Los Angeles, Feb 3 (NationPress) Rapper Kanye West, who previously ignited controversy with a sexually explicit remark regarding the former Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, has now extended an apology to her.
Previously, the rapper made an inappropriate comment about Kamala on social media in a message that has since been deleted on X, referring to her defeat against Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, according to reports from ‘Female First UK’.
He had posted, in a now-deleted message on X, “I used to want to f* Kamala until she lost. I don’t f* losers anymore.”
As reported by ‘Female First UK’, Kanye followed up with another post stating, “The democrats made me take the loser post down. Naw I’m kidding. They don’t control black people no more. Trump 4 life (sic).”
Following this, he apologized to the former presidential nominee, writing, “Kamala seems like a very nice human, I just wanna say sorry to her kids.”
The 24-time Grammy winner, who has faced bans from X for posting anti-Semitic content in the past, went on to proclaim, “The world is so lucky to have me.”
He further stated, “Trump’s back in office. Ye’s back a billionaire. The world might just be ok.”
The rapper, who is currently married to model Bianca Censori after having four children with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, also joked about possibly being a “clone,” adding that he was merely “warming up” and was “rich” enough to “say whatever the f*” he desired. Kanye also reshared a post indicating that Taylor Swift was the only person he followed on Instagram, rekindling tensions from the 2009 MTV VMAs when he interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech, claiming that Beyonce should have won instead.
He famously stated at that time, “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’mma let you finish. But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time.”
The feud intensified in 2016 when West released the song ‘Famous’, where he rapped about Taylor, “I might have sex with her” and “I made that b** famous.” His then-wife Kim later asserted that West had received the singer’s “approval” for these lyrics.
