December 26th 2023.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has issued an official apology written in Hebrew to the Jewish community. On Tuesday, Dec. 26, Ye took to social media to post a message in Hebrew that served as an apology for his past antisemitic remarks. In his post, he expressed his sincere remorse for any pain he may have caused, and his commitment to learning from this experience in order to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.
Ye's apology follows a year of controversial outbursts that have seen him take a sharp fall from grace. This included saying he would "death con 3 on Jewish people" and telling conspiracy theorist Alex Jones that he "liked Hitler". He was also filmed ranting against people he felt caused his downfall and citing "Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye". In his track "Vultures", he also made a reference to his fall from grace in the lyrics "How I'm antisemitic? I just fuc*ed a Jewish bi*ch".
As a result of his behaviour, Ye saw his net worth plunge from $6.6 billion to $400 million and he lost major brand deals with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga. His music contract with Def Jam Recordings was terminated after the release of his 2021 "Donda" album. JP Morgan Chase also ended their business relationship with Ye and asked him to transfer his accounts from the bank.
Ye had been relatively quiet for most of 2023, but has recently started to resurface as he teases new music. It now looks like Kanye is aiming for redemption and is seeking forgiveness from the Jewish community. He has expressed his commitment to making amends and promoting unity, and it remains to be seen what the response to his apology will be.
