgmental a-holes, cause if they were drunk and f*cked something up, they would want forgiveness too. Yall acting like her raped her or something, he coming back strong with the music, and how could ALL THAT he wrote on twitter just now be insincere, you can’t be the judge of that! Even if I wasn’t a big fan of his, I would hope he did Eminem numbers the first week just to piss yall off!

life should have a camera that follows us around watching every move capturing our mistakes we make on a daily basis then maybe we wouldnt be so quick to judge when the tables are turned and we are watched by the world. I bet most would kill themselves out of weakness. Smh its so easy to judge when its not you and you have the cloak of a fake blog name and pic to hide behind. Its so easy to love and so hard to hate….

I’m on the fence about this. On one hand, everyone makes mistakes and he, like all others, deserves to be forgiven. On the other hand, I can’t tell if he is truly sorry or if he is sorry b/c his career is not where it was post the MTV Awards and him making a total fool of himself – AGAIN!! It’s not like this was the 1st time. He did it to someone else at the MTV European Awards the year before. I saw it on You Tube…Timbaland was presenting and this European band won Best Video of the Year and Kanye jumped on stage & said he should’ve won it. He totally ruined the winning band’s moment. Kanye says he is done with his ego trips but I think he is only done with it (for now) b/c he is suffering big time for it. For the first time, America/the world really put him in his place. He should’ve known not to f*ck with a little pop princess….white people won’t go for that!!!….now, he sees it. America is more racist than EVER!! You can’t mess with the great white hope and get away with it. Sorry Kanye….you did it to the wrong girl!

I love Kanye, but I wish he would stop talking about this and move on. He already apologized. And bringing this issue up just brings out racism in some people. Keep it movin Ye.

@ Ankka and jayden, first of all, find a new word, “Flop” is so old, is that the only word yall know to hate with? Second, CB don’t have anything to do with this, and third, yall was born to hate, which means you have no purpose in life. Kanye, did a good thing by apologizing, he owned up to what he did, good for him. If anything is flopping around here, it’s yall’s pityful lives, you can tell when people ain’t got shit going for them, they hate on any and everybody to pass time.
