I am done with antisemitism - Kanye West
- In May 2025, rapper Ye publicly announced on X that he is renouncing antisemitism and called for peace following years of antisemitic statements and controversies.
- His change followed widespread backlash from earlier incidents, including hateful social media posts in 2022 and 2025, attempts to sell swastika merchandise, and releasing a song titled "Heil Hitler."
- Ye’s antisemitic statements prompted numerous major brands, including a leading sportswear company, a high-fashion label, a prominent music corporation, and a global apparel retailer, to end their partnerships with him, while organizations like the Anti-Defamation League publicly condemned his actions.
- On May 22, 2025, Ye posted multiple messages saying, "God forgive me for the pain I've caused" and "GOD CALLS FOR PEACE," signaling repentance and a desire to change.
- Despite the apology, the Anti-Defamation League expressed skepticism about his sincerity, and experts noted it will take more than posts to repair damage from his hate speech.
