"Kanye West's history with antisemitism is well documented. He posted that he was going 'death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE' on Twitter on October 8, 2022."
"In 2026, however, he's been attempting grand gestures to return to respectability. He took out an ad to apologize. 'I am not a Nazi or an antisemite,' he wrote in a full page ad in The Wall Street Journal."
Kanye West performed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, showcasing his enduring popularity despite brands distancing themselves from him. Following U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer's concerns over West's antisemitic history, major sponsors like Pepsi and Diageo withdrew support from the Wireless Festival, where West is set to perform. West's past includes inflammatory statements and actions, but he has made attempts to rehabilitate his image, including public apologies and attributing his behavior to a bipolar episode.
