Amanda Bynes is "sorry" for calling Drake "ugly".

The 'Easy A' actress lashed out at the 'Best I Ever Had' hitmaker last week but has now backtracked insisting she's eager to "become friends".

She wrote: "I'm sorry about the tweets I said about @drake I didn't mean what I said. I hope to become friends with him instead of smashing him!"

Her comments are a remarkable u-turn from her previous tweets in which she insulted the rapper in a series of verbal attacks.

She had said: "Drake has the ugliest smile, ugly gums uneven teeth ugly eyes," before deleting the tweet.

However, she later took to her Twitter account and added: "I won't deny calling @drake ugly."

The 26-year-old star isn't the only recent victim of Amanda's harsh remarks - his former fling Rihanna was also blasted with comments regarding ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's assault of her in 2009.

Amanda tweeted: "Chris Brown beat you because you're not pretty enough," before adding: "@Rihanna no one wants to be your lover so you call everyone and their mother that I almost named my new dog Rihanna."
