Kanye West has apologized to Beck.
“I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck,” the Chicago rapper-producer wrote on Twitter today (February 26).
Kanye West suggested February 8 that Beck “should have given his award to Beyoncé” following the Grammy Awards that day.
West also apologized to Bruno Mars on Twitter today.
“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,”West wrote. “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.”
In November, West discussed Bruno Mars at the Yeezus tour stop in Brooklyn, New York.
West addressed the crowd and recalled a phone call he received from Rick Rubin encouraging him to leave MTV’s Video Music Awards after he performed. He also discussed Bruno winning a majority of the awards at the program and stated that recognition in the streets trumps any award an artist can receive from a network.
“When I went to the MTV Awards, Rick Rubin hit me, he said ‘Are you performing at the MTV Awards,’” Kanye at the time. “I said ‘Yeah.’ He said ‘Look man, just do your mothafuckin song and leave. Just do your song and leave. Just do your song and leave.’ Cause sure enough I’m sitting down trying, I’m trying to enjoy mothafuckas performing and shit…And then they start giving out awards and shit. And Bruno Mars win all the mothafuckin awards and shit. You know, I was just thinking about what Rick Rubin told me cause I don’t give a fuck about no TV show. But what I care about is if you an artist and you work hard as fuck and the streets say that you deserve that shit then can’t no mothafuckin networks try to gas everybody up. So, they can sell some [product] with the prettiest mothafucka out.”

Damn nigga it only took you 2 fucking weeks. You still ruined his moment and made it all about yourself you self centered asshole.
Kanye West is the worst at doing a promotional cycle.
Does anyone care what Kanye yells out? He always does this shit for attention. He knows how to stay in the spotlight, whether it’s for his music or not. Afterall, his wife does that as her career.
Of course they were gonna tell you to leave, you pulled that Taylor stunt before! They were probably afraid that you’d do it again last year if one of your homies didn’t the MTV award.
It was an obvious publicity stunt to get attention for his overpriced moccasins and pathetic attempt at fashion. He’s not much different from Kim and her family. TMZ got a script for the family show that says Pimp Jenner is going to throw a rock threw Kim and Kanyes window for stealing her dinner ware or something.
I can’t wait until someone runs up on Kanye or Kim when they’re getting an award (not like Kim will ever get a real award). You know he wouldn’t have pulled that shit on someone like Eminem or Nickelback.
About time he put it right for Beck although unlike Kanye, Beck is happy to let his records rather than his mouth stand for him and it actually made me go back and listen to some of his prolific and crucial output across every conceivable style. Beck’s a real hero not only for his achievements but for taking it all on the chin.
Bruno, please do not do a song with this asshole. You should do one with Taylor Swift and Beck before you fuck with this clown.
The whole thing was stupid, Beck is a really great guy who has a ton of talent. The guy plays 14 instruments, makes his own albums over many years. He’s pure class, Kanye is purely an ass.
