Kanye West has apologised to the Jewish community for his previous antisemitic comments in a new Instagram post.The rapper was first accused of antisemitism in October 2022 following a series of posts on both Twitter and Instagram, which saw his accounts on both social media sites be suspended.Earlier today (December 26), West shared a post written in Hebrew.

Translated into English, the message reads: “I sincerely apologise to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.

It was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.“I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.

Your forgiveness is important to me and I am committed to making amends and promoting greater unity.”A post shared by Ye (@kanyewest)Following the initial claims of antisemitism made against West – now known as Ye – the star was dropped by his lawyer, talent agency and record label, while several fashion brands, including Balenciaga and Adidas, ended their partnerships with him.
