Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, issued an apology in Hebrew on Instagram to “the Jewish community” after facing backlash for past antisemitic remarks, including stating, “I like Hitler.” Brands, including Adidas, severed ties following the controversial statements.
In the recent apology, Ye expressed regret, emphasized a commitment to learning, and sought forgiveness while acknowledging the importance of promoting unity.
His latest album’s title track, “Vultures,” addresses the controversy with a provocative lyric.
