Renowned rapper and music producer, Kanye West has issued an apology to the Jewish
community.
The apology comes ahead of the release of his much-anticipated album, “Vultures”,
which is a joint project with Ty Dolla Sign.
West, who now goes by the name ‘Ye’, took to Instagram to express his regrets over past
antisemitic remarks. The apology was written in Hebrew, a gesture that signifies his intent to
directly address the community he had offended.
The apology comes after a series of controversial statements made by West in 2022. These
included a tweet where he stated he was going “death con on Jewish people” and other
comments suggesting Jewish people control the entertainment industry and media.
These remarks led to widespread backlash, with several companies, including Adidas and Gap,
severing ties with the rapper.
