Ye, F.K.A. Kanye West, Issues Formal Apology To Jewish Community
According to Vanity Fair, on Monday, January 26, a new issue of The Wall Street Journal’s print edition was published. Furthermore, the publication featured an apology letter from Ye. “To Those I Hurt,” the letter is titled.
“Twenty-five years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain. At the time, the focus was on the visible damage—the fracture, the swelling, and the immediate physical trauma. The deeper injury, the one inside my skull, went unnoticed,” the rapper writes, beginning his letter.
As the note goes on, Ye revealed that his “frontal lobe injury” wasn’t diagnosed until 2023. Furthermore, he stated that the “medical oversight” caused “serious damage” to his mental health. Additionally, he stated that it contributed to his bipolar I diagnosis.
Ye then went on to explain that he thought he was seeing the world clearly, but he was in a manic state and in “denial.” This, all while feeling “powerful, certain, and unstoppable.”
“In that fractured state, I gravitated toward the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika,” he continued.
Ultimately, he stated that he is “mortified” by his actions. And he is “not a Nazi” or an “antisemite.”

At that point, Ye addressed the Black community, apologizing for letting the community down. Furthermore, Ye noted that he fell into a 4-month manic episode and ultimately was able to find help through his wife, Bianca Censori.
“My words as a leader in my community have real global impact and influence. In my mania, I lost complete sight of that,” he continued.
As he concluded, Ye noted that as he finds his baseline “through effective regime of medication, therapy, exercise, and clean living,” his clarity is now renewed. Furthermore, he plans to pour himself into his various lanes of artistry and “help” the world.
“I’m not asking for sympathy or for a pass, though I aspire to earn your forgiveness. I write today simply to ask for your patience and understanding as I find my way home,” he concluded.
