Kanye West back on social media to address his antisemitic tirades.
The 45-year-old rapper returned to Instagram for the first time since a series of antisemitic rants to announce that he likes “Jews again,” all thanks to Jonah Hillperformance in 21 Jump Street. No, we’re not kidding. In addition to the movie poster image of the 39-year-old actor and Channing TatumA 2012 comedy, he wrote on Saturday:
“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me feel like a Jew again. No one should be angry at one or two individuals and turn it into hatred for millions of innocent people. No Christian can be called antisemite knowing that Jesus is a man Jew Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.

Is this supposed to be an apology for everything that happened? Seriously?!
As most of you remember, Kanye made a series of antisemitic comments and promoted several antisemitic conspiracy theories in 2022, starting with threats to “kill 3 Jews” in Twitter. At Yeezy Designer added at the time:
“The funny thing is, I can’t be Anti-Semitic because black people are actually Jews as well. You’ve been toying with me and trying to get around anyone who opposes your agenda.”
Even to praise Hitler and Nazis during an interview with a known conspiracy theorist Alex Jones at InfoWars and post swastikas on social media. WTF. On top of his offensive and disgusting comments, he wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt throughout Paris Fashion Week. As a result of the action, some companies cut ties with record producers, including Vogue, Balenciaga, Adidas, CAAand gap.
And considering Ye had been doubling down on what he said, it was hard to believe that he suddenly regretted his bad behavior. And even though Kanye is trying to be authentic, the damage is done at this point. Back in February, the Anti Defamation League released a report stating that at least 30 antisemitic incidents can be directly linked to the comments of the All Lights artist. Just terrible.
So one post isn’t going to take away the pain that his actions caused or make people think that he really has changed and now realizes that what he did was horrible. At this time, Jonah has not reacted to Kanye’s statement. Reaction to the post, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments below.
