Kanye West has issued a lengthy public apology for his behaviour over the past week.
The 44-year-old rapper has come under fire for his daily social media posts, may of which targeted estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson.
In the past week alone he has publicly begged Kim to take him back, sent a truckload of red roses to her home for Valentine's Day, and issued threats towards Pete - although her later apologised for the latter and insisted he meant no physical harm towards the 28-year-old comedian.
His latest stunt prompted accusations of 'lovebombing' and 'emotional manipulation' after Kim begged him to keep their ongoing divorce private.

But taking to Instagram on Tuesday evening Ye seemingly apologised and took accountability for his 'jarring' behaviour.
He wrote: "I’ve learned that using all caps makes people feel like I’m screaming at them. I’m working on my communication. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders."
He added: "Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability. I’m still learning in real time. I don’t have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener."

The father-of-four has bipolar disorder, and has since spoken openly about living with the condition - often describing it as a 'superpower' - and about his frequent manic episodes.
Speaking to Tyla this week, psychologist Caron Barruw from The Niche Group urged compassion when it came to the rapper's behaviour, saying: "As Kanye has always used social media as a platform for his episodes, many people do not understand the condition or the behaviours that occur. Furthermore, there is no monitoring of the constant messaging no matter how abusive they become."
She continued: "In managing manic episodes they can often appear as someone ‘just going on' and to an average person it may sound like JUST a rant . However, as it is a diagnosis that needs treatment and attention, the ideal initial way of treating it is to talk slowly and quietly to the person."
