Rapper Kanye West Pens Apology Letter to Jewish Community
Kanye West issued an apology to the Jewish community online Tuesday, a year after he first went on a number of anti-Semitic tirades.
In some statements, West accused the Jewish people of controlling much of the global economy and much of the entertainment industry.
In other statements, the rapper praised Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
On his Instagram page, the rapper, who now goes by Ye, issued a statement in Hebrew to his 18 million followers in which he asked for forgiveness.
“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,” he said, according to a translation of his statement by the Associated Press.
