Apology and Personal Reflections
In light of recent controversies, West has taken steps to regain public goodwill. He published an ad in The Wall Street Journal to express remorse for his past antisemitic remarks. He disclosed that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2023, following extensive examinations due to a 2002 car accident that left him with a broken jaw.

West admitted he “lost touch with reality” during his struggles and acknowledged that ignoring his mental health issues exacerbated his behavior. He stated, “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions” and is committed to accountability and change.
He also clarified, “I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” seeking to address concerns related to his past comments as he prepares for his concerts and new music releases.
