Ye shared an Instagram post on Tuesday, taking responsibility for harassing estranged wife Kim Kardashian and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson on the platform.

"I'm working on my communication," the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, captioned a photo of himself standing on stage surrounded by clouds of smoke. "I can benefit from a team of creative professionals, organizers, mobilizers and community leaders."

He continued: "Thank everybody for supporting me. I know sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim. I take accountability."

Kardashian filed for divorce from Ye on February 19, 2021, after seven years of marriage. At the time, sources said the split was "amicable" and both parties requested joint custody of their four children: North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2.

However, Ye has publicly begged Kardashian for a reunion on several occasions — despite her request to be "legally single" and budding relationship with Davidson, which was officially confirmed earlier this month.

"For so long, I did what made other people happy," Kardashian recently told Vogue, adding, "In the last two years I decided, I'm going to make myself happy."

She continued: "And that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy."

Ye has spent the last week scrubbing his Instagram of evidence of their relationship and criticizing her parenting.

He also dedicated several posts to mocking Davidson for dating his soon-to-be ex-wife, including an edited superhero poster and a screenshot of a supposed text from Davidson, which Ye captioned: "NO YOU WILL NEVER MEET MY CHILDREN."

On Monday night, Ye posted two screenshots of texts apparently from Kardashian, in which she asked Ye to stop harassing Davidson, worried that the situation might turn violent.

"U are creating a dangerous and scary environment and someone will hurt Pete and this will all be your fault," the text read.

In response, Ye asked his fans not to harm the "Saturday Night Live" comedian, saying he would "handle the situation myself."

The "Donda" rapper even sent a truck full of roses to Kardashian's home on Valentine's Day following news of his breakup with actress Julia Fox.

"I'm still learning in real time," Ye wrote on Tuesday, adding that the way he writes in all-caps can make it seem like he is screaming. "I don't have all the answers. To be good leader is to be a good listener," he said.

As of press time, Ye has only two posts remaining on his public Instagram feed: his post about taking accountability and a message from his cousin, apparently written by a former Adidas employee named Freida Bailey.

"This is the way. Lead with love, the beauty only you can summon," the message begins.

"She will come back - as God intends," it continues. "What will be different? Be gentle. Be patient. Keep growing. We are rooting for you."
