Kanye West has issued an apology to the Jewish community after facing backlash for his anti-Semitic remarks.
West sent his apology in Hebrew, explaining that it was not his intention to “hurt” or “demean” and that he “deeply regrets” any pain he may have caused.

He continued, “I am committed to starting with myself and 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.”
West’s apology comes after he was recorded having a wild outburst where he name-dropped multiple industry peers, said he would not support ex-President Trump, and claimed “Zionists” control the hospitals, banks, and private schools.

In a very heated video that went viral on December 15, West was seen addressing a crowd in Las Vegas and making several claims about the backlash he faced last year when he lost major deals, including his contract with Adidas, due to a slew of anti-Semitic remarks he made.
In the clip shared online, West slammed people for not standing up for him after he made the anti-Semitic comments.
“A lot of people had s— to say about my Jewish comments, but ain’t nobody in the motherf—- room and none of y’all entertainment n—- ever said nothing when I was praying to see my kids,” West stated.
In his rant, the rapper criticized ex-president Donald Trump, saying the 2024 presidential hopeful won’t get his support, and verbally attacked Drake, Jay-Z, Balenciaga creative director, Demna, and Adidas.
West also name-dropped his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, and referenced their divorce and custody battle. He stated that a lawyer told him that he would never see his kids if he didn’t stop making “anti-Semitic comments.”

“Who makes the hospitals, though? These are zionists n—-. This is what I’m trying to tell you. Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Third-party sponsor that. Bring your sponsorship today because there’s gonna be some n—- that feel exactly like me,” the rapper yelled.
West also claimed that zionists run private schools, including the one attended by his children, Sierra Canyon.
“All y’all rich n—- got your kids in that zionist school. F—- Sierra Canyon. My daughter ripped up the motherf— couches in the house to be able to be here with me right now,” he stated.
Kanye West Sings About Sleeping With A ‘Jewish B—-‘

West’s apology to the Jewish community comes amid criticism for a song featured in his upcoming album, “Vultures,” which includes racy lyrics about him sleeping with a Jewish woman.
In the song, the rapper subtly referred to the controversy he faced last year when he was accused of anti-Semitism, singing, “How am I antisemitic? I just f—- a Jewish b—.”
Social media users were quick to condemn the rapper for his vulgar lyrics while claiming that he hadn’t learned from the backlash he faced for being anti-Semitic.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, said, “This is so unsurprising. This is [his] whole brand. He waited [until] the moment being antisemitic will be cool- now he got it.”
“POS! As if Kanye West ‘hooking up’ with a Jewish woman exonerates his antisemitism,” wrote another person. “He gets more and more ugly each time I see him. His inner ugliness is showing,” a third person added.
A fourth individual tweeted, “No one has helped take Kanye to Rehab yet? Should we be surprised?”
Considering his latest apology to Jews, it’s yet to be seen if the song will remain on West’s highly anticipated 11th studio album when it’s eventually released.
