Ye Says Latest Apology For Hateful Antisemitic Remarks ‘Isn’t About Reviving My Commerciality’ Ahead of Album Release

Following Monday's (Jan. 26) WSJ ad tying his antisemitic rants to the effects of brain damage suffered in a 2002 car crash, Ye still won't explain the origin of his hate speech.

Ye (formerly Kanye West) apologized once again this week for his repeated amplifying of hateful antisemitic remarks, this time taking about a full-page ad in Monday’s (Jan. 26) edition of The Wall Street Journal to offer a mea culpa. The paid advertorial was his reported attempt to make amends to the Jewish community for his repeated embrace of Nazi symbolism and deployment of hate speech against Jews.

West explained in the pages of the Murdoch family-owned paper that the well-documented 2002 car crash that became the inspiration for his breakthrough 2004 single “Through the Wire” resulted in brain damage to the right frontal lobe of his brain that led to mental health issues and an eventual diagnosis of bipolar disorder. The once high-flying rapper and producer then claimed that he spiraled into a four-month manic episode in early 2025 that included “psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior that destroyed my life.”
