Kanye West musical comeback:
Kanye West is attempting a musical comeback shortly after he passed some anti-semitic comments last fall which ended up landing him in hot water.
The Anti-Defamation League condemned his comments shortly after which the I Wonder rapper faced sever backlash on social media platforms.
This was followed by West being dropped from major partnerships with companies including Adidas, Balenciaga and Gap.
However, West has continued to fuel controversy during his latest album’s promotion, with the title track having the lyrics that go, “How am I anti-semitic? I just fucked a Jewish b-.”
Though, the Runaway hit-maker posted a brief apology to the Jewish community on Instagram, written in Hebrew.
“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity,” his apology read.
