I for one say: It’s time to cut Kanye West some slack. He is on a mission lately to make amends for the whole Tayler Swift incidence at last year’s VMA’s and I think we should listen.

Kanye opened up again to XXL magazine about the incident with Taylor Swift and why he had to go into hiding after the VMA’s.

ABOUT THE INCIDENT:
“I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally. And it definitely wasn’t about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV. The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend. How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

ABOUT GOING INTO HIDING:
“I knew I wasn’t in a great spot publicly after the incident, but I would just block it out and work as hard as possible and let my work be my saving grace. In a way, I had thrown a Molotov cocktail at my own career, and it gave me an opportunity, for the first time, to go away and find out who I was. Because I felt very alone.”
