Kanye West admits threatening to boycott MTV was “completely immature and disrespectful”.

The Heartless hitmaker hit out at the music network in 2007, claiming he had been disrespected at their Las Vegas awards show.

But West now accepts his actions were inappropriate – and insists he has grown from the experience.

“That was completely immature and disrespectful and non-appreciative of what MTV did for me; MTV made me,” the rapper said.

“I should never do anything to disrespect that… I sincerely apologise for that and I’ve grown from that.

“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.”
