Ye, the singer and entrepreneur formerly known as Kanye West, has publicly apologized for his past antisemitic remarks in a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, attributing his behavior to an undiagnosed brain injury and mental health issues.
He expressed regret for his actions and is seeking understanding and forgiveness as he works on his recovery, “I’m not asking for sympathy, or a free pass, though I aspire to earn your forgiveness,” Ye concluded. “I write today simply to ask for your patience and understanding as I find my way home.”

Reaction was swift
When he blames a 25-years old car accident and the influence of people like Candace Owens, while praising the Black community for always being there, you have to ask yourself, is the timing on this motivated out of self-interest, or genuine regret?
Kanye is a manipulative, sociopathic narcissist who is playing upon the gullibility of every tender hearted soul who has a bit of familiarity with mental illness.

It's a cynical psyop because he lost sponsorship deals and he has a new album coming out.
Millions of people live…
