Kanye West apologises to rabbi for antisemitic remarks
Kanye West recently sat down with a rabbi to apologise for his antisemitic comments over the years.
On November 4th, Ye held a private meeting with New York rabbi, Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, who claimed the rapper expressed “profound remorse” over his remarks.
In a video that circulated online, Kanye blamed his bipolar disorder on his hurtful comments about Jewish people.
“I feel really blessed to be able to sit here with you today and just take accountability,” he said. “I was dealing with some various issues of bipolar, so it would take the ideas I had and have me take them to an extreme where I would forget about the protection of the people around me or and myself.”
He continued, “So, I wanted to come and take accountability. Sometimes people aren’t that knowledgeable about bipolar and the cause, or what causes it, and the way you act when you have this disease.”
Pinto went on to call Ye a “very good man,” adding, “The Jews live on this way of if someone did something wrong, you can regret and fix it. From now on, strong things and good things, you are a very good man.”
He concluded, “A person is not defined by his mistakes, but by the way he chooses to correct them. This is the true strength of man: the ability to return, to learn, and to build bridges of love and peace.”
It was only in February that Kanye praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. “I love Hitler now what bitches,” he wrote on X. “I’m a Nazi. I say whatever the fuck I want p*ssies.”
He went on to admit that he’s racist and claimed the term “antisemitic” had no meaning. “I’m racist stereo types exist for a reason and they all be true,” he said. “I don’t even know what the fuck anti semetic means it’s just some bullshit Jewish people made up to protect their bullshit was that the write there.”
Ye added, “You n*ggas slow. Fucking r*tards. I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments I can say whatever the fuck I wanna say forever.”
