Kanye West has issued an apology to the Jewish community for his antisemitic remarks ahead of his Vultures album release.
The 46-year-old rapper, who now goes by Ye, took to social media early Tuesday morning (Dec. 26) to share his regrets over comments in a statement written in Hebrew.
“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,”
Ye wrote on Instagram.
“It was not my intention to offend 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. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”
Earlier this month, during a listening party in Miami for his oft-delayed collaborative album, Vultures, with Ty Dolla $ign, Ye appeared onstage wearing what appeared to be a black Ku Klux Klan-style hood to perform the project’s title track.
“I ain’t antisemitic/ I just f-ed a Jewish b–,” he rapped during the song, adding to his controversial antisemitic statements from the prior year.
