Kanye West has doubled down on his anti-Jewish comments, claiming that “Black people can’t be antisemitic.”
Speaking to TMZ at LAX on Monday (February 12) after attending the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, Ye discussed his controversial comments about Jewish people, which he had previously apologized for.
Addressing the backlash to his past remarks, which included praising Hitler and spreading conspiracy theories about Jewish people, he said: “They got the right to their opinion. I got the right to my opinion. You understand what I’m saying?
“We all have the right to our opinions but so many people will lose their jobs, lose their careers for taking the steps that we took. We went down for like a year and a half.”
Kanye also directly addressed the fallout from his October 2022 tweet saying he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people: “I even sent the apology and [adidas] still fuck with me. Some of the stuff I was saying was true.
“So until y’all come up and say, ‘Yo, what he was saying, some of that was true,’ go ahead with all that … Black people can’t be antisemitic. We are Jews, you understand what I’m saying? We are Jew.”
He added: “For all the Jewish kids that love me, I’m sorry if y’all had to hear a grown up conversation with us screaming at each other, but we got to a point where something needed to happen, something needed to be said.”
Late last year, Kanye West released an apology in Hebrew to the Jewish community following a continued stream of antisemitic remarks.
āI sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions,ā the apology reads in English. āIt was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.
āI am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding more in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.ā
West had previously said he saw “good things” in Hitler and was seen in public with Holocaust deniers.
Despite his show of remorse, the rap mogul addressed the controversy with a similar defiance on his recently released album with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures 1.
“Crazy, bipolar, antisemite/ And I’m still the king,” he rapped on the closing song “King.”
No Kanye, we don’t understand what you’re saying.
Yawn. Make better music
Weak album promo š¤£
ConYe saying something true here for once…BLACK IS THE NEW JEā©. Been tellin you semen breath m/fkrs for years. LISTENš
This website loves hating on Ye.
Nah , man. He does it all to himself. Time and time again he sabotages his own career.. And donāt call yourself God, you weirdo
I just find him funny. I see him more as a comedian than a rapper. His job is to piss sensitive people off and he is great at it. Never reslly been a fan of his music, but we need more rappers like him. I love when people get mad at him for not following the narrative. Black people cant like this or black people cant say that, why not ? Its a free country. Let the man speak his mind even if he is batshit crazy. He wipes his ass with the narrative and you cant help but admire him for that.
I was following U until U said “black people can’t…”.
It was about him as a person, not as a black person. See?
Looks like Americans are too damn immersed into this racial stuff (outside looking in here, I’m from Ukraine).
Black Americans are the top culture vultures in 2024ā¦ āwe was da original, Egyptians, Asians, Indians , Mexicansā lmaooo now tryna be all white superhero charactersā¦. All this loudness to stop the fact they canāt achieve much w.o help
We’ve never said we were the original Asians nor Mexicans. STOP LYING! Yall can’t take the truth cause y’all want us to believe that we came from nothing. We know better! We were achieving just fine without yalls help before y’all came and invaded. All your people did was steal and murder to get to the top! Tf outta here Caucuses Mountaineer
Achieving before us?? YOU WERE SLAVES TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE š yāall were accomplishing sh!t either way at that point in time
Oh wow, look at the genius here! Clearly, not every black person in history was enslaved, Sherlock! It’s just mind-boggling that someone like you, who has never bothered to open a book in their entire life, would have the audacity to make such an insightful observation. Bravo!
But hey, let’s not forget about the brilliant suggestion you have for your own existence! Your mother should have just swallowed you up like TD Jakes. I mean, why waste precious resources, right? If only we all had your incredible wisdom and intelligence, the world would be such a more enlightened place.
Yet we are asiaitic, yet their are old photos of older Mexicans that have dark skin, yet are people.do male up a great portion of Mexican food consumption and sells…yet we were taught Latin in schools not african languages…ya dig…we been lied too…whoever you are you’ve believed lie to satisfy your cultures success…black people so powerful we had to be renamed a color and tricked l, probably by our own people cuz ain’t nobody on this planet get like us when we got in our bag…2nd off peon, Egypt is over here…so was China on old maps but I digress…back to egypt…theirs Cairo illinois, mounds and step pyramids all through Midwest Florida tenn, Arizona etc…we know our history…do you know yours….we’ve never been slaves but prisoners of war…lol give me enough time I’ll show you a slave/slav lol
What a typical ghetto sounding excuse of a high school drop out.

Schwoog? Who says that? Return to your own culture, instead of hunting down bkack sites all day. You’re addicted to us. lol
It’s bad enough that Taylor Swift is getting too much attention from the NFL. Some fans like myself are sick seeing her at Chiefs games. Now she can have Kanye removed from the Super Bowl FOH!! She doesn’t own an NFL team and sleeping with Travis Kelce doesn’t give her any special rights. I need some video evidence to believe this. Brittany Mahomes wasn’t shown at the games nor was any other WAGS.
The media has shown her ass at games and others whom are wives aren’t. I hope they break up before next season begins. Media focus on the game not a player whose girlfriend is in attendance.
Media tell this: For the second year in a row a BLACK QUARTERBACK LEAD HIS TEAM TO THE LOMBARDI TROPHY! Now go print that since it’s BLACK HISTORY MONTH!!
Can’t tell him nothin’. And that’s not a good thing.
Clearly the majority of you are uneducated in spiritual knowledge. Black people ARE the original. # clueless clowns # don’t @ me dummy
