US EditionYe meets Rabbi Pinto, apologizes for past comments on Jews
Kanye West expressed profound remorse and sought forgiveness during a private meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto, aiming to rebuild trust after widespread condemnation.
- Pinto's office posted video Thursday showing Ye's meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto in Manhattan, where Ye expressed remorse and sought forgiveness, according to social media posts.
- The backdrop to the meeting is Ye's record of praising Adolf Hitler, promoting a swastika T-shirt and releasing "Heil Hitler" earlier this year, which triggered bans and corporate splits by Adidas, Balenciaga, Universal Music Group and platforms.
- During the meeting, Ye explained he was taking accountability and linked past remarks to bipolar disorder, while video shows them holding hands and Pinto calling Ye a `very good man`.
- Reactions were split, with Pinto framing the exchange as redemption, writing `A person is not defined by his mistakes`, while some condemned the welcome as a `vile and vomit-inducing whitewash`.
- Observers caution that Ye's full transformation remains unclear despite outreach, while his inflammatory record caused platform bans and corporate splits even as he continues music releases and international performances.
