After going on an unhinged antisemitic tirade, in which he compared himself to Nazi despot Adolf Hitler, rapper Kanye West (who goes by Ye) on Tuesday posted to his Instagram an apology to the Jewish community in less-than-stellar Hebrew.

"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was never my intention to cause harm or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused," he wrote after scrubbing all his old posts on the platform.
"I am committed to reflecting on this experience and learning from it to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am dedicated to making amends and promoting unity."
The rapper/businessman's recurring outbursts raised concerns among many Jewish communities across the United States. However, it was his high-profile dinner at Mar-a-Lago with white supremacist Nick Fuentes and former U.S. President Donald Trump that hogged up most of the attention, along with the recent release of his song "Israel," which featured controversial lyrics, including the term "Ni***r Moses."

With his recent post vowing not to repeat past mistakes, many are questioning whether he has truly turned a new leaf or if this is merely another instance of misdirection. Only time will tell.

don't believe him
Kanye is a racist. P!ain and simple. Every time he shoots his mouth, he apologizes, then does it again. And again. And again. the first thing he says is what he really means. TBE second d is a lie, and based on his need to be rich. Kinda like a certain ex president.

Next he will humbly announce that he is studying Judaism
and that his name is now Cohen-ye. Still a useless waste of oxygen.

The true Kanye.
Kanye West is unable to control his emotions.His antisemetic utterances are a true representation of his feelings .His apologies are contrived and meaningless.
