Kanye had to apologize over his insensitive slavery comments yet again—this time to his wife Kim. “My wife callin’, screamin’, say we ’bout to lose it all / Had to calm her down ‘cause she couldn’t breathe / Told her she could leave me now, but she wouldn’t leave,” he raps in the first verse of his song “Wouldn’t Leave.” (Photo: WENN)

Kanye west prides himself on being unapologetically Kanye. But sometimes, even Yeezy has to take a bite of the humble pie and say sorry for his bold, often nonsense, but always controversial proclamations.
