Kanye West apologizes in Hebrew for his ‘unintended’ antisemitic ‘outburst’ and any ‘pain’ he caused
Kanye “Ye” West issued an apology to “the Jewish community” early Tuesday in an Instagram post after unleashing a slew of antisemitic remarks in Las Vegas earlier this month.
“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,” West, 46, wrote on Instagram. “It was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.”
According to the post, which was written in Hebrew, West said that he was “learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.”
“Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity,” the rapper concluded.
West’s bizarre statement left several fans divided on whether or not the post was genuine.
“Apologizing was probably one of the conditions from the label to release his album,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) commented, referring to the singer’s upcoming album “Vultures.”
“Publicist told him he has to repent to the overlords,” another user stated.
“He wants his bank account back,” a third user added.
“I hope it was genuine,” one user wished.
“It must be a Christmas Miracle,” a second user commented.
West’s apology comes mere days after he went on a 10-minute viral rant about Donald Trump, Jesus and Adolf Hitler on Dec. 15.
“It’s 60 million of us in America, 60 million Jews in the world,” West ranted in a video obtained by TMZ. “Who’s going to make the hospitals, though? He’s a Zionist, Trump. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye, third party, sponsor that.”
According to the outlet, he allegedly made a reference to “my daughter” — presumably North West, 10, since she was with him in Vegas, at the time.
“My daughter ripped up the motherf – – king couches in the house to be able to be with me right now,” he said.
West also shares daughter Chicago, 5, and sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 4, with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 42.
He also previewed new music while donning a KKK-style hood during Miami’s Art Basel on Dec. 12. “I still keep some Jews with me / Management? Nah / I only let ’em do my jewelry,” he rapped at the event.
The Post reached out to West for comment.
West initially came under fire last year when he tweeted that he was “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE … You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
The “Heartless” singer was subsequently banned from Twitter.
West’s suspension from the social media site came days after the singer was kicked off of Instagam for making anti-Jewish remarks.
In response, Adidas and Gap — who were collaborating with West — severed ties with the problematic rapper, and reportedly lost $1.5 billion of his net worth due to being dropped.
