First, he went to [dinner with Taylor Swift](https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/571087451789225984). Now, he’s publicly trying to make good with two artists he’s hated on in the past: Yeezus tweeted apologies on Thursday to Beck and Bruno Mars. The Beck apology came after he kind of stole the artist’s thunder at the 2015 Grammy Awards, nearly “pulling a Kanye”—or his “I’mma let you finish” moment with Swift at the VMAs in 2009—when Beck won Album of the Year over Béyonce. He later said in an interview that the _Morning Phase_ singer should give his award to the superstar. > [](https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/571087300974608384) The Bruno Mars apology, however, could come as a surprise to some. West admitted that he “really used to hate on” the “Uptown Funk” singer. (He has ranted about Mars during a [couple](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA%5F8QgSl%5F0s) of his [concerts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABYryBGTaCE), too.) > [](https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/571087333686005761) Now, it looks like he thinks he’s pretty cool. In fact, he invited Mars to sing on a new track. > [](https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/571087451789225984) What he’ll do next is anyone’s guess. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3725185/kanye-tweets-bruno-mars-beck/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3725185/kanye-tweets-bruno-mars-beck/"},"headline":"Kanye Tweets Apologies to Beck and Bruno Mars","datePublished":"2015-02-27T00:54:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T04:46:10.652Z","description":"And he even offered Mars a chance to sing on a new track","url":"https://time.com/3725185/kanye-tweets-bruno-mars-beck/","keywords":["celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3725185/kanye-tweets-bruno-mars-beck/","name":"Kanye Tweets Apologies to Beck and Bruno Mars"}}]}] ```
