Kanye West Apologizes to Beck and Bruno Mars
Yeezus is repenting. Kanye West has issued a public apology to Beck following his infamous Grammy incident.
‘Ye nearly crashed Beck’s acceptance speech after the musician won Album of the Year over Beyoncé. “Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé,” he told “E! News” in a post-show interview.
But apparently ‘Ye has had a change of heart and regrets his comments. “I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck,” he tweeted on Thursday.
I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck.

During his interview with “The Breakfast Club” earlier this month, he also admitted that he had not heard Beck’s album Morning Phase until after the Grammys.
“I was completely hypocritical,” said ‘Ye. “I went to dinner and sat down with Taylor Swift, and ironically, they were playing the Beck album. I was listening like, ‘Man, this is kinda good. I ain’t even gonna lie.'”
In addition to apologizing to Beck, Kanye also said sorry to Bruno Mars. “I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artist,” said ‘Ye, who previously collaborated with the “Uptown Funk” singer on “Lift Off” for Watch the Throne.
He even asked that Bruno sing the hook on a new song of his co-produced by 88-Keys and Puff Daddy, and invited Odd Future frontman Tyler, the Creator to direct the video. Tyler has had his own beef with Bruno in the past.
I also want to publicly apologize to Bruno Mars, I used to hate on him but I really respect what he does as an artist.

I also would love for Bruno to sing this hook on this song 88 Keys / Puff and I produced… I even asked Tyler to shoot the vid.
