"Better late than never?\r\nNearly one year after Kanye West ruined Taylor Swift&amp;apos;s big moment at the MTV Video Music Awards, the rapper is still trying to make amends.\r\n&amp;quot;I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that&amp;apos;s so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won&amp;apos;t take it then I&amp;apos;ll perform it for her. She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her,&amp;quot; West, 33, said in a series of tweets Saturday morning.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s just a lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone. I&amp;apos;m ready to get out of my own way. The ego is overdone,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;Who am I to run on stage? I would never ever again in a million years do that. Sorry to let you down&amp;#x2026;TAYLOR LOVES RAP MUSIC...I LOVE COUNTRY MUSIC...I&amp;apos;m sorry Taylor.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nStill, West insists &amp;quot;I am not a bad person. Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don&amp;apos;t always need my help. Beyonce didn&amp;apos;t need that. MTV didn&amp;apos;t need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn&amp;apos;t want or need that.&amp;quot;\r\nAfter West stormed the stage last September -- telling the audience that Beyonce deserved to win the Best Female Video award instead of Swift, 20 -- he now admits that it&amp;apos;s been difficult to win back the approval of his fans.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There are people who don&amp;apos;t dislike me...they absolutely hate me!&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;If you google &amp;apos;Asshole&amp;apos; my face may very well pop up 2 pages into the search&amp;#x2026;People tweeted that they wish I was dead. They wanted me to die people. I carry that...I wear my scars.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
