Kanye West apologises to Taylor Swift on Jay Leno

He’s eating his words now.

Following widespread condemnation by celebrities and the general population alike for his impromptu rant at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Kanye West has issued not one, but three apologies to Taylor Swift via his blog and now the Jay Leno show.

The 32-year-old rapper was booked on the chat-show along with Jay-Z and Rihanna to perform their current single ‘Run This Town’ but asked if he could say a few words beforehand.

On the verge of tears, West struggled to keep his composure when Jay asked what his mother, who died two years ago, would have thought about his behaviour, he said: “My hurt caused someone else’s hurt. After this, I need to take time off and work out how I’m going to deal with this for the rest of  my life.”
