Kanye West admitted he was wrong on Wednesday.
And it wasn’t just his grammar after he misspelled ‘throne’ as ‘thrown’ in a series of contrite tweets.
The rapper wrote ‘My number one enemy has been my ego’ following over a week of bizarre tweets
ranging from taking credit for Taylor Swift’s success to claiming Bill Cosby was innocent.
After the out-of-character confession, Kanye also corrected his spelling error hours later after fans
called him out on the grammar faux pas.

The Life of Pablo artist began earlier in the morning: ‘A wise man should be humble enough to admit when he’s wrong and change his mind based on new information…’
And followed the missive with a confessional note: ‘My number one enemy has been my ego… there is only one thrown (sic) and that’s God’s …’
Kanye later tweeted a correction on his spelling of the word ‘throne’. The correction came after fans slammed him for the misspelling, with one Twitter user writing: ‘@kanyewest Did you seriously just spell THRONE “THROWN”?!”
However the confessional tweets may have had nothing to do with Taylor Swift or Bill Cosby as earlier in the stream of messages on Wednesday morning he referenced some of his previous comments.

‘Man, I was thinking about when I commented on the idea of “taking the rap throne”,’ Kanye began, ‘that statement has’t been sitting well with me… That’s a dated mentality … I’m not on that …’
He went on to explain: ‘every rapper is somebody’s favorite…Some rappers got the club … Some got the radio… some got the conscience…some got the streets… Everybody has something they do the best…’
Last week, Kanye infuriated Taylor Swift after he released a track about having sex with her and claimed he made ‘that b*tch famous’ with his 2009 MTV Awards stage invasion.V

On another note: Kanye shared some of his dreams during the stream of consciousness rant
In an astonishing 15 tweet outburst last week, Kanye began by saying he ‘did not diss’ the singer and he has ‘never dissed her’. But he then launched into a rant about how he called her on the phone, had an hour-long conversation with her about the song Famous, and said she found it ‘funny’ and gave him her blessing.
Furthermore, he defended the use of the word ‘b*tch’ in the song, saying it was an ‘endearing term’ in hip hop, like the word ‘Ni***’. The track Famous, which also features Taylor’s rival Rihanna, Kanye raps: ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.’ And added: ‘Why? I made that b*tch famous.’
In what could be seen as a jump in logic, Kanye even claimed that the line ‘I made that b*tch famous’, was actually her idea.
Hitting back! Taylor Swift took a not too subtle swipe at Kanye and his new single ‘Famous’ as she accepted the award for Album Of The Year at the Grammys on Monday night
In the tweets he wrote: ‘I’m not even gone take credit for the idea… it’s actually something Taylor came up with.’
The Trouble hitmaker denied Kanye’s claims and blasted the track as ‘misogynistic’.
Her spokeswoman said in a statement to DailyMail.com: ‘Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account.
‘She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b*tch famous.”‘
Kanye infamously interrupted Taylor’s 2009 speech at the MTV VMAs. But since that time the two looked to have patched things up as Taylor presented Kanye with the Video Vanguard Award at last year’s VMAs. Now, of course, it looks like things are back to being volatile.
And on Monday night at the Grammys Taylor hit out at Kanye as she accepted her gong for Album Of The Year.
The 26-year-old singer noted that she is the only woman in history to have won Album Of The Year twice in a thinly veiled attack after Kanye claimed he made the pop star famous.
‘As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young women out there, there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,’ Taylor said as she accepted her award, clearly referencing the rapper’s recent comments.
‘But if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you are going,’ she added. ‘You will look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there. And that will be the greatest feeling in the world. Thank you for this moment.’
Kanye has also recently claimed to have $53 million in unpaid debts and voiced anger on Twitter as he accused people of using his supposed debt against him in business interactions over the last few years.
