“I would like to apologise; for the negative energy I’ve had this year,” he wrote. “I was acting irresponsibly before, and thats not what I am about.
“When I get frustrated at one thing or person. Sometimes, I act out in a way that isn’t right. Even if i feel and know that i am in the right. Im sorry for projecting that energy onto my fans that i love.”

He continued: “I’ve refocused & i have been nonstop working on my album for you & i hope you all love it. & Even if you don’t, I’m happy knowing that my fans understand I put real work into everything. And just to be clear, I am apologizing to my fans and no one else.”

The behavior JPEGMAFIA seemed to be pointing to is related to the beef he’s had with the likes of Kanye West and Freddie Gibbs in recent months.
At the top of the year, JPEGMAFIA called out Kanye West for apparently overlooking him while taking shots at Freddie Gibbs in the process.

In a since-deleted rant posted on X on January 14, Peggy vented about the Chicago rap icon “skipping over” him in favor of working with other artists he feels are less deserving.
“Also Kanye West i respect u but the way u acknowledge n-ggas who have less to offer u than me makes me feel a way,” he wrote. “Im a scientist in the lab a surgeon bruh u and u skip over me for n-ggas thats getting they baby mommas fucked on camera. I wanna make money fuck these n-ggas.”
In a follow-up post, JPEGMAFIA threw shade at Ye’s song with Ty Dolla $ign “Everybody,” which samples the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 hit of the same name.
“U got 27 n-ggas tweaking hi hats just to make some mid. Talk to a real scientist brother stop wasting time. This n-gga got 80 n-ggas in a room and make a backstreet boys song,” he wrote.

He concluded: “And if u got a problem with me saying that about your baby momma do something about it im in la and i dont run from no one.”
