Kanye West apologizes to Kim Kardashian for public comments on their private life

Kanye West is apologizing to Kim Kardashian West after the controversial comments he made at his presidential campaign rally in South Carolina and on Twitter last week.

The rapper is currently spending time at his ranch in Cody, Wyoming.

I would like to apologize to my wife Kim for going public with something that was a private matter. I did not cover her like she has covered me," the "All of the Lights" rapper tweeted on Saturday.

To Kim I want to say I know I hurt you. Please forgive me. Thank you for always being there for me.

Meanwhile, a source tells ET, "Kim and the family are happy to see Kanye apologize, but at the end of the day the most important thing for them is Kanye getting the help he needs."

Kanye said hurtful things to Kim and the family and in time that will heal, but Kanye’s health is priority, the source adds.

Since Kanye hasn’t been responsive to Kim and her family's attempt to help him, they are hoping this public olive branch is a start for him in allowing Kim to help.
