Hip hop star Kanye West has sent out a flood of Tweets apologizing once again to Taylor Swift for grabbing the microphone from her during the MTV Video Music Awards last year and declaring that Beyonce should have won best female video.

"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," he said on his Twitter account Saturday.

"She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us."

The incident would haunt West for a year after. He admitted in the posting that he "bled hard" for his misdeed.

Many celebrities lambasted him and U.S. President Barack Obama called him a "jackass." The Grammy winner then went on Jay Leno's prime-time show to apologize and said he was still trying to recover from his mother's death two years prior.

He also cancelled a joint tour with Lady Gaga that fall, apparently due to low ticket sales.

"People tweeted that they wish I was dead. No listen. They wanted me to die, people."

Both performers up for video awards

West declared to his 900,000 followers that "the ego is overdone" and apologized to Swift again.

There's much anticipation about this year's VMAs, which will air live on Sept. 12. Host Chelsea Handler says she would like to reunite West and Swift onstage.

There's no word from Swift about what she might do. She is up again for best female video, this time for Fifteen.

West has one nomination this year for his collaboration with Canada's Drake, Li'l Wayne and Eminem on the Forever music video.

His confessional Tweet comes on the same weekend as one by Canadian hip hop star K'naan, who proclaimed he was unhappy with a recent performance in Ireland and revealed that he was fatigued, upset over a relationship break-up and emotionally spent.
