KANYE WEST SAY'S HE REGRETS CALLING GEORGE BUSH A RACIST!

Kanye West is sorry for giving George W. Bush the worst experience of his presidency.
The Grammy-award winning rapper says he regrets saying "George Bush doesn't care about black people" five years ago in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"I would tell George Bush in my moment of frustration, I didn't have the grounds to call him racist," West said in a taped "Today" interview, which aired on Wednesday.

The singer admitted he was running on "high emotion," adding that sometimes "we as human beings don't choose the right words."

West made the heated statements about Bush during a 2005 televised fundraiser for victims of the hurricane.

Bush says in his recently-released memoir, "Decision Points," that the West incident marked an "all-time low" during his time in office.

Upon hearing the singer's regrets, Bush said "I appreciate that," during a live interview on "Today." He noted it wasn't just West who made hurtful comments during Hurricane Katrina.

"I'm not a hater. I don't hate Kanye," Bush said. "…No one wants to be called a racist if in your heart you believe in equality of race."

But apparently, West wasn't pleased with his treatment on "Today." In a series of tweets after the interview, the singer said Lauer "tried to force" his answers.

"I went up there to express how I was empathetic to Bush because I labeled him a racist and years later I got labeled a racist," he tweeted.

"While I was trying to give the interview they started playing the "MTV" under me with audio," he tweeted, in apparent reference to footage of the star storming on MTV's Video Music Awards' stage to interrupt Taylor Swift's acceptance speech last September.

"I feel very alone very used very tortured very forced very misunderstood very hollow very very misused," West tweeted after the interview. And in bizarre follow up, he wrote,

"Everything sounds like noise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING SOUNDS LIKE NOISE!!!!!!! I don't trust anyone!"

After discussing the West incident, Lauer questioned Bush on other subjects including the Tea Party (Bush says he didn't give birth to it), the mosque near Ground Zero (he won't comment) and what he misses the most about the job (being commander-in-chief).

Bush also said he'd disappear from the limelight after his book tour winds up.

"After selling this book, I'm heading back underground," he said.
