Kanye West has apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks in a new interview with Piers Morgan as part of his controversial media tour this week.
Ye was initially apprehensive about apologizing but he eventually reached a point in the interview where he took responsibility for his comments and showed remorse to those he hurt. Yeezy said he made the “Death Con 3” comments knowing they were racist and admitted that “hurt people, hurt people.”

“I will say I’m sorry for the people that I hurt with the Death Con,” he said. “I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I’m sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I’d been through. And I used my platform where you say, ‘Hurt people, hurt people.’ And I was hurt.
“I wanna say that it’s wrong to hold an apology hostage and I gotta let go of that and free myself of the trauma and say, ‘Look, I’m just gonna give it all up to God right now. And say to those families that are hurt I really wanna give you guys a big hug and I say I’m sorry for hurting you with my comments.”
Ye continued: “And I want to word it not in a political way, but a presidential way, which means what I knew to be a president when I was growing up.”
Look for the rest of the two-hour Kanye West interview with Piers Morgan to arrive on Friday (October 21).
