We mentioned a few days ago about the recent outburst that Kanye West made at the VMA 2009. Last night the rapper took time out to talk to chat show host, Jay Leno about the incident and to apologize to Taylor Swift. He said Swift was “a talented artist,” and that it was “someone’s emotions I stepped on — it was rude.”
It is often hard to tell if Kanye is being sincere or if this is just an act to try to gain public support. He came on the show looking very humble, not his usual self one might say. EW.com reports that when Jay Leno asked Kanye West about what his mother would have thought about his outburst at VMA, he just went quiet and seemed to have been moved by the question.
It took Kanye a while to try to answer the question; he finally managed to say, “I’m ashamed.” He then added, “I need to take some time off and evaluate the future.” EW.com has made a great point about the answer to that question; he is probably talking about his music career. A number of music stars have already been reacting to his outburst.
Watch the interview below and let us know if you think that Kanye West is truly sorry, or if it is all an act?
