6 May
Summary
- KJ read a text message from West expressing apology.
- West's text acknowledged KJ's pain and offered support.
- The exchange occurred after West and Amanda went public.

During a May 5 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, KJ revealed he had finally read a text message from West, sent on April 24. KJ admitted he had been apprehensive to open the message, which he described as his only unread communication.
Upon reading the text aloud, West apologized to KJ for his actions and expressed regret for losing touch with the extent of KJ's hurt. West acknowledged KJ's "articulation and kindness" and sent love regarding KJ's mental health, rooting for his well-being.
The message suggested a future lunch or phone call for healing, with no pressure to respond immediately. KJ confessed that reading the text was painful, given their previously close friendship. This exchange follows West and Amanda Batula's public announcement of their romance on March 31.
This situation arises after KJ stated last month that West had not contacted him after his relationship with Amanda was confirmed, contrary to West's claims on his podcast. KJ alluded to further complexities in West and Amanda's relationship via social media, stating, "The truth hurts, homie, tough love."
