The artist previously known as Kanye West blamed his behavior on bipolar disorder, saying he “lost touch with reality.”
Ye, the US rapper and record producer known as Kanye West, has taken out a full-page advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, expressing regret for years of antisemitic behavior.
In the ad, he wrote that he “lost touch with reality” and blamed his actions on an undiagnosed brain injury from a 2002 car crash and untreated bipolar disorder.
“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,” he added.
