American rapper Kanye West has apologized for anti-Semitic attacks. He took out an ad in The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair wrote.
In the apology titled “To those I have hurt,” the musician spoke about a 2002 car accident that left him with a broken jaw.
“Twenty-five years ago, I was in a car accident that left me with a broken jaw and damage to the right frontal lobe of my brain. At the time, the focus was on the visible damage – broken bones, swelling and direct physical trauma. The deeper injuries, the injuries inside my skull, went unnoticed,” West wrote.
In his apology, Kanye asserted that his allegedly damaged frontal lobe was not thoroughly examined for a long time and the damage was only discovered in 2023.
According to him, this trauma contributed to his bipolar disorder.
“I lost touch with reality. The more I ignored the problem, the worse it became. I said and did things that I deeply regret. Some of the people I loved the most I treated the worst. You experienced the fear, confusion, humiliation and exhaustion of trying to reach someone who was sometimes unrecognizable. Looking back, I realize that I had become alienated from myself,” he told those he had hurt and his ex-wife. Kim Kardashian.
In recent years, Kanye West has repeatedly appeared online praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, displaying Nazi symbols and criticizing Israel, only to be criticized and canceled.
