Kanye West says he’s been losing sleep over his feud with JAY-Z, revealing in a now-deleted post over the weekend that his dreams have been consumed by guilt.
“All my dreams have been about apologizing to Jay Z,” he wrote before quietly scrubbing the message from his timeline.

The post marked a sharp turn from Kanye West, who just months earlier unleashed a string of offensive and deeply personal attacks aimed at Beyoncé and JAY-Z’s children.
In March, West posted a shocking tweet targeting the couple’s twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, using ableist slurs.
“Has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s younger kids? They’re r*tarded,” he wrote. He added, “This is why artificial insemination is such a blessing. Having r*tarded children is a choice.”
After deleting the post, West reposted it with a blunt explanation: “NOT BECAUSE IM A GOOD PERSON.” He followed that with another offensive jab: “I TOOK IT DOWN LIKE DOWN SYNDROME GET IT.”
The situation escalated further when West tweeted, “F### JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS.”
The backlash was immediate. Mathew Knowles, Beyoncé’s father, slammed the remarks as “stupid” and said he hoped West would seek help. Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mother, didn’t name West directly but posted about choosing light over “ignorance and evil.”
In April, West offered a vague apology, tweeting, “I’m sorry Jay Z,” and added, “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real s### none of these rap n##### had my back.”
West’s deleted post from this past weekend suggests the weight of his words hasn’t left him. Whether JAY-Z responds or not, the damage still lingers.
