Ye Apologizes for Antisemitic Remarks, Blames Bipolar Disorder

Ye, the controversial hip-hop personality formerly known as Kanye West, apologized for his past antisemitic comments, attributing his previous offensive public behavior to bipolar disorder.

“I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment and meaningful change,” Ye wrote in a full-page advertisement that ran in the Wall Street Journal on Monday. “It does not excuse what I did, though. I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
