Kanye West says his initial impression of Beck was “inaccurate”

Kanye West appears to have admitted that this year’s Beck Grammys debacle was a mistake.

Four months on from the incident - where Kanye jokingly pretended to storm the stage as Beck won the Grammy Album of the Year for ‘Morning Phase’, before not joking at all in a post-awards speech - Yeezy says his actions may have been overboard.

While still stating that Beyonce’s self-titled album should have picked up the award, he told the Sunday Times his comments were “inaccurate”.

“You know, I send flowers for inaccuracies. I talked to Beck’s wife, and I think I had a point about Beyonce’s album, but I think I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry,” he said.

He went on to say that he expressed a “mass opinion”, at the time. “Isn’t it amazing that people are so constantly shocked by the commonly agreed-in truth? How much bullshit are we in if, every single time I give not just my opinion, but a vast 80%, 90% opinion, I get into that much trouble? When the truth is a mass opinion. That’s not about accuracy, it’s the definition of truth.”
