Kanye West, after comparing himself to Jesus and Hitler, apologizes in Hebrew for antisemitic remarks
Fox News
The rapper formerly known as Kanye West apologized to the Jewish community Tuesday for his past antisemitic comments – just a couple of weeks after comparing himself to Hitler.
"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions," Ye wrote. "It was not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused." Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The statement comes less than two weeks after Ye went on an antisemitic rant in Las Vegas while promoting his upcoming album "Vultures." In the rant, he made insidious insinuations about Jewish influence and compared himself to Jesus Christ and Adolf Hitler.
"After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt," the Anti-Defamation League said in response to Ye’s post. "Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome."
