September 14 will mark the one-year anniversary of Kanye West‘s interruption of Taylor Swift during her award acceptance at the Video Music Awards.
After some apparent self-reflection, Kanye has gone into confessional mode, using Twitter as his booth.
Ove a two-hour period today, Kanye unleashed about 100 Tweets about how the media try to “demonize” him. As for the regular foks, Kanye Tweets: “People tweeted that they wish I was dead… No listen. They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that.” As for himself, Kanye Tweets: “If you Google Asshole my face may very well pop up two pages into the search.”
And then, Kanye proceeded to Tweet about Taylor Swift: “I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that’s so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her.” (Side note: I reported recently that although he has near a million followers, Kanye only follows Justin Bieber on Twitter; well, Kanye now follows two people: Justin and Taylor.)
Kanye moves on to speak about having to grow up: “When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE … I take the responsibility for my actions … I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don’t always need my help … Beyonce didn’t need that. MTV didn’t need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn’t want or need that.”
Kanye ends his Twitter rant simply with “I’m sorry Taylor.” That was six hours ago. We have not heard a Tweet out of Kanye since.
Here are screen shots of the entire rant! Start with last one and work your way up!
