Kanye West Says He’s Done With Antisemitism, Seeks Forgiveness Online
Is Kanye West finally turning a new leaf? That’s the question on everybody’s mind after the rapper made a surprising post Thursday morning.
In a rare moment of public reflection, Ye jumped on X (formerly Twitter) to announce,
“I am done with antisemitism. I love all people.” He followed that up with another tweet saying, “God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused. I forgive those who have caused me pain.”
Now this is a little shocking as this comes after years of headline-making rants, interviews, and online posts that left many fans deeply hurt, confused, or straight up angry. Remember… from shouting out Hitler to bashing Jewish people and even turning on his own circle, Ye became a walking cancellation in the eyes of both fans and the industry.
But now? It seems Ye is trying to pivot.
“I Got A FaceTime From My Kids…”: The Moment That Changed Everything?
So what sparked this shift in heart? According to Kanye, it was something as simple—but as powerful—as seeing his children. In another post on X, he shared, “I simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again… The earth itself is in God’s Kingdom.” And then he capped it off with: “GOD CALLS FOR PEACE.”
That’s real talk if it’s genuine. For someone who’s spent the last few years spiraling deeper into chaos, this moment could be his first step toward healing—not just for himself, but for the people he’s hurt. He’s been shut out of deals, dropped by brands, removed from platforms, and essentially blacklisted from Hollywood. But this latest message feels… different.
We’ve seen Ye talk peace before and still double back with another outburst, so naturally, folks online are skeptical. But the fact that he said “God forgive me” publicly? That’s something we haven’t heard from him in a minute. Maybe it’s time.
Can Kanye Really Come Back From This?
That’s the million-dollar question: Can Kanye West really bounce back after all this? The industry has all but slammed the door on him. Adidas dropped him. Balenciaga cut ties. His interviews were pulled, and long-time friends distanced themselves.
Even people who once called him a genius couldn’t defend the wild statements he made. From wearing “White Lives Matter” shirts to praising literal Nazis, Ye did the most—and not in a good way. But if this new tone is real, it could mark the beginning of something powerful.

Many fans still hold onto hope that the “Old Kanye” might return—the soul-sampling, truth-speaking, thought-provoking artist that changed the game. Not the one wrapped up in hate and scandal. And maybe, just maybe, this apology is the first step.
Fans React With Caution But Hope
The reactions online are mixed. Some people are hopeful. Others are flat-out over it. One user wrote, “If this is real, I’m happy. But we’ve been here before.” Another tweeted, “We want the old Ye back, but it gotta be real this time.”

The reality is, forgiveness ain’t something you demand—it’s something you earn. And Ye got a long road ahead if he’s serious about repairing the damage. His influence is still undeniable, but so is the pain he caused.
It’ll take consistency, humility, and more than a few tweets to bring people back around. But if Kanye’s truly had a moment of clarity—if his kids really did wake something up inside of him—then maybe there’s hope.
Will Kanye’s Apology Be The Start Of Redemption?
This ain’t about cancel culture anymore. It’s about accountability and change. Kanye West saying he’s done with antisemitism and asking God for forgiveness is huge. But words ain’t enough this time. Action has to follow.
