Kanye West says that the whole Taylor Swift VMA debacle wasn’t about race. One short year ago, Kanye West made pop culture history by bumrushing the stage after Taylor Swift accepted her award for Video of the Year and declaring that Beyonce deserved the honor.

While the two have apparently kissed and made up (through song), Kanye doesn’t know himself why he felt so impassioned that night.

“I stress that the incident wasn’t about Taylor personally. And it definitely wasn’t about race,” Kanye explains. “Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it’s your show, Taylor. It’s your show, MTV.”

“The relationship with the public and with your fans is like the relationship with your girlfriend,” he adds. “How could I not, at a certain point, be like, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have been at the awards show. I’m sorry.’ Not that I don’t deserve to get beat up or change who I am inside, to make sure that that doesn’t happen again.”

What do you think? Has Kanye West changed or is he still the arrogant hot head he was a year ago?
