Kanye West has apologised for his vile antisemitic remarks.

In an Instagram post, he made a statement that was written in Hebrew with this apology. The post was simple with only the text itself against a white background. Kanye said: "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."

The statement comes after Kanye received a threat from an IDF soldier. MMA fighter Haim Gozali, who faces Israeli military conscription, shared a photo of a missile. "Kanye West Flying to Gaza Haim Gozali" was written on the side of the weapon in marker amid the current Israeli-Hamas war. He captioned the post: "@kanyewest you don't like us Jewish. So, we don't like you too."

In recent years, Kanye has made several antisemitic comments and was even revealed to have a deep interest in Adolf Hitler.

He's consistently doubled down on his comments, including tell Piers Morgan that Jewish people have harmed him in music deals and contracts. Kanye did rescind his feelings toward Jewish people before, claiming in a post that watching a Jonah Hill movie changed his mind on the situation.

Kanye made a return to music with a song called Vultures. It included an antisemitic lyric, leaving fans upset. He attempted to combat the image surrounding him and said: "How I'm antisemitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b****."

Fans weren't necessarily impressed by the change of heart nor did many people believe him. One fan said: "Using Hebrew to apologize so his fans can’t read it. Can’t even write in English anywhere on the post as he’s too embarrassed to be seen apologising to us Jews … a coincidence his album is out soon? Give me a break."
