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.”

Princess Beatrice husband takes shocking step, fuels rumours again
Princess Beatrice’s husband once again returned to the headlines after his quiet social media move came to notice.
A few days ago, the property developer shared a video featuring his trip to Los Angeles, and it was captioned as “life is not a movie.”
However, the video is now deleted, leaving people assuming things.
Netizens speculate that the couple may be facing challenges behind the scenes, as scrutiny remains intense due to Andrew and Sarah Ferguson’s connections to Epstein.
There were also rumours about Beatrice and Edo’s marital woes.
But, it was denied by the couple’s pal to HELLO! that the talks surrounding their marriage problems are “not true at all.”
“The only thing Bea and Edo are navigating is their busy jobs and looking after their children! They’ve both had recent stints working abroad and, like so many working parents, have been balancing work with looking after the kids,” the source shared.
An insider said that Beatrice and Edo’s relationship is as strong as before. The only distance between them is due to work and other professional commitments.
