*In an interview with the Sunday Times, Kanye West admitted he was wrong when he claimed after the Grammys in February that “Beck needs to respect artistry, and should have given his award to Beyoncé.”
“I don’t make suggestions, I make propositions. I don’t give requests, I give directives. There’s no in-between. I’m fine to apologize for inaccuracies. You know, I send flowers for inaccuracies,” he told the British newspaper. “I talked to Beck’s wife, and I think I had a point about Beyoncé’s album, but I think I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry.”
Several weeks after the award show incident, West had dinner with his original award show rival Taylor Swift, and the restaurant just so happened to be playing Beck’s album (which West admittedly hadn’t heard before).
In a radio interview, he confessed that after hearing it, he thought, “Man, this is kind of good. I ain’t gonna lie. I bet you that album is really good. I’m going to listen to that album and maybe it was potentially Album of the Year.”
About a week later, the rapper publicly apologized to the musician on Twitter, writing, “I would like to publicly apologize to Beck, I’m sorry Beck.”
