<p>Earlier this summer, Kanye West</a> sparked headlines when he spoke publicly about his love for President Donald Trump and his belief that slavery was a choice</a>. Fans and critics alike were shocked at the rapper’s words</a>. The Chicago rapper tried to clear things up with Jimmy Kimmel</a>, but didn’t have great answers to all the questions. In a new interview with WGCI Chicago</a>, the 41-year-old finally apologized for those comments. But he didn’t exactly take full responsibility. Watch the clip above to see how Kanye tries to shirk all the blame.</p><br /><p>“The people who were around and are starting to make money, they just didn’t care about me as much,” he said. “Because Kanye West was an entity, a money-making machine, and you get into that situation and you don’t have people that are continuously looking out for your best interests at all costs.”</p><br /><p>He continued, getting more emotional, “I even had people that was with me at TMZ that could’ve stopped it, that could’ve said, ‘Yo it was going too far.'”</p><br /><p>“So I believe that the downfall of Kanye West is directly related to Don C</a> not being around,” he concluded. “Don is actually,” he said, but then started to cry. He journeyed on. “Don is actually in town right now, because I told him I need him to be there for me so shit like this don’t happen to me, Cause …”</p><br /><p>Then he broke down, completely crying. Don C is a streetwear designer and friend of Kanye</a>.</p><br /><p>Yeezy’s actual apology was a little more eloquent. He said, “I don’t know if I properly apologized for how the slavery comment made people feel. I’m sorry for the one-two effect of the MAGA hat</a> into the slave comment, and I’m sorry for people that felt let down by that moment. And I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to talk to you about the way I was thinking and what I was going through.” </p><br /><p>Still, in other ways, he doubled down on the controversial comments saying, “It sounds like a choice to <i>me</i>, to Kanye West,” he said. “I’m not a historian, I’m Kanye West.” He also compared himself to Nat Turner and Harriet Tubman.</p><br /><p>Kanye also revealed that he’s never voted.</p><br /><p>Do you accept Kanye’s apology?
