This apology followed a controversial incident where videos circulated of Ye delivering an expletive-laden rant about Adolf Hitler, Jesus, and Donald Trump’s legal issues to an audience. During the outburst, he questioned Trump’s allegiance, referring to a mug shot and co-parenting challenges with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Ye’s recent actions add to a history of controversial behavior, including previous antisemitic remarks that led to the suspension of his Twitter and Instagram accounts. Additionally, he faced repercussions such as being dropped by notable companies like Adidas, Balenciaga, and the talent agency CAA.
