In the text, he commits to starting a journey of self-improvement and learning from this experience, aiming to develop greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Kanye highlights the importance of the Jewish community’s forgiveness and reaffirms his commitment to seeking reconciliation and promoting unity.
Kanye West’s history of anti-Semitic statements includes accusations made in 2022, such as wearing a t-shirt with the inscription “White Lives Matter” in reference to the “Black Lives Matter” movement. He also involved rapper Diddy in a controversy, even threatening Jewish people in an Instagram post. In his recent statements, including the song “Vultures”, Kanye continues to address the issue in a controversial way, questioning the accusation of anti-Semitism based on his personal experience. In a live stream earlier this month, the rapper made more anti-Semitic comments, mentioning that he keeps some Jewish people close to him, but only allowing them to look after his jewelry, without recognizing them as businesspeople. This series of statements has generated controversy and criticism, and the recent apology message appears to be a step towards reconciliation and mutual understanding.
