Kanye ‘Ye’ West has done a full 180 following substantial backlash to his new song Heil Hitler (Hooligan Version), which dropped two weeks ago.
‘I am done with antisemitism,’ the disgraced 47-year-old – who boasts 69.4M social media followers – announced on X Thursday.
‘I love all people.’
Ye – who was raised Christian – continued: ‘God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused. I forgive those who have caused me pain. Thank you God.’
The 24-time Grammy winner explained the reason behind his rejection of his Nazi persona was because ‘I simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again.’

Ye had been complaining about not seeing his six children – daughter North, 11; son Saint, 9; daughter Chicago, 7; and son Psalm, 5 – from his six-year marriage to Kim Kardashian, which ended in 2021.
‘With all of my money and fame I still don’t get to see my children,’ the Atlanta-born Chicago native rapped in Heil Hitler.
‘N*****s see my Twitter but they don’t see how I be feeling / So I became a Nazi, yeah b****, I’m the villain.’
Ye pays the 44-year-old ‘law school graduate’ $200K/month in child support as part of their 20/80 custody arrangement – according to TMZ.
On June 8, the Black Skinhead rapper will celebrate his 48th birthday followed by his eldest child North’s 12th birthday on June 15.
It all began in 2022 when Ye tweeted he was going ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’ – which got him promptly dropped by his agency CAA, production company MRC, Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga.
The Yeezy designer – who’s worn swastika and ‘White Lives Matter’ T-shirts – has repeatedly spoken about his disdain for Jewish people and his adoration of Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler.
But in 2023, Ye claimed watching Jonah Hill in his 2012 action comedy 21 Jump Street made him ‘like Jewish people again’ in a bizarre Instagram post.
‘No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people,’ the hip-hop star wrote at the time.

It’s unclear if Ye’s 11th studio album Bully – reportedly dropping June 15 – will still have ‘that anti-Semitic sound’ he promised on March 6
