Kanye West has admitted that he was wrong to criticise Beck following his win of the Grammy for Album of the Year this past February, where West later insisted that a "real artist" like Beyoncé should have been showed respect and taken the prize.
Though he apologised for his actions a few weeks after the ceremony, he's now gone into more detail about his suggestion at the time of Beck not being a "real artist".
Speaking to The Sunday Times, West explained: "I don't make suggestions, I make propositions. I don't give requests, I give directives. There's no in-between.
"I'm fine to apologise for inaccuracies. You know, I send flowers for inaccuracies.
"I talked to Beck's wife, and I think I had a point about Beyoncé's album, but I think I was inaccurate with the concept of a gentleman who plays 14 instruments not respecting artistry."
He went on to add: "Isn't it amazing that people are so constantly shocked by the commonly agreed-in truth? How much bulls**t 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. In this fight, in this struggle for beauty, in this struggle for awesomeness, in this struggle for fair play, in a manipulative field, there might be a couple of inaccuracies on my part. But far fewer than the inaccuracies of the current systems."
West will be headlining this year's Glastonbury Festival on Saturday June 27, with organiser Emily Eavis teasing that he has some big plans for his slot on the Pyramid Stage.
