Ye issues an apology for his antisemitic comments
“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did though… I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people… To the black community - which held me down through all of the highs and lows and the darkest of times. The black community is, unquestionably, the foundation of who I am. I am so sorry to have let you down. I love us.
In early 2025, I fell into a four-month long manic episode of psychotic, paranoid and impulsive behavior that destroyed my life. As the situation became increasingly unsustainable, there were times I didn’t want to be here anymore.
Having bipolar disorder is notable state of constant mental illness. When you go into a manic episode, you are ill at that point. When you are not in an episode, you are completely ‘normal’. And that’s when the wreckage from the illness hits the hardest. Hitting rock bottom a few months ago, my wife encouraged me to finally get help.
I have found comfort in Reddit forums of all places. Different people speak of being in manic or depressive episodes of a similar nature. I read their stories and realized that I was not alone. It’s not just me who ruins their entire life once a year despite taking meds every day and being told by the so-called best doctors in the world that I am not bipolar, but merely experiencing “symptoms of autism.”
My words as a leader in my community have global impact and influence. In my mania, I lost complete sight of that.
As I find my new baseline and new center through an effective regime of medication, therapy, exercise, and clean living, I have newfound, much-needed clarity. I am pouring my energy into positive, meaningful art: music, clothing, design, and other new ideas to help the world.
I’m not asking for sympathy, or a free pass, though I aspire to earn your forgiveness. I write today simply to ask for your patience and understanding as I find my way home.”
With love,
Ye

@Pureblood111 @SomaKazima2 Right so ancient Egypt wasn't a great society. The most powerful Americans like the freemasons worship ancient egypt thats why theres literally a pyramid on the back of the dollar bill. And what about the Moors who taught Europeans to be civilized.
I bought a second home in Spain for $250,000 because I don't want to live in the US anymore. It's half the cost of living in Manhattan. https://t.co/WKaSlRF3Wd
Go to a mental hospital @kanyewest and stay there for several months. I’m begging you to do this. I have bipolar also and I say crazy hateful things off meds and delusional.
@pmarca Yes and that’s exactly why I hated public policy school and applied to law school. 😂 But… it’s not like there’s no statistics and calculus in public policy.
I’m not kidding I’m a big fan of yours, Candace. I’ve been a fan for about a month. I read blackout which was excellent. I can’t wait til you run for President because most Republicans don’t give a shit about blacks either! Democrats don’t either. @RealCandaceO
How come we don’t condemn the founding fathers for effectively codifying 100 years of slavery into the US constitution? But we condemn Hitler for the 5 year Holocaust. Sorry Donald america was never great. @kanyewest@RealCandaceO
Kim you’re stooping instead of going high. Just because he’s hanging out with Ray j and Candace. You’re angry and trying to destroy him. Shame!!! @voguemagazine @BALENCIAGA @caafoundation he apologized and explained!!!!
Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.
@voguemagazine @BALENCIAGA @caafoundation he apologized and said what he really meant. He’s not antisemitic. Stop trying to destroy this man and side with @KimKardashian against him. @kanyewest
@KimKardashian Um.... Stop blowing it out of proportions. He APOLOGIZED, EXPLAINED himself and ppl like u r still pushing the agenda? Why is that? U want him destroyed so u can have all his money??? Or u want ur kids to be fatherless like ur mum did to u???

Kanye didn’t become a white supremacist until after he developed bipolar in 2016. It’s his bipolar. My bipolar has also led me to be caught up in delusions and believe bigoted things. @kanyewest
I have bipolar and I completely understand Kanye west. He’s paranoid he thinks Jews are trying to blackball him. He’s delusional. His mind is coming up with these crazy ideas and he’s backing up the delusions he’s experiencing with real life evidence and spiraling out of control.
