SUMMARY: Rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, apologized to the Jewish community for his history of antisemitic comments. He made the apology in a Hebrew Instagram post after going on an antisemitic rant in Las Vegas while promoting his upcoming album. The Anti-Defamation League welcomed the apology, but the American Jewish Committee criticized Ye’s use of Hebrew, calling it inaccessible to most American Jews. Adidas cut ties with Ye due to his offensive comments, and he has faced backlash from other organizations, including being dropped by his talent agency and losing his documentary deal. This isn’t the first time Ye has apologized for antisemitic comments, and he says he is committed to learning from the experience and making amends.
