Kanye West apologized to Jay-Z on X after controversial remarks about his children and admitted he deleted the post to avoid losing access to the platform.
Kanye West issued a vague apology on X after his earlier remarks about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children reportedly prompted the couple to consider legal action.
“I’m sorry Jay Z,” West wrote in a post shared to his X account. “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 st none of these rap nias had my back.”
The apology came weeks after West publicly questioned the mental abilities of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twins during a series of erratic posts.
The comments were widely criticized as inappropriate and offensive, especially given the children’s age.
Following the backlash, reports surfaced that Beyoncé and Jay-Z were exploring legal options in response to what they called “vulgar and offensive” statements made by West.

While the original post was later deleted, West made it clear that his decision to remove it wasn’t driven by remorse.
“I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down because there was a possibility of my Twitter being canceled,” he wrote.
The apology did not directly address the children or clarify whether it was meant to retract those specific comments.
