Kanye West Apologizes to Taylor Swift Once Again For VMA Incident

By Alexis Sezar on September 4, 2010

Kanye West, Taylor Swift, VMAs, Video Music Awards, MTV, 2009, mic, pictures, picture, photos, photo, pics, pic, images, image, hot, sexy, latest, new, 2010HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — One year after he famously stole the microphone and cut off Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs, Kanye West has issued another apology to the country star.

The hip-hop star took to Twitter on Saturday to reflect back on the incident and ask Swift -  and his fans - for forgiveness.

"Who benefited for real people? A year later where do we stand?" asked West. "There's a layer of... hey Kanye said what I was thinking. There's a layer of... Entertainment... we are entertainers and this is only TV... not the War. Why was it made into such a race issue. Taylor loves rap music... I love country music. TAYLOR LOVES RAP MUSIC... I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC. When I right songs like 'Heartless' I always say 'is this melody good enough to be a country song or a broadway song?' "

"I've hurt, I've bled, I've learned," he continued. "I only want to do good. I am passionate I am human I am real. I wish I could meet every hater. I wish I could talk to every hater face to face and change there a opinion of me one conversation at a time. I wish they all knew how much I really cared about music and pop culture and art and peoples feelings. I wish they could accept that I've grown and only want to do good for the world. I want to help as many people as I can. I want to help starting with the music and ending with the smile. I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion."

"It starts with this...I'm sorry Taylor," the 33-year-old star ended.

West began his Twitter apology by talking at length about the incident's impact on his life.

"With the help of strong will, a lack of impathy, a lil alcohol and extremely distasteful & bad timing ... I became George Bush over night," he said. "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. Had to let employees go... for the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions ... I felt the recession from an ownership side. People booed when I would go to concerts and the performer mentioned my name."

West also said he had a special gift for Swift.

"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it," he said. "If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her."

West and Swift will meet again soon enough. They will both be on hand for this year's MTV Video Music Awards, taking place Sept. 12 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
