Kanye West declared he is "done with antisemitism" on Thursday evening, just two weeks after releasing a song expressing support for Adolf Hitler. The controversial rapper apologized for the pain he has caused and requested forgiveness in a series of posts on social media platform X.
I am done with antisemitism

"God forgive me for the pain I caused," Kanye West wrote in one of his posts. The rapper, who shares four children with ex-wife Kim Kardashian – North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West – explained his motivation for the latest apology. "I just got a FaceTime call from my kids, and I want to save the world again," West wrote.
Social media users responded with skepticism to West's declaration, questioning whether he would maintain this new path given his repeated antisemitic expressions in recent years. One user corrected the post, writing "I'm done with antisemitism... for today." Another user named Ricardo replied, "You say this every 4 months and get worse each time."
West has been blocked and suspended multiple times for social media messages, including posting "I am Nazi" in February. During that same month, he called Adolf Hitler "fresh," and his e-commerce website was removed because he sold sweatshirts featuring swastikas.

In 2022, West lost all his fashion sponsors, including Adidas and Balenciaga, following antisemitic tweets in which he threatened to kill Jews. He apologized afterward, but deviated from that path again and continued being antisemitic on social media.
The rapper, who previously declared he is bipolar, said in February that he is actually autistic, despite various psychiatrists indicating he has different disorders. "I haven't taken medication since I discovered that bipolar wasn't the correct diagnosis," West said on "The Download" podcast at that time.
