Rapper, producer and avid Twitter user Kanye West used the microblogging website today to apologize to Taylor Swift for interrupting her acceptance speech at MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards (VMAs), in a series of more than 70 tweets.

“These tweets have no manager, no publicist, no grammar checking… this is raw,” he wrote.

West is scheduled to perform at the 2010 VMAs on Sept. 12.

At the Sept. 13, 2009 ceremony, West interrupted an acceptance speech by Swift for the Best Female Video award, grabbed the microphone and declared that Beyonce should have won the award because her video for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was “one of the best videos of all time.
West was widely criticized for the stunt.

Writing on Twitter this morning, West claimed that press and media had been “waiting for an opportunity” to demonize him, and said the fallout from the incident was “the first time I felt the impact of my brash actions.”

The rapper also lamented that the interruption was made into a race issue by some — West is black and Swift is white — and said he was “only trying to do good.” He said he now understands that people do not always need his help.

“Beyonce didn’t need that. MTV didn’t need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn’t want or need that,” he wrote.

Eventually, West addressed Swift. “She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows,” he wrote. “She had no idea what hit her. She’s justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone.”

West said he has written a song for Swift. “I want her to have it. If she won’t take it then I’ll perform it for her,” he said.

“I want to help as many people as I can,” West said toward the end of his stream of tweets. “I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion. It starts with this… I’m sorry Taylor.”
