Kanye West has finally offered an apology to the Jewish community after making a string of offensive comments. The Through The Wire rapper had received widespread backlash after claiming he was going to ‘go death con 3 on Jewish people’ in a tweet.
On Tuesday, Kanye, 46, made an Instagram post written in Hebrew which is believed to translate to: ‘I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. 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.’
He included a message at the end of the post, saying: ‘Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.’
The apology was welcomed by some of his social media followers, but some were more sceptical. The controversy began in October 2022 when the rapper tweeted about his plans for the Jewish community. He also praised Hitler’s ‘redeeming qualities’ and denied the Holocaust ever happened.
Kanye West has since been working on his return to the spotlight with the release of his new album, Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign set for New Year’s Day. He has also been planning to build a city in the Middle East twice the size of New York.
It has been over a year since Kanye’s controversial remarks, and although there is still some scepticism, his apology has been welcomed by many. His upcoming album and city project both display his dedication to making a return to the spotlight.
