Washington [US], April 12 (ANI): Kanye West has apologised to Jay-Z for his controversial remarks about the rapper’s children.
The apology comes after a series of X posts that offended many, including the Carter family.
As per E! News, West took to his social media to express regret for a previous tweet in which he questioned the mental capacity of Jay-Z and Beyonce’s young children, Rumi and Sir Carter, aged 7.
The apology was notably directed at his longtime friend and collaborator, Jay-Z.
“I’m sorry Jay Z,” West wrote in a post shortly after midnight, adding “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real s–t none of these rap n—-s had my back,” as quoted by E! News.
The apology follows a controversial tweet from March 2023, which West has since deleted, that raised eyebrows for questioning the intelligence of Beyonce and Jay-Z’s 7-year-old twins.
The remarks sparked a swift response from Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, who subtly clapped back in a video posted to Instagram, where she shared a playful joke, hinting at the absurdity of the situation.
Tina Knowles, 71, while on the set of a photoshoot for her book, addressed the incident with a lighthearted comment, saying, “Want to hear it? Here it goes. What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown.” She added with a grin, “Y’all know that’s funny.”
Meanwhile, Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles, took a more direct approach. In an interview with TMZ, as quoted by E! News, he expressed his frustration and said, “People pay a price for being stupid,” and emphasized the importance of mental health support for Kanye.
“I’m hopeful Kanye gets the type of help he needs,” he added, as per E! News.
West’s apology to the Carter family marks yet another chapter in a string of controversies surrounding the rapper.
Kanye has been known for his outspoken views and often polarizing statements on social media.
West recently reignited his long-running feud with pop star Taylor Swift, blaming her for his exclusion from performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
As per E! News, in the deleted tweet, West elaborated on his grievances, writing, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments… George Bush don’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat.”
West went on to claim that his exclusion from major opportunities was a result of his “ahead of my time” mindset, further explaining, “How it feel to be the best living and blocked from the main stage because of being ahead of my time.” (ANI)
