The American rapper, who has been calling himself Ye since last year, published an apology to the Jewish community on December 26, in which he repents for his statements in recent years. The musician’s extensive statement was published on his Instagram profile and on the X website, and interestingly, in the language of Judaism – Hebrew.

“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintentional outbursts of my words or actions. I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I commit to starting with myself and learning from this situation to provide greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I commit to repairing the situation and promoting unity,” the artist wrote.
He insulted, among others, Diddy. He lost millions of dollars in contracts and social media
Kanye West outraged the public last year by publishing a number of anti-Semitic posts. His comments led to the termination of high-profile contracts with GAP and Adidas for products under the Yeezy name. His reach on social media was also limited. The “hero” of one of the entries was rapper and music producer Sean “Diddy” Combs, whom he directly accused of “giving control of himself to the Jewish lobby.”
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), one of the oldest Jewish organizations in the world, happily reacted to the rapper’s statement. Although they accuse him of “causing untold damage by using his enormous influence to poison countless minds with virulent anti-Semitism and hatred,” they treat the entry as a first step on the road to reconciliation. “Deeds are more important than words, but we welcome this act of repentance,” they added at the end.
Repentance or self-remembrance? West’s new album in the background
However, there is also a belief on the Internet that West’s post is related to the promotion of the new album “Vultures”. The album was supposed to be released in October this year, but due to constant postponements, it will be released in January 2024. Although, knowing Ye and the history of his work on musical projects, we won’t be surprised if it is released much later, or even not at all.
