Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has issued an apology to the Jewish community in an Instagram post written in Hebrew, following his recent antisemitic remarks made during a promotion for his upcoming album, Associated Press reports.
In the statement, Ye expressed regret for any pain he may have caused and apologized for unintended outbursts. The Anti-Defamation League welcomed the apology but noted that actions would speak louder than words.
Ye has a history of controversial comments, including antisemitic remarks, praising Hitler and the Nazis. Due to past comments, he faced consequences like losing partnerships with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga, among others.
