Kanye West says he's working on taking "accountability" for the string of now-deleted Instagram posts he made about Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson.
The rapper wiped his account on Tuesday and shared a new photo following an influx of posts over the weekend.
The posts - who have now been deleted - included screenshots of texts he'd received from both Kardashian and Davidson, and memes that he captioned with harassing messages about the pair.
West, 44, posted a picture of him standing solo on a stage, surrounded by smoke. Alongside the image, he said he was "working on" his communication skills.
"I've learned that using all caps makes people feel like I'm screaming at them. I'm working on my communication," he wrote. "I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers, and community leaders. Thank everybody for supporting me."
The Donda rapper continued with a reference to the multiple posts, which he said "came off as harassing" his ex, 41, with whom he shares children North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 3 and Psalm, 2.
"I know sharing screenshots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim," he wrote. "I take accountability. I'm still learning in real time. I don't have all the answers. To be [a] good leader is to be a good listener."
Two hours later, however, the rapper was back with another since-deleted post. West shared an image of a roadside billboard reading: "Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children & start asking mothers why he had to fight at all."
The rapper previously shared texts he'd received from Kardashian, which said West was "creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will be all your fault," later saying: "There are dangerous people out there and this is scary and it doesn't have to be."
The 'Stronger' hitmaker replied to his estranged wife via text: "I will always do everything to protect you and our family forever. And I listened to you and told everyone to make sure nothing physical happens to Skete."
"Cause I got a text from my favorite person in the world," he added. "I'm your number one fan ... Why wouldn't I tell everyone!!!!"
In his attack on Davidson, West called the SNL comedian a "d***head" and shared a screengrab of his private text to him.
The comedian had texted the rapper: "...you as a man I'd never get in the way of your children. That's a promise. How you guys go about raising your kids is your business and not mine. I do hope [some] day I can meet them and we can all be friends."
West shared a pantsless snap of Davidson with his friend Machine Gun Kelly captioned: "No you will never meet my children."
