Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, apologizes for antisemitic remarks and cites brain injury
Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, apologized for antisemitic remarks he made in the past and said a brain injury he suffered in a car accident 25 years ago led to his bipolar disorder diagnosis.
In a full-page ad in the print edition of Monday’s Wall Street Journal, Ye said the right frontal lobe of his brain was injured in the accident and he wasn’t properly diagnosed until 2023.
He also said that in early 2025 he experienced a four-month-long manic episode that “destroyed my life.”
“As the situation became increasingly unsustainable, there were times I didn’t want to be here anymore,” he says in the ad.
He goes on to say that having bipolar disorder made him feel like he didn’t need help.
“I lost touch with reality,” Ye says in the ad. “Things got worse the longer I ignored the problem. I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst.”
He says he gravitated toward “the most destructive symbol I could find, the swastika.”
Last year, he sold T-shirts on his website that bore the Nazi Party symbol. In 2022, he posted the symbol to Twitter, which led to his suspension, and, in a separate incident, said he was going to go “death con 3” on Jewish people.

That same year, he also made headlines for having dinner with white nationalist Nick Fuentes and President Trump (who was out of office at the time) at Mar-a-Lago. Mr. Trump said after the dinner that Fuentes had arrived with Ye and that Mr. Trump didn’t know who Fuentes was.
In Monday’s ad, Ye says he experienced “disconnected moments” that resulted in poor judgment and reckless behavior that he regretted.
“It does not excuse what I did, though,” the ad says. “I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
He has apologized for his behavior before. In an Instagram post in 2023, he issued an apology to the Jewish community that was written in Hebrew.
In the ad, he also also apologized to the Black community, which he says “held me down through all of the highs and lows and the darkest of times.”
“The black community is, unquestionably, the foundation of who I am,” Ye says. “I am so sorry to have let you down. I love us.”

Sean Diddy Combs’ son, Christian King Combs and his girlfriend Raven Tracy were targeted in an attempted break-in at their Los Angeles home early Thursday morning.
The LAPD rushed to their Porter Ranch mansion after an employee called police around 12:45 a.m.
The horrifying incident was a “burglary hot prowl,” which means someone tried to break in while people could have been home.
Luckily, neither King nor Raven were inside at the time as police said that no shots were fired and no suspects have been caught.
Reports, however, revealed that the people, who did that, tried to force open the back door but failed.
Tracy owns the mansion and last year she shared on her Instagram that it was their first home together. King is very close to his father Diddy and often works with him on projects.
This is not the first time celebrities in Los Angeles have faced such issue and been targeted as recently, homes belonging to Rachel Zoe, Kathy Hilton, Sutton Stracke, Lionel Richie, Brad Pitt, Teddi Mellencamp and Nicole Kidman were also faced attempted burglaries.
Many of these incidents, however, happened while the stars were away, showing how careful celebrities need to be about home security.
And just like that… Sarah Jessica Parker turned 61.
The Emmy-winning actress marked another trip around the sun on Wednesday, March 25. And among the first to wish her were her Sex and the City castmates, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis.
Nixon, who plays Miranda Hobbes opposite SJP’s Carrie Bradshaw, celebrated her longtime friend by sharing an Instagram carousel of their friendship through the years, including one of them sharing the screen on the 1981 ABC movie My Body, My Child — long before they starred together on Sex and the City.
“A very happy birthday to my incredible and very dear friend Sarah Jessica. 47 years and counting!” wrote Nixon. “As well as I know you, you never cease to amaze and inspire me.”
Kristin Davis, beloved as Charlotte York on SATC, wrote, “Happy birthday Sarah… It’s so wonderful to get to go through all these many years with you… Looking forward to many more.”
Davis’ wish was also accompanied by a series of photographs of the pair from red carpets to supermarkets.
After dominating the ‘90s and 2000s with six seasons and two movies of Sex and the City, the trio reunited for the 2021 reboot, And Just Like That, which ran for three seasons before being abruptly cancelled last year.
Camila Morrone, who stars in the series “Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen,” speaks to “CBS Mornings” about the show, what intimidated her about the horror genre, and working with the Duffer brothers.
