Rapper posts message in Hebrew to social media, saying he is ‘committed to making amends and promoting unity’
Kanye West has apologised to “the Jewish community” for a series of antisemitic remarks he made in 2022.
In a statement posted in Hebrew on his Instagram account, where he has 18.2m followers, he wrote (as translated by Google): “I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community … It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
West, also known as Ye, was widely condemned after writing on X in October 2022 that he was “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE … You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” He posted a screenshot of a conversation with the rapper Diddy, in which West wrote: “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.”
The comments prompted Adidas to cut ties with West and end its lucrative Yeezy footwear partnership, with the company calling his comments “unacceptable, hateful and dangerous”. (Adidas’s chief executive Bjørn Gulden later said: “I don’t think he meant what he said and I don’t think he’s a bad person – it just came across that way.”) Gap, which also partnered with West and was already winding up their collaboration, stopped stocking West-affiliated products.
As a member of said community, go fuck yourself. Way too little, way too late… and you don’t fucking know Hebrew so that pandering bullshit doesn’t help.
It was not your intention to hurt and demean Jews when you said the things you said about Jews? Fuck you.
Exactly, this dickhead was on Rogan, Tucker, Fuentes, and any other right wingers show who would have them, and hanging out with Tucker and Fuentes is literally hanging out with the most Nazi/Russian propagandist and the most widely known Nazi talking head, well aside from Elon.
Ye has helped foster antisemitism in the black community at an alarming rate while also being the absolute worst time to do so, for both black Americans and Jewish Americans, whom up to this point in American civil rights history have been historically allies.
It’s too late for Ye to realize he’s the pawn of racists and antisemites, the damage is done thanks to his foolish mentally ill ass.
Frankly, writing this in Hebrew is a bit shitty. Most Jews in the world don’t live in Israel, and while Jews outside of Israel might learn to read Hebrew when they’re young, most can’t actually understand its modern spoken version. So while I can see how someone might think releasing an apology in Hebrew might show solidarity with the Jews, it kind of does the opposite, at least for me.
Actions speak louder than words in a foreign language.
Just start taking your fucking meds, dipshit.
I assumed that’s why he apologized. Hopefully he gets some help.
Oh I am sure people will forgive you for saying “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world. I see good things about Hitler, also.”
I am not a Jew. I don’t really care about Jews. I don’t think I have ever met one? But one doesn’t have to be a Jew to think of you being one of the dumbest motherfuckers on the face of the planet. And no, having mental health issues does not excuse sparking that much hate especially when most of your fans are young people. Shithead.
Being Jewish isn’t like CrossFit. You can be Jewish and not talk about it.
These days many of us are scared to talk about it… especially on campuses. But for the most part we just wanna be left alone to read our books and argue about them.

It’s not my grievance to forgive, but it’ll definitely take a long time and a lot of work to get me to believe he actually means it. His antisemitism is severe enough that I struggle to see a reason why he should get a second chance at the rich and famous thing.
Ye must be getting ready for another run at President!
That’s the thing with people with this level of money and impunity: they can do whatever they want, say they’re sorry and are willing to improve themselves, and that’s it.
Tomorrow he will offend or insult someone else, next year he will be saying he’s sorry, he wasn’t in a good place, and he’s ready to improve himself.
Pathetic.
Fuck this guy. Hard. Stop.
He ain’t sorry, he’s sorry he’s no longer desired/wanted/fawned after. He misses the power.
I hope he’s back on his meds and has a better/actual support network
Man wants to get back on the gravy train, makes phony apology.
I’m guessing someone persuaded him to take his meds.
Yo, we can listen to Ye again ❗❗
Glad Kanye is doing so.

Until he misses his meds again and he’ll take it all back.
