Outspoken rap star KANYE WEST is deeply ashamed of his "spazz out" at MTV bosses after his performance at the Video Music Awards in 2007.
The Stronger hitmaker famously threatened to boycott MTV, claiming he had been disrespected at the Las Vegas awards show.
West insists he has grown from the experience and now regrets his actions.
He says, "That was completely immature and disrespectful and non-appreciative of what MTV did for me; MTV made me.
"I should never do anything to disrespect that... I sincerely apologise for that and I've grown from that."
And West insists he's keen to alter the public's perception of him - as an over-confident, arrogant star: "I'm embarrassed by some of the things I say. It's one thing to be confident, it's another thing to just be completely a spoiled brat. I was really spoiled because my first album got the most nominations ever, I was performing at the Grammys out of the blue... As soon as I hit the game, I hit the ground running; I had respect, I had accolades, I had record sales.
"It's time for the honesty to cut through and to grow up and be a man."
