A few hours ago, Kanye West was spamming with a series of posts on Elon Musk's microblogging platform, known as X. As usual, Kanye stayed true to his online persona. His posts centred around events that happened in the past and formed his narrative to surround himself. However, in the middle of his X rants, netizens noticed a post where he apologized to Jay-Z for some of the things he said about the record executive's children in now-deleted posts.

Kanye West wrote on his official X account:

"I’m sorry Jay Z... I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real sh*t none of these rap ni**as had my back" - Ye explained.

Ye's apology post has garnered over 520K views and counting. While Mr. Carter is yet to reply to West's post. This is what one netizen had to say:

"About time you realised my fren.. 💀 " - @Sirtoshi690420 replied.

How did netizens react to Kanye West's apology to Jay-Z?

The comment section on Kanye West's post saw a mix of reactions. Some people think that Kanye did the right thing by apologizing to Jay-Z. Others agree that Ye was correct regarding the latter part of his post, where he mentioned that everyone in the rap family left him.

Nonetheless, have a look at what some of these comments have to say.

Fans who noted that Kanye was actually right for saying what he said, but agreed that Jay-Z and Beyoncé's twins did nothing wrong. They wrote:

"Ye be turning the other cheek when he really not wrong like that Them kids ain’t do nothing though" - @noonxverx said.
"If Jay Z and the rest of them were REAL they would have never tuned the backs. SAD part about the game is people only care about themselves. May God bless you @kanyewest" - @tglstore chimed in.
"To be very honest, you can’t just hate YE. I’m super glad he’s finally apologized to Jay Z for calling his kids ‘ret**ds’" - @mztaratm added.

Another user who thought Kanye did the right thing by apologizing said:

"Finally you coming to your senses slowly 🫶🏽" - @TheSituationZA commented.

Some netizens think that the apology came a little too late. They commented:

"It’s too late . You already called out his whole fam . You done for" - @Capsizing__ responded.

Another user mentioned that Jay-Z would not see the apology post because Kanye West had been spamming X the entire night. The comment reads:

"Bro Krusty the Clown ain't gonna see this tweet, you sent out like 275 one liners tonight." - @autishim_ pointed out.

Whether Jay-Z has seen the post or not is unclear because the Empire State of Mind rapper is yet to respond to Kanye. Beyoncé has not yet addressed the apology post either.
