Kanye West Apologizes to Kim Kardashian: "I Take Accountability"

After all the viral chaos he caused throughout the past few days, it seems like Kanye West is apologizing to Kim Kardashian for his antics.
In an Instagram post uploaded Tuesday, February 15, Ye explains that he's taking accountability for everything he's said and posted this past week. The concise apology is written in a normal format versus the all-caps he had been previously using, which he believes made him sound like he was yelling in all his posts.
"I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them," Ye wrote. "I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener."
The apology comes after Ye posted a number of problematic posts that not only took shots at his ex-wive Kim but also her new boyfriend Pete Davidson. The rapper-producer has made fun of Davidson's Hillary Clinton tattoo and warned the world that the Saturday Night Live actor would never meet his children. One post in particular featured a screenshot of a scene from Baby Boy where actor Ving Rhames has Tyrese in a chokehold. The caption he wrote, in which Ye commanded his followers not to do anything to "Skete" so that he can "handle it himself," appeared to be a blatant threat on Davidson's life.
In the mix of his transgressive posts, Ye made public pleas to his ex-wife to reunite their family on several occasions since the couple split last year. He also made a habit of sharing his text message conversations with Kim on the 'Gram, especially after he cut ties with his rebound girlfriend Julia Fox.
Fortunately, Ye has removed all the controversial posts from his Instagram page and only left up his plea for his family back. Although his fight to win back his family may be ongoing, the G.O.O.D. Music founder's manic addiction to creating disparaging posts about his ex-wife's personal life may finally come to an end.
