Abandoning his signature all-caps screeds, Kanye West on Tuesday said hes taking accountability for his disturbing Instagram behavior toward his estranged wife Kim Kardashian over the past week.

Ive learned that using all caps makes people feel like Im screaming at them. Im working on my communication, the rapper, who has formally changed his name to simply Ye, captioned a photo of himself on stage surrounded by clouds of smoke. I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders.

Thank everybody for supporting me, he went on. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability.

The Donda rapper has undertaken a one-man pro-Kimye campaign recently, in part by targeting Kardashians new boyfriend, Pete Davidson .

Kardashian, who shares four children with West North, 8; Saint, 6; Chicago, 3; and Psalm, 2 filed for divorce last year and has since moved on with the Saturday Night Live star.

After it became apparent that Kardashian and Davidson were an item, West lashed out at the comedian, blasting him as a dickhead who will never meet my children. Referring to Davidson in several posts as Skete, West shared a string of memes, including a now-deleted movie poster edited to show him facing off against Davidson, whom he threatened to beat in a new song.

West also encouraged any fans who encountered Davidson to scream... at the top of your lungs and say Kimye forever. He also bizarrely referred to Davidson as the ex boyfriend of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and said Davidson wants to destroy your family and walk around in Calvin Kleins around your children.

The rapper later posted a screenshot of what he said was a text from Kardashian, where she allegedly asked West to stop attacking Davidson, writing that he was creating a dangerous and scary environment for the comedian.

Someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault, read a screenshot of Kardashians alleged text. In a caption accompanying the image, West wrote: Upon my wifes request please nobody do anything physical to Skete Im [sic] going to handle the situation myself.

Im still learning in real time. I dont have all the answers, West wrote in his post on Tuesday. To be good leader is to be a good listener.

It remains to be seen whether Kardashian will accept the peace offering. The Skims founder has made it clear she has no interest in reconciling with West despite his overtures like the truckload of roses delivered to her doorstep on Valentines Day.

She did, however, share a statement earlier this month about Wests obsession with trying to control their situation after he publicly criticized her for allowing their daughter North to use TikTok.

Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanyes obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all, Kardashian wrote. From the beginning I have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way.

Davidson, meanwhile, has yet to publicly respond to Wests attacks, but it appears hes received the Kardashian stamp of approval . On Monday, Khloe Kardashian thanked Davidson for sending her flowers on Valentines Day, writing The sweetest! Thank you Pete, alongside a photo of pink roses.
