Kanye West's erratic behavior may be coming to an end...we think. It seems as though the rapper has somewhat humbled himself as he recently apologized to Nike. He even voiced his appreciation for what they've done for him.

While talking with TallBoy, Mr. West had this to say:

"I'm still gonna do music but I really do feel honored to have had the chance to blow Yeezy up with Nike and I really appreciate everything they did for me. I'm not knocking them on the way out or burning no bridges, you know, I apologize for my frustration earlier. I just think it's time. It's go time. It's turn up time."

That's a bold and surprisingly big move for Kanye. His apology comes after he recently aired out the dirty laundry of his sneaker deal with Nike.

West claimed that he never received any royalties for his involvement with Nike, which came as a shocker considering the success of the Nike Air Yeezys.

Kanye recently signed a sneaker deal with Adidas, which he spoke highly of.

"It just feels good to be able to create more, create product that I can control the pricing on," Ye said. "That I can do quality control on. I feel very comfortable to have a great partner backing my ideas and allowing me to think and be creative and giving me that shot."

Since Ye has decided to momentarily set his ego aside, maybe the Nike Air Yeezy 2 "Red Octobers" will be released after all.
