Rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, has publicly apologised for his past antisemitic comments that sparked global outrage in 2022 and 2023. In a viral video, Ye is seen meeting Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto in Manhattan, expressing regret and taking full accountability for his words. “I feel really blessed to be sitting here today with you to take accountability,” Kanye says, adding that his bipolar disorder had taken his ideas “to the extreme.”

Ye’s remarks had previously led to massive backlash, with brands like Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga terminating their multimillion-dollar partnerships with him. The rapper now appears to be on a journey of redemption, calling this meeting “the first step” in making amends. The emotional encounter has since gone viral on social media, sparking debates about forgiveness, accountability, and mental health in the entertainment industry.
