(CNN) Kanye West wants to clarify his controversial comments about the 13th Amendment.

The polarizing rapper, who now wants to be known as "Ye," was roasted this past weekend for his comments about President Trump from the stage of "Saturday Night Live" and for later tweeting that the 13th Amendment should be abolished.

The amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime for which someone had been convicted.

West stirred outrage with a tweet Sunday which showed him on what appeared to be a private plane while wearing a "Make America Great Again" cap. In it he wrote, "This represents good and America becoming whole again."

this represents good and America becoming whole again. We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs. We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love pic.twitter.com/a15WqI8zgu — ye (@kanyewest) September 30, 2018

"We will no longer outsource to other countries. We build factories here in America and create jobs," West tweeted. "We will provide jobs for all who are free from prisons as we abolish the 13th amendment. Message sent with love."
