American rapper and fashion mogul Kanye West has once again publicly apologised for his past anti-Semitic remarks, nearly three years after his initial apology was rejected by Jewish advocacy groups.
The latest apology, titled “To Those I Have Hurt,” was published on Monday in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal.
The message, signed by Kanye West, was reportedly paid for by his fashion brand, Yeezy, according to Daily Mail.
In the statement, the singer linked his controversial outbursts to a brain injury he sustained in a car accident about 25 years ago.
He explained that the accident broke his jaw and may have caused damage to the right frontal lobe of his brain, an injury that was not properly diagnosed at the time.
Kanye West noted that neurological examinations were limited when the accident occurred and that the possibility of frontal-lobe damage was never considered.
He said the condition was only properly identified in 2023, describing the medical oversight as a factor that significantly affected his mental health and contributed to his bipolar type-1 diagnosis.
The apology comes years after Jewish organisation StopAntisemitism rejected his first public apology, insisting at the time that his actions required more than words.
