    American rapper Kanye West has apologized to Taylor Swift for his infamous 2009 VMA award interruption on Twitter.

    He posted nearly 100 tweets in a little over two hours.

    "Man I love Twitter... I've always been at the mercy of the press but no more... The media tried to demonize me," TMZ.com quoted him as tweeting.

    "Remember in Anchor Man when Ron Burgandy cursed on air and the entire city turned on him? But this wasn't a joke. This was and is my real life.

    "People tweeted that they wish I was dead... No listen. They wanted me to die people. I carry that. I smile and take pictures through that.

    "I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her.

    "When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE ... I take the responsibility for my actions ... I am not a bad person.

    Even in that moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help ... Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that.

    "I'm sorry Taylor," he added. (ANI)
