Hip-hop artist and producer Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has issued a public apology for his past antisemitic remarks and actions by taking out a full-page advertisement in The Wall Street Journal. Titled “To Those I’ve Hurt,” the letter marks one of Ye’s most detailed acknowledgements of the controversy that surrounded him in recent years and led to widespread backlash.

Kanye West reacted to his behaviour post the diagnosis

In the statement, Ye reflected on his mental health struggles, linking much of his behaviour to an untreated brain injury and bipolar disorder. He revealed that injuries sustained during a car accident in 2002 affected his frontal lobe and contributed to long-term psychological issues. “I lost touch with reality,” he wrote, admitting that ignoring his condition for years worsened the situation. He added that he was only properly diagnosed in 2023.
