Kanye West Renounces Antisemitism in X Posts, Seeks Forgiveness

Kanye West, professionally known as Ye, publicly disavowed antisemitism through a series of posts on X, marking a significant shift from his prior inflammatory remarks.

West declared, “I am done with antisemitism. ” He sought forgiveness for his past actions and extended forgiveness to others. A FaceTime call with his children inspired him to “save the world again.”

West’s antisemitic rhetoric began drawing widespread attention in 2022, when he posted content praising Adolf Hitler and promoting conspiracy theories, leading to severed partnerships with brands like Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap. The backlash cost him endorsement deals and prompted temporary restrictions on his social media accounts.

I am done with antisemitism

In February 2025, West reignited controversy by sharing antisemitic tropes and referencing Hitler positively on X, drawing condemnation from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Jewish Committee. The ADL reported a surge in antisemitic incidents linked to West’s influence, highlighting the real-world impact of his statements.

God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused

— ye (@kanyewest) May 22, 2025

In his recent X posts, West expressed regret, stating, “I forgive those who have caused me pain,” and “God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused.” He credited a conversation with his children, North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, shared with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, for his renewed perspective. West’s apology responded to years of criticism, though some users expressed scepticism, citing his history of erratic behaviour.

The Times of Israel and Reuters reported the posts as a potential turning point, though West offered no specific plans to address past harm beyond seeking forgiveness.

West’s antisemitic remarks have carried severe professional repercussions. The loss of Adidas alone, which ended its lucrative Yeezy partnership in 2022, reportedly cost West his billionaire status, per Forbes. Socially, his actions alienated fans and drew legal scrutiny, with X and other platforms temporarily suspending his accounts for violating hate speech policies.

The ADL criticised West for amplifying dangerous stereotypes, while Jewish community leaders called for accountability beyond public statements.

The disavowal comes amid heightened scrutiny of antisemitism in public discourse, with West’s influence as a global celebrity amplifying both his controversies and his apology. X posts reflect divided sentiment: some praise West’s contrition, while others urge consistent action to repair damage. West’s history of mental health struggles, including bipolar disorder, has been cited in discussions, though he has not linked his apology to health factors in 2025.

West’s apology signals an intent to move forward, but rebuilding trust will require sustained effort. Fans and critics await his next steps, potentially through music or philanthropy, to demonstrate a commitment to change.
